It's Official- I've Lost My Mind



I've ridden my bike once in the last ten years-on Thanksgiving when we tried to hurry and use the bike trailer we bought for Red Fish and Two Fish's new bike. I've been wanting to bring the bikes out for weeks but every time we plan to ride it rains. So today seemed like the perfect day. Somehow I convinced myself and Two Fish that a six mile, mostly uphill, ride to the park and back, while 5 months pregnant was a great way to break in the bikes. Yeah...that was insane. I can't believe we all made it home alive.

Also on the topic of me going insane- last night I was at the grocery store picking up some last minute things for a mother's day brunch I had to today. I was picking some strawberries out and someone comes up behind me and starts rubbing my belly like crazy. I nearly had a stroke on the spot. I turned around and it was my brother who collapses with laughter. What a punk! My whole head turned red. I thought some weirdo was going to attack me. Luckily it's just a weirdo I'm related to who thinks it's funny to give me a near heart attack.

Haha that was scary about your belly! It seems like people think they can touch all pregnant people and newborns without asking so I understand why that would have freaked you out! Glad it was just your bro!

Speaking of bros, when does your other bro get back? He'll probably think it's weird I am so obsessed with his family, lol! :)

That is an ambitious ride, even for a non pregnant person. Funny story with your brother too. I think I would have a heart attack if that happened to me.

LOVE that bike trailer! Nothing like some outdoor fun- although tell Two fish to remind you that you are pregnant! ;)
Happy Mother's Day!

Wow, you are crazy. I would have gone on the bike to the park and back. Your brother sounds funny.
