As we go through life's adventures, I often feel like I am Sew Running Around! Welcome to our journey and to my thoughts on everything from sewing, to homeschooling our four children, to our grand adventures!

Crispy "Chikn" Legs
Poor Poor Professor. After 12 years of marriage, one would think a husband would take his wife's advice. Nope. I practically had to tackle my husband on the playing field to get him to paste some natural sunscreen on. I knew that even after a few minutes of being in the sun, he would begin to burn. (We enjoyed a nice picnic with dear friends on Labor Day) Professor did relent, and let me put some on his face and neck, but he neglected his arms and legs. And I had to pay for it! Last night was one of the worst nights for us - it felt like we had a newborn baby! Professor has sun-poisoning! He went to bed 2 hours before we normally do, and had the blankets piled on like it was December! He came down with major chills. This morning he woke up with a massive headache and nausea. I didn't see the extent of his burn until he came home tonight. It usually takes him 24 hours to finish burning after the sun exposure. Professor is all Irish - 100%, and is very fair, as is our daughter. So how do you know if a burn turns to sun-poisoning? Here are some pointers: 1. Skin redness and blistering 2. Pain and tingling 3. Swelling 4. Headache 5. Fever and chills 6. Nausea 7. Dizziness 8. Dehydration
I will have him drinking a ton tonight, because I know he probably didn't stop to drink a drop today at work. His water bottle was broke and hasn't replaced it. This might be a good time!
And no, he is not wearing socks.
