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