I am soaked! I only walked a few metres to T and J's school to pick them up but I got drenched! I look like a drowned rat.
Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. When I don't have to go anywhere and can curl up in my duvet and listen to it outside. But when I have to go somewhere, I hate the stuff! We get soggy, my shoes don't dry properly and I feel cold.
I actually prefer the snow - at least you can have fun in the snow, throwing snowballs and making snowpeople.
So hurry up snow please!

Sorry :(
Here we are, on yet another miserable morning. Mondays are not great at the best of times, and the weather just has to make it worse!
I need to apologise. I re-read my last post on here earlier and I felt terrible. It was honest, but maybe I should have thought more about the wording than going off on a rant! Think it could be down to lack of sleep and / or stress.
I mean, our house is busy normally anyway, but we are literally living on top of one another, and it's doing no good. The kids don't even have the space to play some games like they would - and I just want my kitchen back! I haven't been able to cook a proper meal in almost four weeks now, it's ridiculous! Instead of making the most of the glorious weather we had for a few weeks, we were stuck indoors waiting for people to not show up! And that's what irritates me the most! Why can't they call to say they won't be here? It'd take a minute at the most!
I just hope things change this week. Today started off well, the decorator knocked the door at 8.30am. So that's a start!

The strength of smell
We've all been there, haven't we?
This week alone, I've had three separate incidents of wishing I couldn't smell!
The first, sat on the bus going into town. Hot weather + sweaty people = not very nice smells. I know I know, it's a natural thing, but I can not stand the smell of sweat. It really makes me feel sick. I am very conscious of my own scent, and make sure the girls wash and use deodorant before going anywhere!
Another time was while we went swimming on Wednesday. After swimming we were getting changed when I heard someone pass wind. They didn't excuse themselves and the smell that came creeping over and under the door was disgusting. I'd smelt better dogs doings! Heaving, I moved change rooms.
And finally, last night, Baby B was teething really badly. He settles when he's being cuddled so I picked him up from his bouncer chair and he let an almighty one rip! My goodness, I've never heard anything like it before now! And the stench - that's right, it was worse than just a smell! I swear I could even taste it at one point. Yuck!
It made me think back to a fact I had heard a few weeks back.
Moths.
"A male emperor moth can smell a female emperor moth up to 7 miles away."
Wow! Can you imagine smelling someone 7 miles away? I wouldn't want to even contemplate the smells I would smell within a 7 mile radius. Mainly because I live about 200 metres from a farm. The smells coming from there in summer, especially in this lovely heat we've been having, is sometimes unbearable. I have to shut the windows it's that bad!
Shame I don't live with vanilla or blossom growing around me - those smells I love!
What is your favourite smell? And which smells do you not like?
