I worked my Saturday out to pretty much to the minute, cancelled all of my usual commitments to try and enjoy life for a bit instead of merely just existing and working.

Lad gets home from training last night and says "I'm playing A's again, I'm starting on the HBF", I should've been more supportive than I was.

I don't play cricket anymore because I umpire a few games of footy every Saturday during the winter so I like to have my own leisure time during summer, he decided to play cricket this season so my Saturday's were consumed all summer, now it appears as though my whole Saturday's will be for the remainder of the winter, and I'll have to resign from an umpire coaching role that I have.

Selfish much, yes, I'm getting older and don't do a lot so I was looking forward to getting a rare afternoon and evening to let loose.

I keep telling myself, "I won't get this time with my kid(s) back". So enjoy mate. Others aren't so lucky.

Junior isn't playing grass hoppers mate, he's playing A grade footy, if you're there to watch him then that's great but you've done a mountain of work to get him to this age, to this level, he can cope without you. Would he miss you? He would. Would you miss watching him? You would. Would you both cope if you chose to look after yourself? I bet he'd love it if you did.

My boy works in the deli section, he would agree. What about the chatty checkout operators who hold up the lines, there's 2 at Coles Pt Adelaide I avoid like the plague. I'm all for your standard pleasantries and a bit of chat but not at the expense of stopping the production line.

Same with duty free on the way back in when you're trying to beat 2,000 other passengers to the front door.

Did you have a nice flight?
