Speaker 1 (00:05):
Apodjake Production. Welcome to another episode of am I.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Have Had Mom? Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We constantly asked the same question.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's day in, day out for gift that keeps on
giving our kids. They just twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I had a moment last night of going, oh my god,
it is so noisy in this It's so noisy. The
girls came down for dinner, had dinner, then wanted to
tell us about the whole day, which is great. I'm
so thankful when it's not at eleven pm and we're
telling us all about this. But it was one of
those situations where one was telling a story and then
(00:56):
the other one wanted to get into and then it
was like, no, stop, it's my story, and there's all
this going on, and literally it got to the end
and then someone's put me music on and then someone singing,
and I just went, whoa, it's too loud in here.
I feel like I've just been through a storm.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So loud in here? Why is everyone yelling, especially at
the end of the day too.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I've spoken about this obviously, like you said, eleven pm
at night, these conversations. My girls are not quite at
that extent. But the it is tending to get a
bit later on in the day where I'm getting more conversations.
But then as a parent, your bandwidth has sort of
like run short a little bit. I did set was
doing school pickup and I felt like I was sliding
(01:40):
down into my seat of the car because there was
just so much drama getting thrown around this car between
Gracie and her friends that I do school pickup with.
It was just making me sort of twitch and that
I was trying to hide from it. As I was
driving the car, I was like, this is just too much.
It doesn't get any lighter. There's no days where they
get in the car and it's just like today, it
(02:02):
was such a great day.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Never.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Never, how was your day, Mum, tell me about what
you've been doing. Never. My bad Mum for allowing adults
to behave irresponsibly.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
So usually we debrief, right, we haven't debriefed on this,
so that's what makes me even more excited because I
love the topic.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, we are going to be Mum's gone wild on
the weekend because we have got tickets to strapbreak day
we have at Brisbane Racing Club BRC.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
That's where we're going to be yes all day.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Back in the previous years, when I was getting ready
for the racers, you'd be like, hair.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Done, makeup done.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You'd be swamming around the house having a glass of
bubbles around brunch time before you were headed for the track.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah. Now it's kids sport running quick picks.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Uber's there.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And then I like sort of gave you a text
to go. So this weekend Stradbroke Day, What time am
I aiming for?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So my response to you as to what time you
should aim for was you aim to get there for
ten thirty, and then everybody else will get there for
eleven thirty and hopefully we'll all be there at the
same time. I was reflecting on previous years at the
races because over the years we've done a lot of
race days. It's kind of a brisbee thing. I feel like,
(03:41):
like you go Saturday as you go to the races,
and the winter carnival is probably my favorite. Weather is
usually beautiful, sunny, blue skies, then gets a bit cold
in the evening, but it's great for the like the
guys in suits like I them in summer, So winter
racing carnivals great and Strawbery Day is such a vibe,
(04:04):
like it is always break day. I was reflecting on
a previous year when it kind of was our thing
to invite everybody back after the races, because we normally
had to get back for a babysitter. Let's get rid
of her and pay her off and then everyone come
back to us, and it's like that stop off at
the bottle shop, the uber on the way back, and
(04:26):
then ordering pizzas. I was always very responsible, getting the
kids dinner, getting them showered, and then they'd go to
bed so they were sorted, and then it was adults
and it was just adults gone wild downstairs. And there
was a time where Jay decided it would be fun
to get on the kids trampoline with a guy friend.
(04:49):
Oh good, yeah, so two heavy men, like this was
never in the wind.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You're going to end really well. Two heavy men on
a child friendly trampoline.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yep, yep, in the back garden, in the dark, in
the dark, on the trampoline. Okay, both of them start jumping.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Wonderful, like I've just wanted to be too mad after
a race day.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was so joyful, like they look like they're really
having fun. Next thing, massive thud, crack, the trampoline has
broken in half.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Perfect And so.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Then the next day it was the explaining to the
kids why their trampoline wasn't able to be used because
the night before two drunken idiots had fallen through the trampoline.
Thinking oh, we'll take our way. We really can't take
two hundred kilos. There's only supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
One kid on it.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I was like, yeah, it's only meant to be give
me the reaction to the men though, when the thud
happened on the ground, I would have loved to see
j go through a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like I would have loved There was a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Of fun to be had at the races and after
the races.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Rage.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Last time I went to the races, paid fifteen dollars
outside for a big issue. A fifteen dollars I think,
I said how much five or something, and I went Jay,
get some money out, give her.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Fifteen, Give her fifteen for the big issue. She's like,
what is wrong with this woman?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They must get that lot.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's a great day for
her to be there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I never usually have cash, like in a lamal situation,
I wouldn't have cash on me.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Why not stand outside where the bookies have just handed
your cash all day if you've had.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
A good day to get up on.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I also admire the fashions going into the field, so
there's always fashions on the field, right, And obviously this
weekend again is a weekend where if you're going to
the races, everyone's basically you got something in the cupboard, right,
because as a staple, you've got something black or something white,
and then throw on a touch of red.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
A little bit of lippy.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You're sweet, right, don't even have to go out and
buy a new outfit. But I love watching the fashions
go in to the race day as much as I
love the fashions leaving the race day shoes in hand.
But like, you know, you've put together a beautiful outfit
and then all of a sudden, halfway through the day,
your outfit's sort of like half broken, and you're in
the toilet trying to like repint it or like together,
(07:24):
staple it together, or get someone else to like jam
you in something so that you can hook the eye
of the dress, but the zip won't go.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like I think this weekend's the easiest one to dress for.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I did that with a dress once it did open
at the back, and some lovely girl said, excuse me,
your dress is split at the back, And I did
find a stapler and I did staple it together, and
to this day rate that dress has stables in the
back of it.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I have walked in on someone pinning their friend up
against the wall and they're trying to hook the eye
of the dress in order to try and rejig the
zip to make the zip go back up because she's
gone the toilet and it's a one piece. Oh yeah,
and I'm like, this girl's.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Never gonna we again.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Let's just say it was three quarters through the day,
so there was a lot of back and forth to
the bathrooms already. But all their friends were doing was
just like, no, we will get this zip. You will
stay at the races. You're not going home yet.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, last time I went to the races, it
was really busy at the time I was leaving, and
it was annoying me that I can find Nouba. And
then this taxi to overage. I said, we're just going
down to the restaurant Coort Slight for dinner, and this
TAXI wanted to charge. I think he had fifty dollars
or something. I was like, I'm going down the road
and you're like yeah yeah, And I was like, Okay,
(08:44):
you're not kind.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You're not kind. That's what I'm going to leave it at.
Right now. I've had a full day at the races.
You're not kind. Kind better than what I say. No,
I did.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, I got scooter, E got on scooter.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
My god, girlfriend that put.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
My helme on scootered down. I had so much fun
in heels. Yeah, in heels, Yeah, heels on a.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Scooter, heels on at all times.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I was remarkably balanced in your mind.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Not everyone else on the road. They were all like,
fuck with thisitch. She's all over the shop. You get
your bag on, you get your helmet on, you're riding
a scooter.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Like if you you are so much braver than me.
I absolutely would not have done that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, I'd rather walk.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
No, I am that person. No, so fine, I love
those scooters.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, I can't have told my kids you can't go
on there, so it'd be double standards.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I did think about.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
She'd probably takes your shoes off and hold them. You'd
probably be.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
What's going to be more of a hazard wearing high
heels or carrying them in a hand while you're trying
to like steers?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, half cut.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, so I figured all I do is stand on it.
It's not like I'm riding a bike. It's not like
the heels are on pedals. Like I just had to
stand there.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
What are you doing after this race day this weekend?
You're riding a pushy.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, you've all gone to do but for everybody to leave,
I'm getting on a scooter. What who has the most fun?
And we have a discount code. You'll hear it after
the episode two for one tickets.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'm not even I stress this so much. Black and
white is in everyone's cupboard. Everyone's cupboard black and white.
Everyone's got a little black dress.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And you know so out of the girls is a
group of ten of us and dm.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Us on at the Instagram.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
If you're coming along, because we we'd love to come
and say hello to you. Out of the ten girls
that are coming along, I would say eight are wearing
old dresses that they've got in their wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Are you one of them? Yeah? Okay, I am good.
You won't be I'll be all.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Wearing something really lovely and put everyone into shame.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Oh no, I'm struggling a bit at the moment, Katie.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm struggling, but it's okay. I've still got a couple
more days. Watch this space.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It'll be Saturday morning, kids dropping at sport, picking up
my outfit.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Kids off to DJs in the city. I'll be back
and finish a game, stay at the courts.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'll be back and then I'll just everyone.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
