Life at its best
No words are needed. I am life.
And yes, I do take it personal
My usual very happy go lucky attitude, where I can turn away from things that I can’t 1) affect or 2) is not really about me. Sometimes goes into a dead end. Like today. I don’t take it personal as the heading says, but it bothers me. It bothers me soooo much that people, in…
Oh, those kids
Kids, kids, kids. Yepp, they are the topic again. My favourite thing! Today was Sam’s second swim competition. His first was about a year ago. We r serious athletes in this family… First time was more a mom and dad initiative, but this time he wanted to take part so… There was nothing else for…
Thankful
It is good to be thankful and recognize moments when you are. Today I am thankful for having a warm home. One thing about being a dog owner is all the weathers you come come acquainted to. Like the rain/snow/wind we met today. It is good to be inside.
What a day
Had a lovely lunch today. Yes, the food was good but the company was better. It is great to talk with someone that is “in the same place as your self”. Someone who also strives for development and improvement in the his/her life. To top it all off I won a full year’s subscription of…
Life in general
Not much happening right now… Christmas around the corner, no gifts bought… no worries we only buy to the kids. A lot at work but still under control. My own business is running smoothly. After the new year I will gear up. But other than that not much happening. So sorry, no big earth shattering…
Trash
Sometimes I do not think I am meant to be part of this world. This world of people with no backbone. Pathetic people!
Sometimes things just happen
It is amazing, how things change. Sometimes without one self had anything to do with it, other times because you are steering it. But usually it is a mix of the two. Today I made a change myself, by just saying something out loud. Powerful!
Kids -the opinion maker is back
Our municipality invited parents to a lecture how to put loving boundaries. As usual it is not rocket-science these things, but it is good to be reminded at times. The lecture was a (young!) father of four. He was a good speaker and very pedagogic, Micke Gunnardo. The first thing is to give time to…
Where does the time go?
At the moment my life is ridiculously stressful. I really feel that I am about the hit my max. This is the time where I must use my learnings from the past and allow myself to let go of the accelerator. So IKEA days are hectic and thereto I have so much to do during…
Fan-freaking-tastic
Some days are really like that. Nothing more to say. 😉 My life is great because I decide it is great!
Focus
Yepp, need to focus on the important (?) boring things. Booooooring and definitely not making me happy.
Choices
I have two choices 1) start sleeping on the sofa 2) start to go to bed before I get tired Now I am wide awake after “napping” on the sofa…
Despite
At the moment I feel a somewhat despite towards… myself. Without going into details I just feel that I am not leading my life as I learn, at least not to the extent I aught to. What to do, what to do? Oh, I know what to do. So Louise, just to it!
Longing
Oh what I am looking forward to next weekend. Yes, my birthday is coming up but it is not that. I am just longing to spend some more time with my family. My favourite time spent! Lucky me.
Autumn pics
I was not about to do this. I was only gonna sit on the sofa (I am so tired and need to go to work tomorrow – again!) ;). Here are some pics from this morning’s dog walking tour. No dogs just kids. They are my favourite objects. Especially together.
Sunday
Today it is Sunday and I’m not going to do ANYTHING! Maybe just have a little peek on the photos from yesterdays shoot. Amazingyou shoot in the eastern archipelago. Good day (both today and yesterday).
Proud
Our sons school has different themes during the curricilum. During the first weeks of the semester they ALWAYS talk about their school’s law. It is the pupils themselves who decide the school’s law and it is about being a good friend, to create a good environment where everybody can learn etc etc. Today they celebrated…
What ‘s important
If you only take one advise of all my wisdoms (yeah, I am full of them), I want you to stop (and I really mean full time stop, never evever going to do it again) doing things just because you think it is something you SHOULD do. That someone else want you to, or for…
It’s here
It is here. The cold. Let’s see how bad it becomes.
Colleagues
Many times, like today, when I really strongly feel like doing something completely different professionally. There is still one thing that stops me more from doing it. No, not the security of continious stream of things to do, not the money (LOL definitely not he money) it is my colleagues. Today there was a set…
Fuck
Just written a post over my 80’s favorite films. It got lost in cyberspace.
Soccer
I might have mentioned to you that the Mr was quite good at soccer when being younger. Our first son doesn’t seem to have inherited that gene, actually he doesn’t seem to have inherit any sports gene. Which of course doesn’t matter, we love him to death anyway. (And don’t we all regret that we…
Gender
I can’t help my self. I need to return to this discussion about equality between the sexes. It is still so, generally, that more women in Sweden take, consiously or not, more responsibilty for the home, family and children. Generally. Generally, or straight facts I would say, more women than men work part-time. Is it…
Life little treats
I hope it is me who is really untechnical blond. Because I do not want the dish-washer to be broken… to. We have already bought a new router/modem and a new bike (for Fabian, not the Mr) this month. We do not need more boring expenses.
Time to summarize
So, four weeks have passed. Our vacation is over. No, I am not gonna lie to you. I do not need a job to fullfill my self. I need money, that is why I work. So when the Lotto ticket cashes in, you wont see my at my day-job anymore. I’ll find other things to…
And the rain keeps poooring down
This summer has not provided us with much sun or heat. It is cloudy and it is raining. I won’t be the most sun-tanned gal back in the office in a week’s time. But on the other hand I would have been even if the sun had been shining. You can however stroll in the…
What a day
I do not see myself as especially ambitious. I do however see me as most efficient (at times). Today was one of those. Up early to get some editing done, cleaning the house (well organizing anyway), business breakfast, strategic planning, photo shoot, editing, preparations for BBQ party with friends (baking etc), BBQ party, laughter, watching…
For crying out loud
I am amazed (and not in a good way) over today’s parents total lameness (yes, this is a word, from now on if nothing else). How is it possible that our generation consists of this universe’s worst leaders? Of people that can’t decide over their children. That can’t understand that it is primarely you, as…
Mmmm vacation
Our first week of vacation is coming to an end. It has been a good one. With some of those things that we needed to get done (cutting the hedge, at least part of it, painting one of two sides of the house, gotten rid of the two longest heaters in the world, which have…
It is good to be good but still willing to improve
By now I have shot three weddings. I am getting better and better which is good for the last ones out on the 16 of July. I still have things to become better at, but still I give myself a pat on the shoulder and a hug for doing more than OK. As always we…
Bravery
Some people are brave-stupied (the ones who walk the tight rope between two sky scrapers with no saftey net or really, anyone walking a tight rope). Others are not brave at all (like myself) and others, others are brave in a really admirable way. My friend Lina is one of those people. Love her and…
He’s growing
Mr Buddy is growing, which is good (see older post). But at the same time have a obnoxious 5 year-old and a likewise obnoxious dog in his “teen” is not easy or fun. It is good that both of them are cute, it might be just what saves them (please note – joke).
Calm week-end – love it
It was a long time ago I had such a relaxing and calm week-end. As said, I did some house chores, that has been needed to do for a long time (but apparently there are more to be done, how strange). But I crashed twice on my couch for a nap on two separate occasions…
Good Friday
Finally a cool Friday. I could have spent some more time on my own business, but I chose not to. I am proud over my ability to choose and accept my choices. I spent my day doing some of the domestic chores that you always have the possibility to do. In some strange way it…
Home alone
The only thing I hear is the chirping from the birds and what ever the sound the pigeons do. The man, kids and dog (the other is at a dog hotel) just left for a cycling race and I am home alone. The number of times I have been home alone and easily be counted…
The small stuff
It is important to celebrate, or at least appreciate, the moments that you cherish. So I do that today. My little one got the opportunity to go home with a friend after daycare today – that is huge! And Sam had a friend with him after school (which is a regular). But still, not all…
By the way
Today, at breakfast, Sam was telling his first joke. It was a Swedish classic “Bellman joke”. Oh, he laughed so hard! Life at its best!
Poor blogging
Life is really crazy (time-wise) and will be so for some more weeks. I haven’t even had time to empty my memory cards so I could take some new pictures. These would show how we train mr Buddy. Not that we walk him much but when we do we have him loose to hopefully get…
Flashbacks
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts life with a puppy is different and exhausting to say the least. I’ve gotten strong flashbacks how it was to have a new born AND a 14 month old, at the same time. A newborn that wakes up in the middle of the night (people who…
Heavenly silence
Silence is a rare commodity in our world today. As a mother I have learnt to appreciate it. As a puppy owner I have just learnt to love it. And I will never take it for granted again. The little one has just passed out and the house is filled with silence – sigh. Today’s…
Meet Bob
Well, we haven’t really decided on his name yet. But we are introducing another family member this weekend. Since we decided that Kinche had to go (although she haven’t left just yet) we also thought through if we should have a dog at all. We realized that we are dog people and like the life…
Bad conscience and a bad man cold
When I woke up this morning I felt that there was something going on in my body. But I didn’t want me to fool myself into not take that morning jog. I have not moved much during Easter so it was about time. Result? Really bad man cold at the moment. We have decided to…
Getting tired
I am seriously getting fed up with constantly being questioned and misinterpreted. It really sucks all energy out of me. If I say: “Please go wash yourself.” The reply becomes something like “But you said, we were going to watch a movie.” Or really the reply is ” BUT YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO…
Normal Swedish spring Sunday
Today was what one would call “a typical Swedish spring Sunday”. It was warm and the sun was shining. And all sun longing people of the North were out. In their garden, for a walk, doing anything that gave them a good reason to be outside. Even our boys were out. They even gave up…
