Am I over-reacting??


Crystal Light...we all know it and love it. Only 5 calories per serving, no caffeine, low in sodium, it's great. And my kids can't tell the difference from the Fruit Punch flavor and Kool-Aid. Another plus. It's lately become a staple at many meals in our home. But Josh has taken our love of Crystal Light to another level. Seriously...I'm concerned and frankly a little embarrassed. It has become his personal mission to try all the different flavors. He comes home from work with those "On-the-Go" packs and can hardly wait to tell me the latest flavor that he's discovered. No joke. He appreciates the simple things like the "On-the-Go" packs for an "On-the-Go" guy like himself. I just recently discovered a stash of "On-the-Go" packs in his car. Seriously like 3-4 boxes of different flavors available at his disposal. He just mixes them up in a water bottle and he's a happy camper. Look, I'm happy he's drinking healthier,but I think it's a little "girly" that he carries those around. I've expressed my concerns about him carrying around his Crystal Light drinks everywhere he goes, but he says he is secure in his manhood and isn't at all worried about it. It's nice he's being health conscience, really, I think it's great, but my feelings are--let's keep it at the dinner table.

I to have boxes hidden in strategic places, mostly so my boys don't take it all. Danny lived on the things while he was in the academy and couldn't stand the water. Over reacting? Probably not, but they are better than soda.

I've been addicted to Crystal light too lately. I used to hate it, but for some reason it taste good to me now. No need to worry about Josh, he's still a man.

Kelly, I hate to say it but I carry them in my car as well. My favorite new flavor is black cherry pomegranate. Don't be a hater just because we like a little variety in our lives since we don't get it anywhere else.
