OUCH!

I will start with how I forgot how much the first bike ride of the season hurts. Well, not at the time of the ride, but the next day. We took a family ride yesterday. This means I pull the trailer with both girls in it and Tom rides along side of me. Why do I pull the 70lb trailer? I have no idea and let me just say my legs are not so happy today either. It was a nice ride though.

Today I also decided that to begin my "save gas" crusade I biked, pulling the girls in the trailer, to the library. It is only about 1 mile away, but I swear it is a long mile! My butt sure does hurt now. Well perhaps not so much my butt as my "saddle". I will be fine it just takes a little more time riding till I am used to it. So to solve the soreness I have to ride more? Not sure about that solution.

My next OUCH is about my mouth. I though I had made a new friend at B's school and today it might have gone to pot. I am working on a graduation project with another mom, who I like and get along with. She is however much more type A than I am. She has been a big help keeping me on my toes and I'd say doing a lot of the leg work for this project. I thought I was complimenting her today, but later she called to tell me she did not take it as a compliment. I was so taken back. I really don't know if she believed my apology or not. I don't know if I can fix this or how to even. I also really don't know how what I said upset her. I told her how I was so lucky to get paired with her cause I am such a procrastinator and she keeps me on my toes. I swear that is what I said! Really, that is what I said. I don't think I even had a "tone" when I said it. I really meant it as a compliment. So now I am upset for I don't want her to be mad at me or not like me. What a day!

To end on a good note, the weather is great and the girls have been outside all day. I am hoping for early bed times tonight :)
