I am now a zombie...
Well... I Am very sleepy... we had an AWESOME family trip. I LOOOVE swimming, so I was in Manatee springs swimming against the current for approximately 4 hours... yeah, that's right... got my exercize on! My kids went nuts in the cold water, but they are water babies, so it was great. We had a barbeque (the only smoke I inhaled... hehehe), almost got to pet some deer... literally... they were standing right next to us. We spent the night in an awesome cabin-type shindig and then decided the next day to go tubing down a river instead of just driving home. So... we loaded up the kids again, I fastened all of our still slightly wet swimsuits to various strings on the outside of my van and we drove thirty minutes to the river. The suits were dry and easy to wear by the time we got there... yes... I can be so ghetto (my husband calls it having "good problem solving skills"). We tubed for about an hour. I decided *like a genius* to get out of the boat and swim alongside it for a stint... and couldn't get back in... because, while I stopped smoking, I haven't quite developed upper body strength... gotta eat more spinach or something. So my husband and I took turns putting children in and out of the boat all the way down stream. Once we were at the end, I walked, sopping wet two miles back to the front of the river carrying an 18 month old. Yes... I am Crystal, goddess of smokeless wonder, master of ice cold springs and rivers and extremelly tired right now! Loves to everyone and thanks again sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for all of your fab support. I could seriously never have done it without you... One Month - I'm looking at you... you are mine, B, you are mine.
