So PGG says she is being teased because of her tummy. Ok, I can relate. So lets talk about food choices and being active. She is NOT my sports girl. She would rather do an art project then get all hot and sweaty. We had to talk about that too.
So we decide, fruit and veggie snacks and I run off to get a ton of fruits and veggies Tuesday. I also had the bright idea of going on a bike ride with the girls after school yesterday.
I used to bike when I was a teenager. Like 27 miles to the beach and back via the flood control channel. Somewhere along the line from there I would keep falling off my bike and decided I hate biking. Well I have a bike but I decided to drag Menji's old bike down and not use mine.
That was the BIGGEST mistake of my life....
See our neighborhood goes slightly downhill. I was great on the way to the other side of the neighborhood. Really. My butt was hurting a little from the seat but other then that I was keeping up and hanging in there. When it was time to turn around, I thought I was gonna die. Why is it that what must go down must also head up. The next home I by will be in the flattest part of town.
Really.
The girls are way ahead of me at one point. PS circles back to find out where her old mom is. I am trying to just keep going. My butt is on fire, the bike seems not to be moving forward and I want to throw down the bike and cry. I can not do any of that in front of the girls. So I send them off and tell them I will catch up but head toward home and I will be there.
I think they got there 20 minutes before me. I had to stop at one point to breathe. Sheesh. That and my aching butt. When I rounded the corner and was almost home, I was done. SO done, I walked the bike home. PS could finally see me and she is standing there will a glass of ice water and take the bike.
She was trying not to laugh. That brat.
Later last night I went to take a bath and I swear my butt was on fire. I sat in the tub for at least 30 minutes. Then I made it to bed and passed out.
I just want you all to know that I am standing at work today.

That is so funny! Now I have another reason not to get on a bike again.
