there's not weather in California...

So I have the kids figured out, but what I have not figured out is the weather... we don't quite get along yet. It has been so nice, up until Thursday night when it started to rain. When I woke up Friday it wasn't bad, just some light sprinkles - I thought, "I can handle this." So, I decided to bike to lunch. Just like in the movies, as soon as I got to the end of my street, there was a booming crack of lightening and thunder and then a sudden downpour. I kid you not. (Mind you I am wearing cotton leggings, and cheap flats from Target.) I did not turn back, and continued into town - I was instantly wet I figured it couldn't get worse. It got even more Hollywood when I was locking my bike and it began to hail. In town, I compared my outfit to everyone that I saw, all the Germans so practically dressed. When I got back home (soaked), I was talked to my au pair mom (Anna) and we decided we would look through my clothes, and see what I should purchase and for her to teach me how to properly dress.
