What was I thinking?
Ok remember that blog not too long ago when I said that we moms need to remember to take care of ourselves first? Well, I need to remember to take my own advice.This skin atrocity is the result of three things:
1. Excitement at summer's arrival.
2. This passing thought that I'll skip the sunscreen because I'd like to get "a little bit of color," but in my sunbaked mind, that means "golden brown," not "boiled lobster."
3. Two hours of a cloudless sky at the beach, two days before the summer solstice.
Oh and by the way, it hurts... a lot.
Again, what the heck was I thinking???
The happy news here is that the SPF 30 I slathered all over Little Man did the trick. Yes, it looks like diaper ointment going on, but he is as pale as can be, and pain-free.

Aloe and vitamin e to gently pour on your skin, along with advil (take that orally). Oh, babe, I feel for you, sun burns just aren't fun.
Ouch! I burned my shoulders the other day. I attribute it for me to being so busy slathering up my two girls that by the time we actually get out the door I have completely forgotten about myself. I hope you heal quickly. That looks painful.
I have peeled!!! But I think I'm going to have silly tan lines for the whole summer. That tube top I had my heart set on is gonna have to wait :-) lol
Holy smokes - is that from our beach date at Kettle Cove???
Yup... that was it....
my niece says it looks like a red hotdog! OW!
