Sunburn woes

Well, I did it again.  Went to the beach and didn't use enough sunscreen.  It was a gorgeous day--the kids had such a good time (and the salt water was great for Eli's poison ivy).

I had a great time, too, but now I am in pain.   My chest, arms and shoulders are red, red, red.  It was that kind of sunburn where when you're at the beach, you think, Hey, I didn't get too burned!  Then once you get home, you're like, Hmmm, I'm a little redder than I thought...  And then two hours later, your husband comes home and says, Holy cow, are you RED!!!!

And can I say, I always get a sunburn in September?  I swear the sun is hotter & brighter in this ninth month than in the height of summer.  A few years ago it was my feet that got it (I always remember sunscreen on my feet now).  Maybe next year I'll remember the rest of me!

I hate to say I told you so

But....

I am golden brown, no red, and yes, I did use sun screen!
