Things I learned this week...

1. Do not take your children for a walk in the stroller when rain is possible. I think it was Monday afternoon when both the boys were up from a nap by 3 when they had gone down at 2. Knowing that we had several more hours till daddy arrived home and no plans mommy thought it would be good to get out of the house and go on a walk. I should of listened to Holly not long before our walk when she said it looked like it was getting ready to pour at her house. But she's in north Charlotte and I saw sunny skies outside and for some reason thought it wasn't heading this way. About 15 minutes into our walk it starts to look a little dark. Of course we are 15 minutes from home. So I immediately start heading back as the sky becomes darker and darker. I start to run, however pushing 60 lbs in a double jogger up the hills in our neighborhood is not the easiest of tasks. Then the rain starts. It goes from nothing to a downpour. We are SOAKED in seconds and still about 10 minutes from home. Thank goodness I took my cell because I call Sarah to call Shelly because I don't know her number but we are close to her house and I'm hoping for shelter. Shelly was home and welcomed us with towels and dry clothes. I was impressed, she has two girls and managed to find us 'gender neutral clothes.' Probaly ten minutes later the sun was out again, weird day.

2. Do not store Shout beside a Tilex bottle. I keep the Shout upstairs under our bathroom sink to spray the stains on every article of clothing worn by the boys and usually me that day. I had a new top come out of the dryer the other day with huge bleach spots all over it. I remember it having stains and me spraying it but couldn't figure out where all the bleach came from. Until...the next night when I start spraying some of my favorite pants and start smelling a strong cleaning smell. I look at the bottle and I have just sprayed them with TILEX!!
