What a conundrum!! Your child has made the State team and has to go to a competition interstate for 5 days. Only problem is……said child can't make it from the kitchen to the front door without losing something *sigh*!!!!!! What to do?? Well if you are anything like me, you arm yourself with snap lock bags in every size you can get and a permanent marker and get to work…...
Firstly I had to clean out the bag. Oh the horror. How many shockies and tennis balls does one boy need? On the bright side, I did find $3:50 in change rattling around in the bottom so that was a bonus.
Now you are probably wondering why everything is in snap lock bags? Well there are two reasons. Firstly, a leaky drink bottle can be a bit of a disaster. Secondly, our household will never forget the rotten banana soup incident of 2014…………and 2015………. The weird thing is this child does not like or ever eat bananas so I have no idea why they were in his bag in the first place. I did lose my sh*t after the 2015 incident and refused to clean the bag at all. Instead I made him throw it in the bin and go without until he had earned the money to buy a new one.
We have now ticked everything off the tennis bag checklist. We sat together and packed it so he saw everything go in….and now all I can do is sit back and keep my fingers crossed.
We leave for Melbourne bright and early tomorrow.
