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?

I’m not evil… I’m just photoshopped that way. Mucking around, as you do, in Photoshop, I managed to make myself look a little like Satan.

I’m not particularly fond of self portraits so, in an effort to overcome that little phobia, I have been trying to take a few each week. I process them to death so it looks nothing like me and VOILA!

Photoshop the great enabler, how I love you so!

I got this for Chelsea about 8 years ago and it still holds a place of honour on her bed. Connor has the same one in blue which also remains to this day, on his bed. Best Christmas present ever!

I must have been drunk or really uninspired to take a self portrait.

As explained in Photo Phriday, I am making an effort to do self portraits in an attempt to overcome my sheer hatred aversion to being caught on film (or disk..or whatever.)
