Friday
Gotta mention this site Whitcoulls where they have a competion going at the moment where you tell them you 3 favourite books and they will send you a 50% off voucher for another book. Awesome, valid until 14 June - go and vote! Thanks Mel for alerting me to this :-)
It really makes me wonder why I bother with kids sports sometimes. We went to hockey for Nick and Tommy tonight, Nick played for the first 10minutes and then walked off when the opposition scored their second goal - absolutely no persuading him to get back on the field, especially with everyone watching me! Tommy got to play the last 5 minutes of the second half and the first 10minutes of the second half. For that, I sat in the freezing wind and rain for an hour! Not impressed. I really feel like washing and handing back their uniforms - maybe after a decent nights sleep I will change my mind.
We are heading down to Auckland tomorrow for a bit of retail therapy, visit Mum for Mothers Day and to stay in a hotel for the night - Spencer on Byron - they have an awesomely huge spa pool. We had booked to come and stay here the Sunday night after the V8s were at Pukekohe. We had a change of plan though and change the booking to coincide with Andy's birthday which is the Monday. Unfortunately (or not) we forgot about Mothers Day, so I guess I will wake up in the lap of luxury on Sunday morning - bummer!
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mums out there and catch you again on Monday.
And I totally agree with your frustration at kids not getting court time - used to drive me nuts when Cait played touch and she'd get about 10 minutes a game. She was a crap player but they were 9 year olds - how do they learn? Quietly convinced to her to try another sport - karate, tennis, netball - they don't substitute!! (Comment this)
