Honestly, your goggle fog up and all you can see is a blurry black line dividing the lane. All you have to do is keep to one side of it. Half the time, my eyes are closed.

Do you spit in your goggles? They're not supposed to fog!

kat, how is your dad doing, now? How about your mom? I'm glad you like Miss Grace's new nurse. I don't suppose you can get him to go with you and the twins to watch out for your dad.

My dad is okay. We are trying to figure out how to get me to Ohio with a kid, preferably Grace but possibly Noah and possibly involving a 2400 mile road trip before August 18. Because on the 18th my mom leaves for a road trip with my sister and my niece to drop my niece off at Northern Arizona for college.

Road trip is harder and easier because I will need a car in Ohio and I will need medical equipment that is too hard to fly if I take Grace. ARGH.

Did I also mention there is a second complication of a Krav Level II test on 8/21. FML.

In other news, I was and am totally a water kid. I LOVE the water. But the only pool time I've gotten this year has been Noah's swim lessons.

Oh, Kat. That's complicated and stressful. As if you need more of that! I hope your dad continues to be okay, too.

yep. complicated for sure. and made worse because I'm 100% certain my dad would be pissed if he knew I felt like I needed to dadsit him.

I just can't decide if I should fly out alone or if I should take a kid which will make it almost $1000 to go. Which I don't have. Taking Noah would mean him not starting preschool for 3 weeks, thus saving us $433, equivalent almost to a ticket for him to Ohio.

Whatev. Cannot make a decision right now.

Ugh, those kinds of decisions suck ass. And not in the good way.

The Chinese food we had tonight was outstanding, but my stomach is very adamant that it was Too Much, No Kidding.

Uhg, that's serious complications.

Sara, if you can't do flip turns, what do you do when you do your many laps? Just turn around?

I flip over to my backside when I'm about to hit wall on the last stroke and tuck my feet under and back ( I do crawl.) It's like an upwards flipturn.

bon, my goggles were fogless for about 3 months. And now they aren't. What's this about spit? I have a spare pair, but won't break them out until these actually leak. I'm swimming an hour plus, daily. Pool may be 80, but I am still probably sweating, and now I get about 10 laps in before everything is just a blurry mess.

Spit in your goggles and rub it around. It's pretty good at preventing the fogging.

Spit defogs goggles. The chemical defogger is just fake spit.

Child labor spit.

Ms Belle, I'm still around if you want to e your resume. Profile addy's good.
