Last week I think we had one whole day where it wasn't tipping it down!
I didn't used to mind rain, sure I didn't love it but it didn't bother me half as much as it does now.
When you have a baby, everything takes longer - you can't just run to your car and drive off with just a few drops of rain on you.
The getting into the car routine of a parent is a bit more like this:
- remove baby from pushchair.
- unload humungous amount of shopping bags from pushchair after it has tipped over due to baby being removed and no longer counter-balancing the weight.
- fold up pushchair (depending on make and model time and amounts of cursing varies).
- forget where keys are.
- find keys.
- get in car.
- remember you've left your ticket to get out of the carpark in the boot. *
- retrieve ticket.
- get back in car.
- calm down crying baby.
- drive home!
Anyway, as you can probably tell- having a baby has really made me dislike the rain!!
On a more serious note; worryingly our part of the UK has had severe weather warnings and quite a few places near me have had floods. The road next to my mum's was even on BBC news.
So if you have been affected by this horrible rain then please take care out there! Let's hope it disappears very soon!
