Can you ride your bike?

Mia has been sick all week. (we don't know what, maybe the flu, or a virus that acts like strep) When she is sick I give her a bell to ring when she needs me (which is often)! She has not had much of an appetite all week until yesterday. She said her tummy thought that a potato sounded yummy! Well that would be easy accept that Tuesday night my car would not start on the way home from yoga so Wes went to get it yesterday and it was the alternator not the battery. So he got my car and brought it home to fix the alternator himself, which is when Mia rings the bell. She informed me that she had some ideas on how to get a potato like; call a neighbor to take me to the store or ride my bike to Walmart ( 4 miles away). I informed her that our neighbor was sick with the flu too and the bike that carries Abbey is broken, the tire is flat. She said we have tons of bikes just pick one to ride. Life is simple when you are sick, just ask and it will be granted. Wes said being sick in our home is a bit too fun!

I'd give anything to see you riding Mia's bike to Wal-Mart with Abbey on the handlebars! She could wear a helmet and hold the potatoes on the way back.

If you really cared, you would...

So sorry that Mia is feeling sick. Sounds like she may be on the mend thought with her creative suggestions for a simple potato! Funny girl!
