I can't hear you..lalalalalalalalala
Took a short VaCa just a couple of get away days. Went to the water park. There is something about walking around in your swimsuit for hours at a time that is strangely freeing. We all had a great time and I think I found a great place for a just me long week end get away when I get around to it.
Hubster got sunburned on the top of his head and his calves. He's strange at times because his sunscreening has some how become MY responsibility. So we are in our room getting ready for dinner and he just looks at me. Of course I just look at him in return cause this nappy sista was drained and HUNGRY and I wasn't about to play a guessing game. Then he turns to me in all seriousness and says "WE forgot to put lotion on my scalp and my calves." I looked at him like he was drinking liquid crack. I then asked him how long he had been white and how HE could forget those places? I mean damn I use sunscreen on my face everyday, but I do have some natural protection. WE didn't forget anything. I been a dark brown all my life. Sunscreen is not my first and last thought ya know? If WE forgot to cover those places why is HE the only one who got burned...hmmmmmm?
The ride home was a strange one. I blocked them all out with my headphones. I'm getting really bad about that. I use my iPod when doing chores when I walk the neighborhood when I'm at the grocery store...just whenever I need an escape. The strangest thing of all is it really isn't an escape. Being alone with rhythmic words in my head causes me to think about just about everything under the sun. Makes me sad makes me laugh makes me angry, but I like it.
Trying to stay away from private pity parties. You can be unhappy but know you are blessed. I will find my happiness from within. I only need to find what makes me happy. Now THAT is no simple task.
