The strangest look

I walked with the boys, today, in the Jr. Rose Festival Parade. I walked mostly with the first grade (they personified the solar system and make costumes to accompany) and was decorated with a red, star, glitter garland. It took an hour for us to even start the parade and then we had to walk the 1.5 miles to the end (Ben and I estimated my walk at 3.5 mi. 'Cause I dropped the kids off then parked the car at the end of the route). Oh yeah. In ninety degree heat I might add.

Let's just say, when we were done.....we were DONE! I had 5 children in my charge on the 10 block walk to the truck and we were sooooo tired and there was sooooo much traffic; I was nervous. I kept looking back and making sure they were all there. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. *sigh* They're all there!

I unlocked the vehicle, got the kids and gear inside, unrolled the windows and started to drive back to school. Twice, on our route home, I was a bit ruffled and asked fellow motorists for direction. They graciously and politely gave it to me.....but with a critical eye. I wondered why they would be reacting to me that way. Haven't others asked them for reassurance while driving? Anyway, we got back to school, dropped the two off and started our journey home. As we pull into our drive I spotted our neighbors. I wave, smile and say 'hi'. He too looks at me strangely. I'm so tired I don't' even care at this point and trudge up the stairs.

In our entry there is a mirror next to the front door. As I pass over the thresh hold, I catch a glimpse of myself in it. Oh dear. I'd forgotten the glittery star spangled thingy on my head! No wonder others reacted the way they did! Oh well.

This burn was acquired on my 50 min., 4.5 mi. walk on Monday.

It was just aggravated today. Yes, yes. I wore sun screen.
