Happy anniversary
Today Tobias and I celebrate 16 years together (no, not married, that would have been just plain stupid to do that age). Happy anniversary to you Tobias, what a lucky guy you are:-) Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Kisses
Today Tobias found out that our oldest is getting kisses from a girl at school (he sure doesn't mind). Gee, it is fun to be a parent. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Me
Just watched the Wasa bread commercial on Swedish TV. It's the one were the woman gets insanely mad when she notices that her pantie hoes are ripped and just freaks out. It is just so me. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Movie time
Today it is time to go to the movies again, “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian”, just me and my small ones. It is going to be exciting since one never knows how it will turn out, if someone will be scared and want to leave while the other desperately want to stay…. With two…
A smartass has arrived to the family
Samuel is getting older and smarter. He had the following comment when we went shopping today and his father wanted him to be a bit calmer and not so noisy. "Yeah, like we are in a library." ("É vi i ett bibliotek, eller?") I am looking forward to the conversations ahead. Read and post comments…
Spring
Spring is here and life is wonderful. 4 day weekend ahead (instead of my normal three).
Weekend summary
Lovely weekend, good weather, good friends, hiking and horseback riding.
Nip/Tuck
Just watched another episode of Nip/Tuck. What a BIZZAR show. Really really strange. The weekend has been good, although short. Worked Friday at least half of it. Today Samuel had his last training at swimming school. Finally, he dared to jump into the deep pool (this is strange since he has jumped into deep pools…
Celebrating spring
This long weekend has been about celebrating the fact that spring has arrived. This year we could skip spring and celebrate summer, it has been very warm for the season. All this have been done with traditional bonfires and BBQ’s. Today we went to a new tradition, instead of watching cows being let out of their…
Scoring high as parents
Today, Tobias and I got top scores in being parents. Jumping on the trampoline with the boys. Sam never wanted it to stop. I then got me some extra point playing pedagogic (Tobias is not getting any playing the none-pedagogic ones) computer games. Sam is now entering the world of money and the value of them. Then I…
This is my family…
…and yes, I love them dearly.
Good or freaking awesome
The ocean Sometimes life is good and sometimes it is just darn awesome. Saturday was darn awesome. After almost a year we got to it together and had a girls night out. We are old soccer wives, who try (yes, I said try) to meet every once in a while (read year) and drink wine,…
If you
If you would weigh the time you spend with your children with time you spent doing other things. The time you spent with your children will weigh about 1000 times more. That is just the way it is. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Why?!
I do become very upset when it comes to ignorance. What especially makes me tick at the moment are all these fashionable/cool parents who have the poor (?) judgment to buy "Bugaboo/bubaboo" type of trolleys (which means that the child is facing the world rather than their parent when out and about). Why not use…
Not much
Feels like not much is happening just now, or is it just the opposite? According to my camera the following things have hapened since early/mid April: The trampoline has come out The first BBQ with friends The boys first argument over a girl The purshase of a new "Saftmaja", which works on electric (induction) cooktops…
That time of the month
I was watching TV and started crying. What was I watching then? The documentary soap show of working at the Stockholm international airport "Stockholm-Arlanda". I guess that it just is that time of the month… Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Accents
Why is it so, that people react negatively when they hear certain accents? Personally, I react negatively to people speaking with a Stockholm accent. This afternoon when I'd cleaned the strawberry field from weeds, I heard a couple speaking very loud (please remember I live in a small town, doesn't need much to be loud) and these people spoke…

Song time
So, the weekend is over and time for work again. Really enjoyed the WONDERFUL spring weather that southern Sweden have had. Here is an example of what we have done today. We also had a look at a miniature pinscher pup, but no not now. And I really want to have a Ridgeback when it…

Spring
Weekend over again! Thank God that I am going back to four day weeks :-). Gardeing has been the topic this weekend as well, as a quick visit at grandma and grandpa's. Today, Sam didn't get any candy after swimming class, since he was making a lot of nuisance and even told one of the…
Life
Those of you following my blog regularly, might sense that I am not on top these day. Foremost it is my ego that have gotten a turn. Nothing lethal but still agonising. However, thank God that there are alternatives, like friends and family. Sunday was one of those days, putting things into perspective. Read and…

The week that passed
The week that has past has been very hectic at work and the next week will be as well. Basically been working all day, having dinner with the family to continue working until 10-12 at night. I know it has an end, but still I wonder how my company will sort the future out. Never…
Loves Facebook
Tobias was working all week-end and since I could not find something better to do after the my mums birthday party and the Swedish final of the Eurovision song contest I went to my computer and Facebooked for a while. And what to I find?! More than two hand full of old school mates from…
Spring
Today, spring came to Skottorp and it is so good! The light the warmth. Mmmm! One flowerbed freed from leaves and other winter stuff, a lot more to go. But that is good! Thought the Swedish final of Eurovision was good, I like more or less all songs. My favourite didn't win but the winning…

Dino at Toys ‘r Us
OK, another one that is more fun for me making than for you watching. Samuel favourite, he can't wait to get to NYC! (and yes, I edited the sound afterwards… it is only in movies that the music is present in real time) Now, it is time for me to get into bed and into CET…
Pictures from THE city
Midtown I know you all been waiting and here are some (of the 404 I took, thank God for digital cameras) pictures from the mother of all cities – New York (like any one has missed that it was there I was going). It was 17 (!) years ago since I was there last. That…

Back in Sweden
So, that was that. The US trip is over and I am TIRED and BROKE. My body is till on US east time, meaning 2.05 pm and I have slept 3 hours the last 31 hours. To that been working, maybe not the most efficient today but still. Getting kids to bed is hard today,…
Snow storm
Apparently a huge snow storm is progressing on the US east coast at the moment. If you believe the news this part of the country will come to a total standstill during the night and the early morning. We’ll see. Today my brilliant colleague took us safely from Midtown Manhattan New York, through New Jersey,…
Missing Skottorp
I know, it is absolutely WRONG of me to even think this. But I can't help it. I am having a fab time here i NY, my budget is far off and I have to pay for this trip several months ahead. But I start to miss my darlings, right now in Krisitanstad with grandma….
