I Got Burned

Yesterday was a good day.  It was hot out, but we made the best of it.  I helped Angie go through things.  I brought out the clothes to go through.  Then, I went through my own clothes.  I managed to get some more things to give away.  Once done, we ran to the store and got Elana's Icee.  She was thrilled.  At this point, the girls wanted to go to the pool.  We got everyone ready.  I put suntan lotion on the girls and myself.  I thought I was smart.  I kept on the shirt I was wearing.  I felt that if I had on the shirt, it would block the rays of the sun.  It was not a cotton shirt.  It was a runners shirt.  One of  those light breathable shirts.  The pool was fun.  Elana seem to get into swimming more than Haley.  The only issue I had was with the older girls.  They kept throwing water in their faces or tossing them around.  I kept reminding them that they were not toys.  When we got home, I expected them to fall asleep.  It did catch up to Elana.  Haley had other plans.  The pool did not affect her.

This morning, I woke up and felt a little pain.  When I took off my top, I discovered that the shirt idea was not a good one.  Evidently, the sun goes right through a shirt like that.  My back looked like a complexion you see in our tourist corridor.  It was bright red.  Next time I use a shirt, it will be one that is thicker and I will also put on lotion.
