This afternoon I got into the pool and it was freezing. Perseverance is your friend when it comes to pool water, however, and within ten minutes I was very comfortable in the water. They boys ditched me shortly after that to play with water guns so I tossed one of their inflatable pool toys, a crab, in with me and laid belly down on it. Then? I fell asleep.

I was, and still am very confidant that sleeping on an inflatable crab is a safe way to pass a hot afternoon, but after commenting on a blog about how I had spent the afternoon, I was informed it was not safe at all.

So maybe I should go and get some cheap term life insurance, so that when I fall off the crab and somehow do not wake up from the freezing cold water going over my face and I die, the kids and hubs will be taken care of.

Or, better yet, Next time I nap in the pool I will use the inflatable elephant!
