As we were lying in bed last night, about to go to sleep, there was an almighty crash which scared the beejesus out of me. Sent G to investigate and it turned out that the culprit was the 8ft long rail in my closet collapsing under the weight of my clothes. G insists this is because I have too many clothes, which of course I don't agree with at all. I guess we're going to have to go to IKEA or somewhere to buy some kind of new inside-closet-organiser type thing as the existing thing has ripped itself off the wall.
D has gone on his first 'field trip' with school to a nearby farm. He was *so* excited about it this morning he could barely contain himself. Some of the parents are apparently driving to this place and meeting the children there. We are not doing that, school trips are all about the excitement of going off for the day with your classmates and being independent.... not having your style cramped by your mother!
Once again it's extremely hot outside. Another downside to this heat is having to expose my increasingly large amounts of flesh. Today I have shorts on and it's not a pretty sight. Yesterday after school I put the sprinkler on out the front to a) water the lawn and b) give D something to cool off in. He was having a good time running through the water and then some neighbours kids came over and ended up spoiling it by wrecking the lawn making big mud holes in it and screaming at everyone.
