Suntan Lotion in my Eyes makes me Cry

And that’s exactly what happened this morning. I was slathering Caroline in Suntan lotion before she went off to camp for the day. I rubbed my eyes and now they burn and itch. I really should know better by now. *sigh*

Peter is off to the city for a business meeting that has been pushed back a couple of times due to his back. Today is sort of a trial run for San Diego, which starts in less than a week. He got the last of his sutures out yesterday. Not painful except for the one that was becoming one with his back.

In other news, Peter got this screwy e-mail from Susan Ellison about being stuck in London and having been mugged. I stopped Peter from replying because I knew this was a scam since I have seen almost the exact same letter go out to a doll making group I am part of. Peter got in touch with Susan. She is at home with Harlan and not in London having been mugged. The webmaster traced it to, you guessed it, Nigeria.

Is anyone else watching the New Futurama? I enjoyed last night’s episode. It had that weird mix of odd that I always enjoyed.

Work of Art is losing my interest although I’d love to have their art supplies. This last one just didn’t work as a challenge because (unlike clothes) grouping artists together and then having them build something together is a recipe for disaster. The only thing I agree with is the group the won should have won.

I am grateful for those little pauses in life that give one a moment to breath.

I do that every single time I put suntan lotion on myself or the kids - rub my eyes :S

Yes suntan lotion in the eyes does burn--try getting it on 4-5 squirmy toddlers and preschoolers whose parents don't want to spend the extra few dollars on the face sticks or won't use them because they want to use only the homeopathic stuff. Fun days let me tell you!

I'm just so glad Peter is doing better.

My sister in law says a minute in a steamy shower helps when it happens to her, since my niece is very squirmy, it happens a lot.

Grrr. I hate scam e-mails. We actually got that one a year or so ago from my cousin, who fortunately we called her mother (my aunt) and found out that she had seen my cousin just the day before. Glad everything turned out okay.

I've been trying to keep up with the new season of Futurama, and yes, last night's episode was where I felt like they were finally getting back their charm. Subtle humor instead of some of the over-the-top stuff they'd done lately. Yay?

Eek, suntan lotion in eyes!

I am watching the new Futurama, glad that it's back.
