And the award goes to KEELY
Do you ever have one of those days where you think you're doing everything you need to do but something in the back of your head says, "your missing something!"
It's the middle of June and we've only had 3-4 days that actually feel like summer. So, 2 days ago, when the sun was actually out, I thought about putting sun block on but quickly pushed it out of my mind thinking, I'll do it in a minute.
I went about doing things around the house that needed to get done. I kept checking on the girls thinking sun block but quickly found something else that needed to get done. That's that problem with women, mothers.....or maybe just me? I felt like I needed to be doing everything and missed something that was more important.
In my defense, when Elley gets hurt it always looks worse than it is. I know this sunburn looks bad, and it is, but she hasn't complained about it and has been sleeping just fine. She still gives me bear hugs and lets me tickle her. We put aloe on it about 3-4 times a day. As you can tell, I still have a little mother guilt going on. How could I let this happen? It's my job to protect her! LESSON LEARNED! I now have a tube of sunblock in my purse.....and it goes everywhere with us! Sorry Elley....mommy loves you!

Poor Keely and Elly! Isn't that the worst when you're having fun and you forget the serious stuff? Ah, well. She'll be fine and just remember how great it was to play outside!
Aw, don't be too hard on yourself!!! I do the same thing, I get so carried away with all the little things I need to be doing that I forget the big obvious ones... like heading out for a walk today with Addi without a jacket for her or shoes.. we turned around half way down the block and got them but it was one of those awesome mommy moments...
And I have to say, I LOVE the name Cohen!! That's what we were going to name Addi if she had turned out to be a he :) Cohen Jeffery...
You are just fine! And YES all mom's have about a million things on their minds and do sometimes push out important thoughts! Having three kids is what has sent me over the edge! I feel like I will NEVER be able to take care of EVERY important detail for each of my children to protect them all the time! We all know you love your kids so much and would never do anything to hurt them purposefully! Good thing Elley is a kid and kids forgive so much easier than us adults! I love you Keely!
