Lola is doing great. She went 9 hours last night. I feed her at 7:30 and she cries her head off in bed until 8:30 or 9. Then she usually sleeps until about 4. This morning she woke at 4:30. It takes me a while to get back to sleep, so I was just dozing off around 5:30 when Claire turned on her bedroom light looking for her shoes? Ya. The next thing we know Kate is screaming at Claire to go back to sleep, and then all the big girls are awake, jabbering and stomping their way down the hall to potty together. It was maddening and sweet at the same time. I almost got up on the wrong side of the bed, but then I heard Claire encouraging Kate to take off her diaper and try to potty. At the same time that I wanted to scream "NO, I don't want to clean up pee this morning, I just want to stay in bed!" They were darn sweet, so I went and put a diaper on Kate and listened to her saying, "I fiiiink my mommy and my daddy are my peerants."

If you want a killer workout and arms like Kelly Rippa, get some Physique 57 with Tanya Becker. I've done her 57 minute video a few times and my legs, arms, and abs are shaky for a few hours afterward. She's fun too though. Not half as annoying as Denise Austin.

I've struggled enough with a crocheting project lately that I finally decided to get a group of girls together so that we can assist each other in our crocheting struggles. If only I spoke the crocheting language, I think I could do anything. Hopefully my professional crocheting friend can help me out. And what a great excuse to get together with a bunch of girls to eat cake, drink decaf and chat for a few hours while our husbands fight the evening battle of getting the kids into bed. What good men they are. :)
