Simple Things

Earlier in the week, KK had asked me if I would be willing to ride bikes to school. It's only about three blocks. But it is entirely uphill. And that's no lie!

I put her off, it was a workday and I needed to get on to my job, but Friday would be a day we could probably do it. The weather was holding pretty good.

But she forgot, and I forgot. I got dressed for my day. I got all cute! I put on a skirt, I was ready to go. And with five minutes before we left for the bus she said "but mama you promised!"

I walked around mothering for the next five minutes changing my clothes, changing my shoes, and swearing I did not want to do this.

I got my bike out, the tires were flat. So I got out my husband's bike and put on a happy face. Not five seconds in our journey "mama this is so awesome, thank you so much for doing it!"

Funny how God works, and so often through my children, to tell me to chill out, that things will be fine and that the memory will be worth it. And just look at her smile in the end!
