I’m really starting to hate my husbands other wife…

Yesterday, I had a conversation with Brian that went as follows…

Me: When is Australia day?

Brian: *Gives me disappointed look for not knowing the date*

Me: *Exasperated that he thinks after 5 years I don’t know* Not the date! The day of the week!

Brian: Oh. Monday I think.

Me: That’s good! Maybe I’ll take off the Friday before and we can take the kids camping for the weekend!

Brian: *Sputtering* But… I have cricket that weekend.

Me: Oh.

Brian: It’s the Darlington social game too.

Me: Oh. That weekend, huh?

Brian: *Talking as if I should remember pertinent cricket dates like wedding anniversaries* Yes. It’s always that weekend.

Me: Oh.

So after stewing for a while on my expectedly BORING Australia day weekend as Hubby plays with his mates and socializes his butt off, which incedentally, resembles pretty much every weekend all summer long, I decided that I should make plans to take the kids somewhere that weekend… like Dunsborough or Rottnest. The only problems with that?

The kids.

The only thing worse that being bored, is being annoyed by a hubby who would rather be playing cricket anybody really kids who are bored.

So. Any suggestions for what to do on Australia Day weekend?
