Sydney Royal Easter Show

Still looking for houses but we’re putting in an application for one we viewed last week. I’d prefer to get the one we saw on Saturday but with 4 families with young kids viewing the place I seriously doubt they’d rent it out to a couple of 20 somethings. The one we’re putting the application in for we can afford and we don’t need our other housemate in order to pay the rent. So after a long weekend of looking at places and other such real estatey type things I got stuck into my homework yesterday, which had arrived on Friday and I want to get well into it and have it done before 2 weeks are up.

Dad called to see if he could visit and bring my sisters up today. They didn’t tell me that they were intending on going to the Easter Show, so today after I knocked off from work I gave them a call to find out where they were, went over there bought my ticket spent about half an hour trying to find them then a few hours with them. Took my youngest sister into the Showbag Pavilion, another half an hour to find one of my little group who had cash in order to buy her a bag, no eftpos available. By now my Dad’s behaviour was seriously getting to me. He was wandering around following us slowly because he was either reading text messages from his girlfriend or writing replies. He also took a couple of calls from her. It was frustrating in the extreme because he’d taken the time to make an effort with us girls, which in itself is a rarity, only to spend the majority of the time acting like a schoolkid talking to his girlfriend whom he separated from Mum for.

I just felt like taking the phone off him and telling her to bugger off because she didn’t have any excuse to be interupting his time with us. I went home early and I still feel terrible for leaving my sisters there but I would have snapped and said something I’d regret to him if I hadn’t. So now I feel guilty, angry and disappointed that my first time at the Easter Show made me feel it was a waste of $46 which I could have put aside for better purposes.
