I haven't been feeling all that well lately, but that tell that to Alex who won't slow down for a moment. In ways it has been good that she won't because it forces me out of the house and in the sun. We go to the playground a lot where she runs around like the crazy kid that she is for an hour or two. Even though it does exhaust her naps are still a huge struggle these days. So I end up with a tired and cranky kid on my hand.


We've been going to the park that is closer to us partially because it requires less walking but also because I cam easily fade and be anti-social there. I'm less likely to run into somebody I know and the people that go have no interest in making small talk with me.

The kids are sweet though and Alex follows the older ones around like a puppy. She would make such a wonderful little sister. The kids play with her and generally keep an eye on her because they are older and want to act more grownup. I still have to watch her like a hawk but more to keep her from getting into things. I also have to watch the gates as kids tend to go through and leave them open. The kid seems immune to injury.

Today I am going to the other playground as we have lunch plans with a friend that lives around there. Plus I need to get my blood drawn as the lab lost mine.

Hope everybody enjoys their weekend. We want to go somewhere tomorrow but don't know where.
