I’m done.

Actually, I’m fried.  While always one to insist the kids put on sunblock, girl genius here decided yesterday that she didn’t need any.  And guess what?  I’m blistered.  I’m beet red and, thanks to the white vinegar I’ve been applying to pull the sting out, I smell like a pickle. 

Not good.

But the dh’s aunt’s pool is beautiful and I had a great time with the kids, pitting them against eachother in all sorts of competitions.  Best cannonball, best toothpick, best wet hair do, best dive.  Big fun.  All in all I had a wonderful Mother’s Day.  Daughter got me a lovely pair of opal earrings, and the dh got me a pretty new mail box–which he’s already installed–and a new swing for the deck.  (It lays down and makes a bed.)  Last night we went out to my mother’s and grilled out and had homemade banana ice cream.  (No, this wasn’t on the diet, but I ate it anyway.  Too good to pass up.)

What about you?  How did you spend your weekend?
