Birthdays Galore

3 birthdays in 10 days.

Paige's birthday was Tuesday (turned 10). Got a boatload of goodies. I took her tenpin bowling in the afternoon which was fun.

Jessica's birthday was Wednesday (turned 2). Got a massive swag of things. Ang took her and the other girls off to Traralgon fun centre in the arvo. I stayed home. They had fun.

I worked Monday, Tuesday, Friday lunch, Friday night and again last night (Saturday). Total of 19.5 hours for the week. I was buggered on Friday night and the even worse last night. Lack of sleep and cricket yesterday make the nights awfully long and tiresome. Especially after 9PM when things start to die down in the shop.

Cricket yesterday at Thorpdale. They were last years Premiers. We destroyed them by 180 odd runs. We batted first and made 226 off 47 overs. Jez (53), Judda (43), Duane (45no) and myself(34 in about 24 balls) all got some runs to start the year. We then bowled them out for 40 odd. They did have 4 young kids playing and we pretty much had a full strength team. Bodes well for the season. One weak link I can see is our 1st and 2nd change bowlers. Nowhere as good as last year.

Apart from that it has been awfully hectic the last week or so. Ang and myself are pretty run down yet somehow still manage to run the house and stay happy.

The billy lids go back to school this week as well. School holidays are extremely punishing on parents.
