Sunblock....it's important

I have been told since I was a little girl that I needed to put sunblock on. "You are fair-skinned" they would say. Usually it was my mom, but other times it was friends. So why sunblock...well it's important. I learned that this past week. Friday I took my girls from school to the beach. On the way there I ever so gently reminded my husband that when we got there I needed to put sunblock on my back. Did I remember? NOPE! Did he remind me? NOPE So now I have zebra stripes across my back. Only mine aren't black and white they are red and white. I guess it's more like a candy cane stripes across my back than zebra stripes.
All that being said you would think that as I lay in bed on Saturday feeling the pain of my candy cane back I would remind myself once again that sunblock is important. OK...now on to Sunday. It was my turn to take the kids for our Grace Group. We went to the pool for 2 hours. It was a blast and I made sure that when I put a suit on it was different than the one I had worn on Friday to the beach, and that it covered candy cane striped sunburned back. All was good until later that evening when I realized that I had put sunblock on my face, but in my haste to be sure the children were slathered in sunblock I forgot the rest of my body. Well, needless to say the front of me now looks like the back of me, except there are no stripes, it's just all red.
