Cheer, cheer the red and the white ...

It's September … and in this house of football tragics that means the excitement of football finals.

Despite having been banned from attending any games earlier in the season … due to the uncanny coincidence that had the Sydney Swans losing every time I was there … I donned my lucky red shoes last Friday and headed off to the game.

Did I ever mention that once I stopped going to the games the Swans won 12 straight?? Just a coincidence I'm sure!?!?

But last Friday it was the Preliminary Final … and the winner would be straight into the Grand Final … so I took the chance that the power of my lucky red shoes was greater than the power of my jinxy hex and off I went.

And they won … easily.

So now ... the little issue of the Grand Final … which is held in Melbourne … which is a long way from home on the New South Wales Central Coast. And let's not forget that Hubby has only just returned from three weeks overseas … where he went through a lot of money … and Grand Final tickets are EXPENSIVE.

But as I suspected all these "minor" issues are quickly forgotten by Hubby when his team is in the GRAND FINAL.

Tickets were sought … and obtained … the credit card is heaving under the weight … and we have a weekend road trip to ~~endure~~ enjoy!

Winners will be grinners … but it's going to be a loooooong trip home if we lose!!

News Update ...

It's official … I'm a slack blogger!

But let me take this opportunity to play a little bit of catch up.

Hubby left for New York … WITHOUT ME … spent three weeks there …WITHOUT ME ... and then came back … surprisingly without me.

He's been complaining and moaning about tiredness and jet lag ever since ... but I think he needs to suck it up … because he spent three weeks in New York … WITHOUT ME!!

Buster got hairier and hairier …

Until I finally took him to a groomer and got it all cut off … well except for that bit on his right ear.

Master 17 had his yearly exams … which he didn't stress about at all … which as usual stressed me greatly! We await the results with baited breath!

In other Master 17 news … something wonderful happened … something amazing … something that made me the proudest mother of all time!

He was offered the position of 2015 School Captain!!!

Which he enthusiastically accepted … of course.

Where he gets his motivation, drive and initiative is a mystery … because it's basically the opposite of me … but I'm incredibly grateful and proud.
