Goodbye footy season, hello cricket season. There goes my whole Saturday again. The mornings off has been nice and I've thoroughly enjoyed it, but alas, they're gone now. Saturday afternoons are touch football in Wagga and today Carly has to play two games, so we'll be there until 6pm tonight.
I signed Alex up for cricket this morning and today we're off to Wagga to pick up a cricket set that I put on lay-by a couple of weeks ago. There's no helmet in the set, and of course, he wants one. I hate taking the kids to Wagga because they hound me to buy them everything they see. With Christmas coming the purse strings have drawn tight. I've put my name down to help out either with the canteen or scoring and that should make the mornings less boring. I'm not the greatest cricket fan, but if it keeps the kids off the street then it's the way to go.
I have less than a year now to give up smoking, I promised the kids I'd give up before I turn 50. The count-down has begun.
