… ta ta tadada. NY is common closer and I am really starting to get some butterflies in my tummy. It is going to be really fun to go. It has been almost 20 years! Promise to bring the camera on this one. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

OK, no more flu here. The cold is still lingering on but that I can live with. Back to work AT work tomorrow. Strange feeling. But good for everyone (read me and Tobias). Yesterday, we lid on the sofa ALL day, taking naps. But just what we needed. Looking at the Toy 'r Us flagship…

… one must fullfill one's duties as mother. It looks like there is going to be plenty of snow on Sunday and when that happens i my part of the world one must go for pulka rides. One just MUST. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Well, done my week's labour (and a little more since I usually don't work Fridays). However, sometimes there is no choice. But today I was close to cracking and I have feeling that it won't be the first time during this phase of the project (or the next). When I stopped working today and felt…

The fever went away quite fast and now I am full of cold, cough and dripping and sneezing nose. Well, it is not like someone shot my head off (watched reconstructive surgery) so I who am I to complain. It is cold outside as well and we are we are actually seeing snow on the…

Oh, am I bad or am I worse. I talked to a colleague around 6.00 pm and after that my world really fell apart. I see the light and I can't really say that I don't want to go. The kids are getting better I hope it will be a short one for me as…

I decided to follow my gut feeling and stay in Sweden to secure my other obligations in the project I am in. It feels enormously good right now. I just read my collegues blog and it looks like she is still stuck at Copenhagen airport, since her (our) plane to Helsinki got cancelled, which means…

I am suffering from a really hard anxiety. I really, REALLY don't want to go travelling again. It is not what I am suppose to do, but I really don't want to leave my darlings. It is just that I have ALOT to do at work right now, with thight deadlines. I have been working…

There the second one went. Sam lost his second tooth today and I might as well get used to this. He'll be moving out shortly. This time I won't throw it away in the garbage, on the other hand we did not have rice for dinner. Fabian is out on the sofa. Tough day I…

I witnessed something strange this afternoon, almost surreal. Two grownup men – fathers discussing' WoW like it was something really important. Amazing!  From now on I swear that I NEVER will be surprised over what might come out of men's mouthes. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Now, we will have to wait and see, if our application will get accepted (no, no one of us is applying for new jobs). Read and post comments | Send to a friend

…which I've used and here I am. If I am not that crazy about the French I am all over the Austrians. Just take the Austrian Airlines. It is great. No, not the food (never good on planes) No, not the service (they were good but not exceptional). No, I am thinking about the leg…

I went to Gothenburg yesterday, to visit OLD (it is better to just face it) friends. But maybe that is what is so spectacular. That we, after 25-30 years, still keep in touch and try to hook up a couple pf times a year.  It is is quite amazing when you haven't talked for some…

Looking a little bit brighter just now. Maybe we will be able to see the Eifeltower and something nice in Vienna (I know, I am terrible at the sights in Vienna) after all. My colleagues are being good girls (yes, a a´the majority of them are of the female sex), and have found restaurants at…

I am sooooooooooooo tired. Been working TWO full days now and off again omorrow, how will I manage? But it is fun. It is fun once you have decided to focus on what is really important (whatever can be important with a job). Heading south for the sofa, where I'll be the rest of the…

OK, second best bloger (I am the best, if you didn't know that by now) is the "Soccerwife". I laugh so hard so I cry. If you haven't, go read (only in Swedish). http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/7148/ Read and post comments | Send to a friend

There is probably three things you want your children to believe in as long as they can: Santa Claus, goodness in all and the Tooth fairy. For them to do that, you, as a parent, need to be very aware and handle all your cards right. Like NOT throwing away your sons first tooth in the…

Tomorrow is the last birthday party of the year. Samuel is turning five! FIVE! I can't believe it. Time flies when you are having fun. Christmas is over. It has been a relaxed one. No stress and not much being done either. But I can live with that, especially during Christmas. But we have seen some…

Walking up the stairs for a "somewhat-in-time" bedtime I heard the typical noise of Christmas ornaments falling to the ground. Strange I thought and went back to our living room. There it was, our Christmas tree fallen over (like someone I know on the Christmas party two Friday's ago), stuck between our sofas. I was in…

Now, the Christmas tree is decorated. A bit early according to Swedish traditions. However, according to Dock/Persson's traditions it is perfect! If I remember correctly, this year was the first time the kids joined me, at least both of them. Result? Absolutely fab! Honest to God, I believe this year's tree is the most beautiful…

I think we just had a magical moment in the Dock/Persson family. The brothers started fighting but became friends again. This time with NO interference from mum (magical moment #1) and thereby (most probably) with the fantastic outcome that Sam asked for forgiveness (magical moment #2). This, my firends, is huge.

My spouse thinks that Facebook is overrated. I don't understand what he is talking about, I think it is great. the other day I got contact with a friend that I was in the US with and hadn't talk with for over ten years. What is that if not great! Read and post comments |…

The Christmas cards have arrived. Now, I just need to write the 50 or so addresses to those of you who will recieve one. Fabian will kill me for this year's edition. I, however, saw some kind of humor in it. I remember that I HATED the fact that my mother one year chose a picture of…

Yes, I am in the mood to take my family and just move. No, not to Ireland (althouh I love it), not to Australia (although the climat is more than nice there), not to New York (although if you are moving to a big city why not take the greatest).  No, I feel like to…

Finally,I have ordered our Christmas cards. Christmas cards – check Christmas gifts – check (through Santa ofcourse) Birthday presents – check Need to get the gingerbread and other Christmas baking  done and some other Christmas "pyssel", but that is all fun.

Weekend is over and I definitely don't want to go to work tomorrow. Thank good kindergarten is closed so I will work from home. A little less depressing. that third pregnancy REALLY seems like an alternative right now. There must be a artist's soul, well burried and totally lost in my "very" structured administrative reality…

I just added a complete stranger (or friend of a friend, who I never have met) to my neighbourhood. Strange maybe but I started to read her blog and now I want to know what is happening in her life. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

The best fika, or at least one of them, is a fika with a 2,5 year old friend. Had that with Fabian, just me and him. Life could not get better. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

It is amazing how fast time go. But then again, this weekend has been one with activities out of the ordinary for our family. Two shows for me and there to ALL Christmasgifts (for the kids) and birthday presents bought- Check! It is wonderful. Yesterday it was the girls night out and it was SO great….

…that not only I going to see the 500 show, this weekend. I am also going to Växjö (of all places, there I have only been once before and then I was camping) to watch the Lena & Orup show with some (former) collegues. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

I both miss it because it is a better computer but maybe mainly the fact that we have it in the kitchen. So much more available. On the other hand we spend too much time in front of it. The weekend is getting closer (my weekend starts already Thursday night). My man and myself is going…

Fabian's fever yesterday was probably caused by the fact that he is getting his molar teeth. Yeah, yeah doctors and other very wise people claim that teething does not cause fever, I say "I disagee". Sam on the other hand is also teething. He has complained that it does hurt in his front teeth in the…

Fabian is well again. Kids are strange in many ways. One is how fast they go from very very ill to "I am more healty and energized than my parents can take". Well, good for the whole world that he is well, then all can go to their jobs tomorrow. Read and post comments |…
