Sweating and Stabbing

So we have had a string of wet days here with cool mornings and warm days and the last two days when I did Natasha's laundry I had to use the dryer to dry it, well this afternoon I done a load of my own washing and when it was done I went outside expecting to throw it in the dryer but it was fine and sunny so hung it on the line and now I have sweat dripping off me.

When I went to hang the washing out I was missing a heap of pegs found them all broken on the ground will be saying something to Leo about that, also I am going to need a new laundry basket as the one I have is breaking also thanks to Leo.

At times Leo can be a destructive little sod, the other day I found him in the laundry stabbing the box I use for the recycling with a streak knife, when I asked him what he was doing he said just stabbing, when asked why he was stabbing he said just feel like it. Took the knife off him and explained that I do not like him to do such things and you can't go around stabbing stuff,his reply well it is just a box not a living thing,he then went on to explain that you cannot stab living things because it would hurt them and they may die and that is wrong but a box is ok because it has no feelings and cannot die. I didn't know how to respond to that other then to say it makes a mess and can destroy something I am still using.

In about 10-15 minutes I will be leaving to go get Leo from school, so may not get this finished and posted till after I get back from doing that he is going home to his house tonight and again tomorrow night but I think Jess has work on Saturday so he will be back here then.

Also I stink from the sweating, good thing I am not going out around people this afternoon, yes I use deodorant every day proper deodorant not that body spray stuff well I use that too with the proper deodorant I think too many people mistake body spray for proper deodorant, just saying.

Back again the thermometer in the car said it was 30°c when I got in it to go get Leo,no wonder I was dripping in sweat, heat and wet weather equals hot and sticky I will be going to have a nice relaxing bath when I am finished this.

Back to Leo and knifes and scissors he has a thing for these items, he takes after his mother when she was a child she had a fascination with knifes and scissors as well. She once stormed into the house into the kitchen crapped a large knife and was starting to leave the house saying “I'll teach the little shit” she was referring to one of the neighbours son who was about the same age as her. I of course stopped her and took the knife off her and told her you cannot go around threatening people with knifes just because they have pissed you off. She thankfully out grew that stage.

Well I am off to have a bath and will be back tomorrow, hope you all have a good night or day depending on when you read this.

  1. Never use spray deodorant always roll on.
    Wonder how the people got on years ago when there were no showers - but I read somewhere where the body adjusts.

    1. I also prefer a roll on, and yeah can't imagine not being able to have a hot shower or bath most days/nights of the week

  2. I love my Secret deodorant. It rocks. My boys had a thing for fire when they were young. I had to keep a close on eye on them. I was so glad when it finally passed.

  3. Hopefully Leo will pass through that stage without incident. Keep one eye open and watching him, though. Things excused in youth become things acted on later.
