My Bikie Gang
Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 12:40PM I planned to get to bed early last night and write. It didn't happen.
Once I got both kids into bed, the house tidied, Ella's lunch made for the next day & the kitchen cleaned it was already fairly late. I then went on a scrubbing mission with a brush and a bucket of bleach. I cleaned {with a lot of muscle let me tell you - it was a good workout} most of the tiles gaps/grout in the kitchen and near the laundry. I kind of hated knowing Chris was inside a plane somewhere over the ocean, many many miles from home. I felt so unsettled and was just hanging out for the "I landed safely" text which was still a good 10hours away!
Anyways, I scrubbed and scrubbed and then settled in with a cup of tea and good intentions to write. Another hour or so later {and several resettling sessions with Ryder} I got sidetracked reading blogs and websites and Facebook. At around 10:30pm, I realised no good writing was going to come from me and headed up to bed to watch trashy TV shows, like; Kendra, old Glee episodes and The Real Housewives. Ryder came into bed with me around midnight and I curled up with him, finally drifting off to sleep.
Chris's text arrived this morning. He was safe and well, and already off to meet business associates in California. I could breathe easier once that text landed in my message box!
Today could begin.
******************************
Rewinding back to yesterday.....after school, I promised Ella and Ryder we'd go bikeriding.
So we did.



Winter is definitely on it's way. Although Ella insists she can't feel it - Ryder and I were both rugged up. However, the sun was still shining and the sky had a magnificent blueness to it.
A gorgeous evening to be out.



We only just got this bike for Ryder on the weekend. A friend was given it as a gift - however didn't need it as they already had one for their child. It was still new in the box....so $40 later...it was ours. Ryder loves it.
Another way to get out and about with my kidlets. And the local concrete reservoir is always a wonderful way to get some fresh air, burn off some energy as well as a great, flat place to ride bikes.

And explore.....
Check out this week's forehead bruise :( Another stack on concrete on Sunday. I'm thinking about keeping that helmet on him ALL THE TIME!!!Ryder had a huge meltdown when I said we were leaving - getting him into the car was no easy feat. But a quick stop at the local park for a bit of wallaby spotting and swinging, softened the blow!
A lovely afternoon really.
Happy Monday All.
