The sound of two brothers, playing. In their imaginary world. What a treat. Right now I am very happy.

Why compare?
I do not really see the point in it. The point to compare. The only time comparison is of any use is when we compete. Because then we want to be compared. But otherwise it is totally unnecessary and, for me, pointless.
That one thing missing
Right there is only one thing missing in my life (OK, two, if we count the lack of snow) and that is the fact that school is not out yet and I need to get up at 07.00 am tomorrow.
My own personal radiator
The Mr is working the night shift , so I invited the kids to our bed. I am tucked into my own personal, breathing radiator and do I love it! ❤️💚💜
Waiting
It is fun to see what motivation does to people. In a week Sam is going for his first rating in taekwondo. He is super nervous and very dedicated. Really fun to see how seriously he takes it and how he asks to be tested on the glossary. I really hope he makes it.
Chores of the home
I know that chores around the home is good for the soul. When you do them because you want them to. Like yesterday, when I could decorate for advent. hang some advents stars and candelabra in the window. My body and mind was at a place I haven’t been in weeks. The day was ended…
Grey
November is grey. Outside and inside. Grey. November is grey.
I am here
Just so you know. I am here, just working a lot. We are very tired.
I am getting there
Life is a journey. I am on mine and step by step (my patient really get a good training here) its getting clearer for me. I look forward to this fall and winter and where it will take me. Life is as great as you make it.
Zzzzzzzzz
If you cough all night you sleep very little.
Big hearts
To balance my negative post from yesterday I need to say that I love people with big hearts. Who does the things you haven’t succeeded. A true leader in my eyes. Thank You (you know who you are, if you don’t I will inform you)! Unfortunatly, the same incident showing big hearts only confirms the…
Oh what a day
Today has been one of these days that takes you forward, inward and upwards. Making you realise that the sky is the limit. If that is what you want it to be. The day stared with a morning lecture about the future trends of global business and especially our customers. What is it they want,…
Problems, problems, problems?
On my way to lunch yesterday I passed by a couple of conversations. Yes, I eavesdropped. In the most polite way. Just a short overhearing of the conversations as I walked by. I notice to my disappointment that they ware all negative. All discussions were around problems or how to tackle something negative about to…
Too tired
I had so much to tell, but getting too tired. Give it a try tomorrow. zzzzzzz
Danish and ice-cream
Drove Sam to taekwando practise, stopped for an ice-cream. A huge one! While eating Fabian was listening to the danish men who stopped for the same. He looks very facinated.
Out of office assistant
“Hej! I am living my life here and now and am therefore unfortunately not available for IKEA questions until Monday. Best regards, Louise Dock” This is my auto reply, when I, every Friday and every second Thursday, choose to do something different in my life. It use to be hang with my kids. Before Fabian…
Crazy shit
Is about to happen. I’ll keep you posted.
Sweet Mary and Joseph
How hard can it be?! To go to bed at an descent hour? I went to bed an hour ago as I realized it would be too late to stay up and watch another re-run of SATC. Here I am, still awake, reading blogs, commenting and apparently blogging myself… Better turn off the lights now,…
L as in looser and Louise
Mother Nature swung whatever magical wand she might have and presented yet another fabulous day. Even-though I was stuck in the office the majority of the day, a phone call from my “oh, so wise husband” (yes, that is the verdict of the hour) changed the outcome. On his advise I played hooky and left…
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going
… don’t ever forget when I mentioned this… I promise this is only the beginning…
More happy things and some false accusations
A friend of mine came to visit the other day. Just like today, the Swedish summer took a pause and the grey skies and winds conquered our country. But as we Swede’s live after they saying “There is no bad weather only poor clothing” (or no clothing in some cases…), we went out for a…
And the happy things
Yes, life goes on. Before our goodbye to Kinchie, we celebrated Fabian for his 7 (!) birthday. The other day I told him that soon it is time for “fritids” (the place school kids are after school and before parents pick them up after work) for some time before school starts. He first booed when I…
Ladies and gentlemen drum roll, please
I have now done more than 1000 blog posts. This will be my 1002. That is great. Maybe not as great as running a half marathon but close to. I started in december 2007. Which means I have been doing this for more than 5 years, and been quite good of keeping it up do…
Big smile for the camera
OK, a lot of kids and soccer at the moment. Look at these cuties from the soccer camp the other week. Ours is the one to the bottom left.
The D-day is geting closer
So the day is getting closer. Very much closer. 3 days away closer. The Mr says I will have a hard time. BUT he supports me… I know, it’s all in the head. I’ll make it. I might not be kicking on Sunday. But it is all in the head.
Our little soccer player
Some pics from the training camp taken by an Emil Mattson. I refer to the site where the pics are available , but I do not know for how long.
Still in recovery
Our home is still in recovery after Saturday’s party. Amazing how much junk there can be inside a house when the party was outside. Apparently we should have sun (according to the forecast) but it is grey and rainy :(. Oh well, this day will pass as well.
Darn
I who was suppose to blog today… now I only want to finish the episode of “Elementary” and go to bed. So I leave you with a heading for my next post (so I might remember what I was supposed to blog about). The importance of a good coach.
Sign of love
When you Mr brings you his freshly made rhubarb cream, still lightly warm. You know he loves you: For real.
Said it before, say it again
Today was a bank holiday and finally the mr and I was both off work. So I decided to spend it with childhood friends instead ;). My family is always my priority, but my friends are never short after. We might not meet too often. But when we do it is always the dearest. They…
Even more strange
As I wrote the other day, the strangest thing happened to me when a friend turned to me for a question regarding his income tax declaration. And even stranger was that I could answer him. But friends, today the most odd thing happened. A colleague said and I quote: “…but you look like a runner.” …
The strangest thing just happened
It is time to do fill out the income tax papers. I have the blessing to have a sister who is somewhat better at this than me, so I called her support line this morning and had her help me with this and what of my business figures should go in what box. I ask…
Single mother
I have said it before and I will say it again. I do wonder if I would have made it as a single mother… Two dogs? Out of the question. Two children? Do not think so. Of course I would have made it if I been put in the situation. But nothing I long for….
Freaking pissed off
I am so freaking pissed off! period.
Taking responsibility
Oh, what it makes me happy when my children (at the moment mostly the older) takes responsibility. Like taking that shower I asked him when I went to yoga. And preferably before I came back. And the joy when he had. Love it
Be careful what you wish for
I know that one should be careful what u wish for, but days like these I really wished I didn’t have a job. Or at least a job where it was mandatory to sit outside.
A day of pictures
I hope today was a real hello to spring and farewell to winter. The wind is still cold but in the sun (and free from wind) it was a lovely. The beach was not 100% free from wind. But the boys and I had a great time in the sun. er, phhy
Com’ on already
Swedes (in general) does not like to chitchat with unknown people. But we are working on it. And when we do, we follow the British and talk about the weather. And do we have things to say about the weather at this moment. Get lost. Disappear. We love a real winter but end March? –…
Fragile
I am in Stockholm, again… Buying bras at Twilfit Gallerian, again. When walking from the central station to the city centre I stop at a crossing. Standing there I recognised a person, or it looked very much like her, but still not. It could be her, eventhough she works in this little town in the…
Status up-date
Still down, just so you know. By the way, happy birthday mum. Love you.
Seriously Handelsbanken & pedophiles, serioulsy
Do you see the picture in my header. I can’t, thanks to pedophiles and other sick people, I use on my debit card. A picture of my own children and a great memory from a fantastic day. It apparently contains provocative, sexual or nude motives. I do not want any child to be exposed to…
Is it not strange, but sad
I am of the opinion that you can’t love everyone. I am also of the opinion that you can not take responsibility for how other choose to react to things. BUT I am of the opinion that if you do not like a person there is no reason to do and say things (bully) that…
What a day!
Or, what a week-end to be precise. Sitting, still in my old couch, together with my better half, watching TV. Mostly just to be together. Sam is playing with some of Fabians new bought toys (yes, there was some visits to the toy store…) and Fabian having some time to catch up on Youtube. What…
Soccer tournament
Last week-end we were off to the little town Veinge (there was practically NOTHING on Wikepedia so I do not link) for an annual soccer tournament. I guess just like any other family, like the Beckahm’s, does (with the small difference of gym quality and warmer scenery). The boys played well and it is so…
The small wonders of capitalism
Just got the joyful message that our couch is here (or at the retailers). Should we get it NOW or wait till after the week-end (so also me and Fabian can enjoy it, we are planning to go to Stockholm, but it is February and all versions of the flu are running around, so one…
It is only a couch
Today, finally, we ordered our couch… buying couches is not as easy as one might think. A while back one found one we liked. But after strange selling tactics from the sales reps and incorrect measurements, we gave it up… So today me and the Mr went again to a new retailer and gave it…
So where was I?!
Apparently it started on 2008, at least in the US. I can not believe that I have missed it, for 4 long years. I had to ask me where I was. And after not too long mind search I realized I was in the potty training period… and that was of course why. Why I…
