I think I should just get my Me Ramblings out of the way. First off, I have a new ambition - to have an lol cat. If you haven't been to lolcats.com you have been missing out. Although, I'm not sure which is funnier, the site or the fact that Jeremy (a known cat hater) has been on it for months. When I was asking why everything is misspelled baby talk, Jeremy knew (because cats can't type well, of course). This is one of my favorite lol cats:



I have a plan for my own lol cat. Here's a rough draft:



I need Dexter to pose with his gut hanging off the weight bench more, and then I'll come up with some funny text about exercising. It will come. I'm watching my cats now for other possible lolcat material.

Let see, other ramblings... I think I have chronic fatigue disorder. Not to be confused with chronic wasting disease, which is that mad cow for elks one. Though I'm not sure what the symptoms of CWD are, I could possible have it, too. The past few weeks I have been so tired. I took a nap with Adam yesterday and even went to bed at 9:30. I dunno what's going on but *yawn*.

7:10 Drop off. I managed to drag myself out of bed to greet Ariel.

7:30 Breakfast - yogurt.

After breakfast Ariel and Alex colored. Alex drew confused robots and then wrote his first and last name complete with big and small letters. I was going to post that but then I realized I don't want Alex's last name on the internet, so I just put his first name on. But be assured, he CAN do it.



Here's Ariel's, she ate some of it.



8:45 We got ready to go to stroller exercise class and guess what? My car battery was dead. Again. Argh. And Jeremy, who rode his bike to work all this week, took his car today. So no mall for us, and instead I took a bike ride with the trailer.

First we stopped at varsity pond:



Here's Ariel, not falling into the pond. She's wearing her new tappy-tap shoes from Mae. I put them in the toy box and she found them right away today and put them on. Thanks Mae!





We continued along the bike path and then went to the rocket ship park. I took the long way home by 55th street and was hurting pretty bad on the uphill. That stroller class is brutal. I was so sore from Tuesday's class that I had to put my hand down when I sat on the toilet lest my quads give out. Ariel fell asleep in the trailer for about 30 minutes.

11:00 Got home. Alex had a quick lunch and Ariel had some of his leftover PB&J.

11:15 Left to get Adam, drop off Alex.

11:50 Home again. Ariel had more lunch, some apple blueberry baby food I found in the pantry and some scrambled eggs.

12:30 Put on some Blue's clues while I blogged. Right now in fact. This is a new one that we rented at the grocery store yesterday. I personally am finding it very sweet that my super-hero-star-wars guys are enjoying Blue's Clues again.

Ariel's milestone from Tuesday is now firmly entrenched. All day long it's:

"Juice, Dee-Dee, juice!"

"Help, Dee-Dee, help!"

"Hold you, Dee-Dee, hold you!"

And my favorite:

"Nuk, Dee-Dee, nuk!!!"

I was telling Jeremy about it and he said its sounded like the same demands, but now with a personal touch. I guess it's nice to have a personal touch.

1:00 Put Ariel down for a nap, after changing her 3rd poopy diaper of the day. Then Adam and I took a nap too.

2:30 Woke up and got Alex.

3:00 Got home with an extra kid. Alex's friend Gabriel and his mom Tatiana came over for a playdate. Tatiana is from Brazil and it's very interesting talking with her.

We walked up to the park for a bit and then came home from a snack. Becky met us on the way back at 3:40.
