Taking out the twins!

Yesterday was the first time I have been able to hang out in my backyard alone.

Alone is important in this situation because freak that I am, I like to indulge in a little nude sunbathing. I have to wait for a perfect day... sunny, warm, during the week so that the neighbors are unlikely to be home on the off-chance that someone can strain their necks enough to see me and lastly, that the kids are not home. The kids have seen me naked before.. such is the life of a mom. There is no privacy for me, not when I might be required to break up an argument while I am in the tub. However the kids do tend to freak out if I am nude someplace they consider inappropriate... the living room, the backyard, their grandparents pool.... And they are not content to keep their distress to themselves. They become screeching banshees announcing my "shame" .

I started slow... only 20 minutes... Can't afford to scorch such pale, delicate skin... ahhh but it felt so good. The warm sun, the gentle breeze and my bare skin! Paradise!
