Haiku



Sunburn
Bright red blistered skin
Like molten lava burning
Agonizing Pain.

This is my shoulder...aka a roasted piece of burning flesh! Mom saved my bacon (no pun intended) by performing surgery and popping the worst of the blisters. A Mother's love is unconditional, apparently!

That would be me! I took the boys to the Brigham City pool with Shane, Leash, and their kids on Saturday. Of course, I slathered everyone up. I let Dixon spray my back and that is why I am blaming him for this horrible situation that I am in! This might be worse than anything childbirth related that I have ever experienced...well, it's similar but not quite!

Do you remember that time at the truckstop family reunion when I got toasted like a lobster? 3rd degree sunburns! I was barfing and couldnt wear a bra for weeks! The sun was not my friend this week end either, but it sounds like I faired better thatn you. The bad thing is that even little tiny burns hurt like sin. I truely enjoyed the poem.

I remember the jake breaks and semis pulling in and out at all hours of the night, not to mention the freeway traffic whizzing by all night, and the 900 degree cement, and the pool the size of a postage stamp, and...well, you get my drift! How about we just send the now folks to experience it by themselves and we do something nice and shady!

I remember how we followed the shade around that tiny pool all day. It seemed like we moved in unison like glob of jelly fish. No other "guests" even dared to invade our space. I also recall that when I walked by Willis's room he was on top of his bed with the door wide open, in all his garmented glory.

now when I posted my comment there was now picture, with that said here is my two cents.... I remember the gummy bears being thrown in to the pool and "fishies" swimming after them. I was almost drowned, and I am sure others were as well. Another memory I have is... Aimee (?) and my self were sent out with grandma driving her car. the whole way we could only use the air conditioner on the down hills to "save on gas". We made it to the truck stop and thought dad was folowing right behind, well you know my dad, he dicided to take mike and dale on the senic route needles to say we lost weight because of swetting so much. The only thing keeping us from jumping in the pool fully clothed was grandma threatening us. like 4 hours later here comes dad with our luggage. Aunt Sharrie, we have so many picture of dad in his garments it isent even funny!
