Hi everyone. I wrote a while back about "commuting and very tired". Things have been improving slowly as my appetite decreases (along with my waistline) and I get adjusted to our daily routine. I bike the kids to and from school every day; it's only four miles each way (16 total per day), but it's between 72 and 112 pounds of dead weight behind me depending on leg of the ride. It's been a challenge, but so far so good!

A couple of days ago I received our second trailer, a sidecar, to keep the kids from killing each other in the double trailer. They're not comfortable all smooshed back there anyways (28 and 40 pounds are my monsters), and since we started riding with the two trailers the screaming has stopped (yay!). I also feel that we're much more visible on the road and that that increases safety.

Anyways, we're quite a spectacle, so I thought I'd share the madness with this forum. My family getting rid of our second car is part of a project I've been working on called "Mama Does Good". For more info, see the blog listed below. Hopefully the image will post...

Cheers!
