You would think that a woman of 43, who grew up using baby oil and iodine to sun herself (bad, bad!) , who has studied and experimented on every skin care product known to man (to correct the years of sunning herself) , would have known better than to go to a carnival, in a tank top, with NO SUNSCREEN ON!!!!! I am soooo burnt. What was I thinking? Well, every now and then, we just need to humble ourselves with a big dose of stupid, right? So today, when I should be enjoying this gorgeous day, I am feeling crummy, burnt, and tired. Totally my own fault. Lesson learned, until next time. :) Enjoy your day friends, I am nursing my crispy skin.
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
