At times I feel like the oldest fart in the world. Why? I tell you why. Because when I have agreed to something I stick to it. It is as simple as that. If I for some reason can’t keep what’s agreed. I tell involved people. Just like that. I do not let them know…

Light
There are advantages by living in the northern parts of the northern hemisphere. You get really good at appreciate light. After (about) midsummer (end June) and until mid/end December we are getting less of it. And yes, in the really far north there is no light at all for a short time (but that is…
Right here, right now
Sitting in my favourite armchair. A new book (well for me…), a cup of coffee, the afternoon sun sipping through the window and the rest of the family up to theirs. I am complete. There is nothing more I need. Happy happiness.
Based on some discussions on Facebook
Today I want to celebrate the discussion. Or the people who know how to discuss and to let their voices be heard in a, even if emotional, respectful way. People who share their way of thinking and why they think that way. And who let me share mine, but also who question also my view….
Not much
Today we have not done much. Had birthday party for both our boys at Laser dome. Great fun and 14 sweaty boys, and two tired parents (and we didn’t do much). Good fun. Tomorrow new week and much to do.
Re-run
I can’t believe the week-end is over, it has passed SOOOOO fast. The Mr has been working all week except Friday, but that was when I did my live here and now and when hardcore shopping with a friend of mine. Before that I started with a cup of coffee with combined with a loooooooooooooooong…
Goodbye summer
For some reason it felt like the last day of summer today. The weekend has been really hot, really, really hot. And we have enjoyed it. Today we went to Kattvik and further to the nature reserve Hovs Hallar. And if it was, it was a good one. With only one dog it is easier…
Before and after
Did some cleaning for the little ones birthday celebration. It looked like this in the livingroom. Then the Mr came home from work, and all of a sudden the livingroom table looked like this.
Late LATE mornings
One side (have not decided if it is positive or not) is that our mornings during our vacation have become very late. 09.30/10.00 is when we are all up and try to have some breakfast… Which leads to a late lunch etc etc. And really nothing absolutely NOTHING gets done. But I guess that is…
Today’s disturbance of circles
You know, we all have them. Things that you have a really hard time living with. The Mr have a hard time when ladels etc points at him at the dinner table. I, I have really hard time when you make the bed with unmatching bed linnen. When the pillowcases don’t match the blankets. Apparently…
Today’s ahoh
Just had to double check if I’d let one of the dogs out and never let him back in…
That ol’ saying
In Sweden we have this saying “One shall hear a lot, before the ears fall off.”, meaning that sometime you cannot believe what people are telling you. Today was one of those days. I will tell you as much that it has to do with what tricks people are willing to take just to secure their…
Snakes, other reptiles and animals as such
After a slow and late breakfast (or actually two) with the dearest of friends. We ignored the fact that the sun was here (it is still too bl**dy cold anyway) and they boys and I went to Tropikariet in Helsingborg. Sam loves his (and all other) animals and little bro got really excited as well….
Buddy boy and the barrel Kinchie
The dogs love to play. Rough at times. The are like there human counterpart…
Bee inspired
Went with Sam to his school today. As his school is working a lot with the environment (maybe not so much with sustainibility I guess). They have classes around a lake and its environment, a tree park with different kind of world (so not necessarily Swedish) trees, bees etc. They learn about the things and…
The beach
Is it something special with the beach? Or is it their genes? Their father brought up by it and my “new” love for it. But it doesn’t matter when we go there (biting winter or hot, well OK warmish then), the brothers become totally absorbed by it. They can play forever with what nature brings…
I think I have told you this one already
Who would have known what parenting really is about? For you as a parent. What ordeals it drags you through. How you constantly will be taught in your leadership skills. Today I passed in flying colors. But I had to go deep down in myself and be true to my own believes. But it doesn’t…
Made peace
I have learnt, the long oldfashion way, to not become 5 and meet my children in the same mannor as they sometimes choose to meet me. Instead I leave, for 5-10 minutes and then return. First with a hug and then a talk what went wrong before. But sometimes, life would be just so much…
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh
The heading of this posts how I sometimes feel about parenting! Sometimes, like right NOW!
Micro pause
I stay in the car to be able to listen to an interview till its end. Nice to allow yourself a micro pause on an ordinary Wednesday morning.
I can only blame myself
I sometimes wonder if I made such a wise choice back there in 1993. If I really thought it so very well through in March 2003 (I can guarentee that I was not thinking at all). And why I said yes at all the 27 of October 2012?! Because, who in their right mind wants…
BFF
Today, I encountered a sales rep that I want to become best friends with. Is that a great sales rep or what? Went to Granit, swedish retailer, and bought some stuff. The sales rep there was the best thing I ever experienced in modern time (not saying much since most ones are ignorant, unpersonal, bored…
And everything is forgotten
Yesterday’s not so appreciated celebration of my birth was forgotten today.
Practice makes perfect
Words can probably not describe the Mr’s happiness that at least one of his offsprings have taken football to his heart (at least for now). Ever so often they go into the garden to practice. Fabians shots has become better, both stronger and more precision. I see the dream in the Mr’s eyes. One day…
Quiet
Quiet is the best word to describe my blog at the moment. Hectic is the best word to describe my life at the moment.
Why I am happy
There are many reasons to be happy. I have found mine. And here they are:
Today
A pic (or two) say more than a 1000 words.
Life changes
This afternoon the thunder rolled on our upper floor. For once I was not part of it. And just now Sam and I had a really good laugh. U know, when you laugh so hard you cry and tummy hurts. Good to be reminded of. Life always change. For good and bad. And one better…
Sweet Sunday
After some hours of working the lazy Dock/Persson family took the bikes and left for a in the moment outing. It is great to be able to do now when Fabian has a bigger bike and can manage a faster tempo. All in all we did 11 km with two sporadic stops with friends along the…
The gift of flexibility, efficiency and natural beauty
This morning approx 5 minutes before the alarm for my morning meeting went off. I got a text from the colleauge I was meeting, informing me where the meeting was and the fact that it was 30 min BEFORE the time I was going for. Thereto I have a 25 min drive to where we…
Soccer it is
Yesterday the Euro2012 started and the Mr is of course H-A-P-P-Y! But something that makes him (and me) even more happy is that Fabian have shown a growing interest for the sport. On the National day Fabian were invited to play a mini-tournament with one year older guys! Fabian did really good and the team…
Wonderful
The weekend and day can be summarized in obe word “wonderful”. Friends, family, mr Love, children good weather and great photography. What more could a girl ask for? Me and Sam had our SSS (Sam’s social Sunday) and was going for Belgian waffels. But the place to get them hadn’t open so it became: ice-cream,…
20120507/08 05.00-00.02
My day started at 05.00 am and ended now. All worth it to fantastic colleauges.
I think I’m about to die
Two brothers constantly fighting. One worse than the other. The mr is off to work. Suicide feels like the only option at the moment.
Sun
Went to Malmö today (yesterday, it is after midnight after all). What a wonderful day ot was. Sum, sun and sun!
Every last drop
When school starts in August, Fabian’s and mine lazy Fridays will be gone. As I try to live here and now we truly appricate the moment and make the most out of it. Like today, no milk in the fridge became an excellent oppertunity to get fresh breakfast buns from the local bakery. Enjoy life…
It sucks
Not best for the blog to be inactive… Stats are down and I all to blame. For those of you still here… I really hope I soon can give you some news about my own business development. The day was spent with my parents and my sister helps me with the bookkeeping and declaration times…
Dust
Why is it so that it only in my (OK ours) house it is dusty. Have I stept on the evil dust queens toes, so she sneaks in here every night and pours her disgusting dust bag all over the place? I am just wondering?
Spring
Spring is here, even if it is a little bit too windy and chilly at the moment.
Sun
After days in a conference room, where I’ve seen the sun but not been able to enjoy it. I took the boys and a friend to the beach. Good talks and good pictures. Spring is here and I love it.
How freaking hard can it be?
To stand up, to set boundaries, to say no, to stick to a decision?! Our world are now being populated by horrible small creatures, who can’t take no for answer, argue a matter or stand up for themselves. And this only because their parents and other grown-ups around them don’t dare to show, that at…
19 hrs friends
The heading could trick you in to think that I am about to talk about short encounters, not going as expected. But it is really quite the opposite. Apparently this post covers all (most) my topics. And that is what happens when you bring old friends together. Meeting them, even if it was 15 years…
Thoughts
There are so many feelings and emotions in me at the moment. I hope that the week-end get away with friends will help me ventilate and clear some of them out.
I am not dead
No I am not dead. I am just enjoying life too much too be bloging. See you soon.
