It's wet!!

Well today it's raining - a lot.  At one point the road and the pavement merged into one giant lake with the cars and vans passing by like little motor boats!  Andrew was mesmerised looking out the window at the rain, it's been a long time since I have seen rain fall like that, it was as if someone switched a hose on over Whitley Bay, was beginning to think I would need to build an ark!

Of course, it would have to decide to have an almost biblical rainfall on the day I need to take Hannah to her swimming lesson via public transport.  Not only that, three guesses who got the bus times wrong......... me.  Instead of being 5 minutes early, we were nearly 20 minutes early - what a nightmare - and I swear the people who were driving past were deliberately trying to score points by splashing me and Hannah, luckily Hannah was shielded by the bus stop and when she sat on the seat was able to lift her feet up and avoid getting further  bsplashed by the water flying through the gap under the bus shelter.  I however, was not so lucky but never mind.

On the plus side though, Hannah had a really good swimming lesson and acquitted herself very well - who knows whether or not she will want to carry on after this term, at the moment she says not.  I just wanted her to get her level 4 but as we have only made it to the beginning of stage 3 and she's saying she wants out then I don't think it's going to happen.  Fingers crossed.

My health visitor Judith came round to check on me, make sure I'm not on my way to the loopy house, was nice to see her and I was honest with her as to how I am and how I have been feeling.  Managed not to cry this time - which is an achievement for me.  Maybe it's because I spent 40 minutes in tears when I went to see the psychologist yesterday!! cried myself dry!  Judith seemed quite pleased to see me and with the progress I'd made.  Andrew was on top form as always - passing Judith all his toys then picking up the fluff off the carpet and giving her that too! Thanks Andrew, was it really necessary to point out to the health visitor (of all people) that I hadn't hoovered the rugs today???  Good job you've got a cheeky smile - even though you didn't let me get much sleep at all last night (I'll let you off though because you're full of cold).
