Oh Noah! Not again!

Well, we didn’t win on the lottery last night, thought id just tell you that.

Mum dropped through this morning on her way home from her weekend in Edinburgh, she stayed about an hour then went through to Billy’s on her way back home.

Billy and Lynn came over for a visit with Liam this afternoon. We got the weans outside with their toys, although it wasn’t sunshine, it was quite warm, until the rain came. It started off quiet nicely, just a light drizzle, so we headed back inside. I had to go to the shop for milk so I got my hooded jacket on, I was alright for this wee shower. Halfway down the stairs I heard Steven shouting something like “you cant go out in that”, but I was brave and took hold of the door handle. When I opened the door the noise hit me first, it was PELTING with rain, so much so that I froze and said… ”fuck!” About I turned to go back up the stairs. A’m no goan oot in that! It was the same as yesterday, absolutely teaming down! After about 5 mins it started to go off a bit, so I got Murray and off we went.
We were about 5 steps away from the shop when I saw the lightning then straight away was a massive BANG!!! Loud as fuck!!! I even got such a fright I jumped! All the lights were out in the shop and the tills were off, but I did manage to get what I needed, and pay tomorrow. Got home and that’s when it really started. It was WORSE than yesterday, (and that’s saying something) it was like it was all coming down at the same time, not any drops of rain, more like puddles of rain falling from the sky. Meanwhile, the thunder and lightning are at it big time. Then the hailstones came on and the whole place was almost white. I had rivers and lakes outside my house, the park was turning into the sea, I’ve never seen anything like it! So exciting!
That’s me back again, I just got kicked off the pc cos Kai’s xbox was broke and it was that lightning that did it! I just overheard Steven on the phone to his dad and he was saying to him that it was frightening! Torrential wasn’t the word for it! And he was waiting for Noah to come floating down the street! I love thunder storms.

While I was waiting for the computer back I was ironing my clothes for going back to work tomorrow, and I was thinking to myself that it wont be to bad. If I was to take all the maternity leave off it would be much harder to go back. One thing that im dreading is I feel really fat. I stopped my last diet at Easter time when all the chocolate was about. I was doing really well then too. This time im going for the exercise and get into it. I really HAVE to do it. ‘Keep thinking positive thoughts Louise.’ I have to dress up for work so I can eventually get out of these jeans! That’s all ive wore, straight leg, boot cut and ankle brushers. So if im getting dressed up for my work, ill want to look better so maybe this will encourage me to keep it up. Ive got loads of clothes ive kept for when im slim again and I want to be wearing them. Christmas time and ill fit into them again, I HAVE to. That Easters got a lot to answer for!

(sorry for swearing mum but i had to)
