Life in general – Page 12

A piece of heaven

Just returned from a short trip to Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen. The reason for our trip were Chris, Jonny, Guy and Will. The four awesome members of a group called Coldplay. It was a long time I was at a concert of such celebrate. For me Coldplay is foremost subtle. But the show yesterday was nothing…

Time in forrest

Today, a very tired Mr and one not so tired me, took the brothers and the dogs for a forrest walk. I never been the biggest advocate for the forrest, I am a more a beach and ocean person. But I have to say together with the Mr, the kids and the dogs, also the…

Time flies

Had a party booked and no babysitter… What to do, what to do. Why not leave the kiddos at home alone for a while… Said and done and went perfect! I am home now and shortly thereafter they fell asleep. My boys ate getting big! 💜

School

Today school started. Fabian was all in as it was his first day at school. Sam was more reluctant if still positive. When the day ended it was quite alright anyway.

Some more pics…

… from our Nimis outing today. Great family time, I can really recommend it, if your company is not too young (or too old). Sam took the opportunity to praise the artist himself to the great artwork.

Right here, right now

We’re at Nimis. Just for the record, I am so happy.

To generalize

There are very few things (I think I might have used this opening statement before, so OK…) There are quite many things that make me hit the roof, and one of those are generalizing. People that can not see the real core of a problem, instead they take the easy way out and find some…

Visiting family

Today’s outing was to Buddy’s breeder. There he got the chance to catch up with his sister, mum and grandmother. They clearly showed who decided. Lot’s of play was the result and left him quite tired. Fabian and Buddy’s grandma found a connection. Have some great pics, just need them to travel through space first.

Windy Varberg

Today’s outing was Varberg. And what a windy day it was. Perfect for surfers. We saw a number of kite surfers hitting the waves. The destination for our execursion was Varberg fortress. We ran out of time for the vampire exhibition :(, but the Bockstens man and a dramatized tour of the fortress we did….

Thunder

One week gone, two weeks to go. Wonderful vacation. Had good times so far and also time for the first family fight. Well, well we will get over that to.

Do NOT understand

I can not and will not understand how money is more important than your children. Period.

Friendship

Tuesday, four friends came together from different parts of the country. One I have known for over 30 (! OMG) years, the others from high school, which means a good 20… The social media thing makes its easier to stay in touch and be updated, but that isn’t what it is about. It is the…

Bros

As you know, life as a mother can have its up’s and down’s to say the least. I don’t try to paint the picture more beautiful than it is. But I appreciate it massively when it is good. Like times like this.

Stressed

Woke up early today, little stressed out of all the work I have… Somewhat redicolous as the opposite would stress me even more… Nowadays I seldom get stressed by workload. As I know two things; 1. I will make it (as soon as I start DOING it) and I will finalise it good enough (I…

V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.

Officially, vacation starts on Monday. But already now I have done most things needed on a vacation. Sorting. Sorted all Sam’s old clothes to Fabian. Now Fabian have an updated wardrobe and does actually not need any more clothes. Relax. Went to the beach twice for more then 30 minutes (probably a world record for…

Relaxed

Dinner soon ready. Kids home. Been to the beach all afternoon. 1 st day of vacation is over and I am already relaxed.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow it is time to get the boyz from grandma.’s and grandpa’s. Missed them big time, especially the first day. But we made the most out of the evenings without them. Movie Monday, dinner out (incl 500 km bike tour, well it felt like it…) at Skepparstugan yesterday and drinks out in Båstad tonight. Summer…

Time

It is not long now. Not long at all!

Suck

Oh I suck at bloging right now. Deadline coming closer, unfinished photo editing, LOOOOONGING for vacation. Once again I question my self to wait so long before taking it. Hopefully I will have lots more inspiration after the vacation. Promissed myself to take more pics and allow my self to be creative in my photgraphy…

Loathe

There is nothing I loathe more than people who do not have the ability to argue and reason. It is one thing to be ignorant (to have facts wrong), or having a difference of opinion. But people (are they really?), who only say things but can not argue for them, who claim you are wrong…

Life

In the distance I hear the cover band blasting “We’re not gonna take it”. Going to bed after a summer’s party in the beautiful Österlen with the best of people. The Mr is enjoyong himself dearly and it makes me so happy to see him. Love to everyone out there, and remember, it doesn’t become…

Thank you for this day

Had the best day today. So good that if the rest of the summer will be crap, I will remember this summer as fantastic. Left a very rainy and grey Skottorp, for an almost as grey but not rainy Höllviken. Friend from high-school (i.e a looooong time ago) and children was the destination. Conversation (or…

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…

OMG

I just recorded my Mr’s snoring and is actually considering to share it (if I can share sound). God, he (the Mr not the other one, at least not for recording aweful sounds) will kill me. But it sure will be fun to share with him tomorrow. Sometimes I adore my sense of humor.

Scary

It is scary when you start to think too much about how false people are. Really, really scarry. Another scarry thing to think about is how many misstakes you will be able to get away with, before you screw up your children for all future.

H.A.P.P.Y

Happiness is to sit in your own garden and watch the love of your life getting his butt kicked by your offsprings.

Withdraw

Today was the first day I made major withdraw from this account. There will be many more I can tell you.

Tired

To be woken by a snoring Mr and a wining dog at 5.30 am, are only three of the reasons why I am dead tired today. Trying to be tactical in a reorganization is really not my cup of tea.

Pouring down

Just as fantastic Swedish summers can be, just as terrible can they be. Like now, it is POURING DOWN. So happy that I do not have vacation.

Filled up

This evening I filled up. My tank is 100% full, which will help me many MANY times the time ahead. Took the boys for a bike ride picking some Midsummer flowers. The weather was amazing, and both the boys and I were at ease. I actually thought, “If I die tomorrow, I’ll die happy.” But…

Enjoy

I am working hard to be happy. I am a true believer that one way to become happy is to live in the moment. To stop where-ever and when-ever you can when life is good. Right now, my life is good. Beautiful summer’s evening (the very best Swedish one) sibblings are playing (not fighting, that…

Tough

Today school ended for this semester. And even if we are not able to give our sweethearts 10 weeks of summer holiday, we still can provide them some lazy mornings. Starting tomorrow. Sweden just lost their second game in the Euro2012 play off’s. This means that we are out. Tough, but good time to remind…

Bye bye

Tonight I said goodnight to two boys, who no longer are so young anymore. Tomorrow is last day of school for Sam, who starts third grade after summer. And Fabian… after some more weeks, he will leave the kindergarten years behind him and be a school boy to. Their mother doesn’t know if she is…

It’s here

I didn’t get any Mother’s day gift a couple of weeks back (and then I told him that it would be a great gift for Mother’s day, ‘nough said). But yesterday it finally came into my possession.

Buddy and bubbels

Exhausted

Totally exhausted that is what I am. Shot a wedding today (wonder if this is the correct wording…). As always a little nervous (that is good I believe) and then the weather…. Rain or no rain? I have been following the weather forecast all week. Going from R-A-I-N, to some rain, to no rain. 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…

Reminder

Just a short reminder to self, to skip the socialmedia thing and GO TO SLEEP. Now.

Hurt

Oh, how it hurts bad when you see your loved ones being hurt. I will never get used to this. I am aware that it is my hurt and not my loved one’s and that I need to put it into perspective and not to make it bigger than it really is. But it still…

Not much

Not much is happening in Skottorp at the moment. I have terrible cold and feel really sorry for myself. The Mr and I have decided to have a date, we meet in the sofa with a film. So after our dog walk we are claiming the TV and sofa downstairs and force the kids to…

Pissed off

Today I got very upset at work. I guess there is a risk (a very small one, but still) to tell you why. But I choose the path of freedom of speech. After all, I have already told my employer that I am upset and why. So IF they by any microscopic chance read this…

Oh, what a day

Yesterday night ended with the awesome win for Loreen and Sweden in ESC. The whole family watched the voting, which usually is sooooo boring, and we screamed after each full point she got! Congrats to Loreen, people like you make me so proud to be Swedish. Today was Mother’s day but for most it was…

F as in Friday and film

Now it is here, my short on-line film for my photography business. I love it. The film had not been possible without: Tim Ciasto and his Visualife.me. So if you need a film for personal (wedding perhaps) or business reasons he is the one to give the assignment to. Beautiful Eva and her children, who did…

School

Today parents to the children of pre-schoolers were invited to visit the school. So we did. Fabian is very excited and a little nervous what is about to come. Mum is surprised and somewhat heart-broken about the pace time flies.

Have I told you?

How much I love my children? If not, I will now. After dinner tonight it was time for the usual dog walk. Our youngest was joinung us with his kick-bike. As he opened the gate our lively Ridgeback sneaked out and off he went down the road, in a speed only seen when chasing lions…

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,…

Provoked

As a frequent reader of this blog, you will know that there are few things that provoke me more than the usage or, in this case, non-usage of the Swedish parent insurance… A post in the latest issue of Swedish mother glam magazine “Mama” made me tick, big time. A Swedish mother complained that she…
