TITLE: TIFU by getting a severe sunburn and ruining plans I've had scheduled for 6 months
POST: So obligatory this didn't happen today, but on saturday.   A little back story first, in August of 2015 I found the artist that I wanted to do a watercolor tattoo to honor my grandmother's passing.  I submitted a request for an appointment and was put in the wait list until she started booking appointments again.  In January I heard back from her and the earliest she could fit me in was june.

So fast forward to this past Saturday  (6 days away from my tattoo appointment) and I decided that it would be a fantastic day to take my son to a waterfront festival and spend time with my mom as she is moving across country on Tuesday.  It was a great time, he played in one of those child sized hampster balls, he made a wooden boat, got his face painted... the works.  I realized my error early on that I had forgotten sunscreen and being a mother my initial instinct was to shield my son from the sun, with my own body.  

I am such an idiot.  I'm a fair skinned red head, and I KNOW the sun and I do not get along.  So now, I have a SEVERE sunburn complete with blisters.  And now I'll need to reschedule my appointment that I have been waiting almost a year for.  Oh and my son? Yeah he tans, so any sun he did get on saturday just added to his brown-ness. Meanwhile I look like a lobster and can't move.
TL;DR: 
scheduled a tattoo appointment 6 months out (been waiting almost a year) and ruined my plans by getting the worst sunburn I've ever had, less than a week before I'm supposed to go under the needle.
