The Sun: Friend or Foe

Seriously?

I'm very disappointed with the sun today.

We got up early, packed, drove the 1 hour to the coast, woke up Lisa and her family, and then watched as the sun went behind a beautiful puffy cloud, TO NEVER BE SEEN Again.

Freaking Sun.

I love to hate you.

Being the "fish belly white" skin color my whole life, I have developed a healthy respect for you over the years. 

My days of basking in your light only to turn RED then peel, then WHITE again are OVER. 

The freckles that appeared all over my legs are not cute little "sun kisses".

They are actually SCARS from when I was burned so bad I couldn't walk for 2 weeks.

I'm smarter now! I wear sunscreen, I wear a HAT ( even tho I look like a LOSER).

I know the dangers, I RESPECT the danger of too much sun.

I understand that you can have too much of a good thing.

But seriously? 15 days of cloudy?

After we have been locked in this house all winter? I survived the 495 snow storms in a row, my kids have gone to school thru ALL of June, and the threat of flooding will soon be here.

I'm done. I want some sun.

No, I DEMAND SOME Freaking SUN.
