The problem with fair skin

When you have fair skin you have to deal with certain problems in life. You can't ever go to the beach without 5 gallons of sunscreen. You can't ever wear pink lipstick. When your dog scratches you, you bear those scratches for days. Yellow sweaters must never find their way to your closet. And when you get hives, these are the results. I will spare you the shots of the backs of her legs and the back of her neck. Not pretty.


We had a pretty rough few days, but thankfully they are gone. And I am not minimizing how bad they were, but I know the fair skin makes them look pretty horrific. But don't worry. She got more hugs, kisses, and story time than she knew what to do with. Well, when she wasn't knocked out from the Benadryl that is.
