Time out today

Today we vacated the area for the Royal Melbourne Show. We thought that the kids needed a break and some fun. Although Hannah has a cold, she managed quite well. She is coughing and spluttering tonight. The ventolin is on standby!

I have to admit I felt really angry when we saw the City of Casey bus in the carpark. I know it was probably being used for a program, but a part of me wanted to dent that bus! How can they be at the show having fun, while we still don't know where we are heading? That's how I felt, it's irrational and not fair at all, but it was there.

The kids went on rides, Hannah saw twin lambs being born, which she thought was 'gross'. We spent a lot on showbags, probably more than normal as we are feeling guilty that they have been so stressed. So when Hannah couldn't decide between two, I bought them both! When Jaiden really wanted the 150 year AFL football, I bought it. Who cares anymore, really we live in an area where there is methane that can blow up, what's an extra showbag in the scheme of things?
