So, what is happening in my life at the moment? According to this blog – nothing, or so damn much I do not have the time to write… I guess a little bit of both. Still dwelling about what to do with my life and the bad thing is that I do not progress. Should…
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.
Fun or criminal?
Little over a week ago I took on the task to arrange and collect money for a gift to a colleague’s birthday. A task one take on with both pride and a mind fully aware of the consequences. In my invitation mail to possible gift givers I wrote wittingly about my imaginative connection to not…
Not enough superficial stuff
This blog is too serious and therefore need more posts about good looks. Therefore I say: “Hello golf, hello US masters and HELLO Adam Scott”. Golf can be very interesting and exciting and … nice
Buddy boy and the barrel Kinchie
The dogs love to play. Rough at times. The are like there human counterpart…
When will it end?
I don’t know where I have been. Probably yelling my lungs off. From this day, I will really think twice, three or 100.074.663 times before I even consider to ask them to stop. And I will be sure to NEVER, EVER blame the older again, even if there are tangible marks of blood on little…
Why don’t I just shut up?
As a parent I have a hard time to not fall in to the advisory role. When sharing my advise I assume a lot of things (and you know, when you assume you make an ass out of you and me), including my way of looking at a situation/problem (but who says that the other…
Bee inspired
Went with Sam to his school today. As his school is working a lot with the environment (maybe not so much with sustainibility I guess). They have classes around a lake and its environment, a tree park with different kind of world (so not necessarily Swedish) trees, bees etc. They learn about the things and…
Why am I surprised?
If I turn off the laptop at 00:30, it is not strange that I am tired at 06:00. Learn woman! Learn!
T as in family
It is clear that all things are relative. Would I entitle my family (me, my parents and sister) as close? Maybe not, but still… yes, very. In the family I was brought up in we fight a lot (but way less now then before) but maybe we were just loud. We do not call each…
And yes, it is that time of the month
Let’s not beat around the bush, I have PMS. And when so, I change personality like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. OK, change is maybe and overstatement. I have a temper like few others (it is part of my personality and with me all of the days of the year, the fact that I am…
Birth, cigarettes & drugs
When going to sleep yesterday, Fabian decided to sleep over at his brother’s. After I read the bed-time story I stayed a little longer of a chat with the two of them. Those moments are magic. When you have a real conversation. Sam starts to sniff on “the tweenie” age and some talks we have…
Easter favourites
So, Easter is over (and I who still have a bag of candy left. That we have not even started with! Where is the world heading?!). Here are my favourite pics from the holiday. I have ordered a printout of the black and white version of the horse (one for me and one for a…
The beach
Is it something special with the beach? Or is it their genes? Their father brought up by it and my “new” love for it. But it doesn’t matter when we go there (biting winter or hot, well OK warmish then), the brothers become totally absorbed by it. They can play forever with what nature brings…
Ruined beauty sleep
It only took one night to swoop me back in time, when sleep was hard currency on the black market. F woke up with a enormous ear infection pain (I would say that his pain thershold is far lower than his brother’s, but on the other hand far above my own) and for a half…
Why worry?
I hate it, but I guess it is human. I worry. I worry way to much about my children. I must stop. But how. And now I got a hip pain after today’s run. Life sucks. Kind of. Not really. But I need my “shrimp sandwich” back (that is what we Swedes say when you…
An extra kiss
By now u know that I am one of those who thinks that just a little self inflicted pain is good for you. It keeps you on your toes. One way of providing myself a good level of pain, and thereby a decent amount of reality check, is watching documentaries where people, especially kids, is…
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? –…
Pink knee high laqcuer boots – or the courage to live your life as you want it
On my way home after a weekend with friends in our lovely capital. These are friends from pree-school, junior high and high school. Friends which you can share inner most true feelings with as well as make (un)suitable age jokes with. The shopping gave way for discussions and sharing. I quitely wonder what it is…
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.
Rebound
After the flu letting its grip go I am down again with the mother of all colds. Feeling an enormous pity for myself.
Going down
It is here, the flu, not the sick flu, the fever flu. And the husband is snoring so I had to move :(. That is how things are.
It is a promise
At 09.30 am CET March 4 I solemnly swore that, one year from now, my conversations with a friend would not contain the same conent as today. I am actually prepared to say that it will apply alteady 6 months from now. And just, for the record, she swore the same…
Dont ever
Watching a Brittish documentary called “The pediatricians”. And even if we have our share of worries, we are still very fortunate to have (what we know) healthy children. And how blessed that makes us. To be a active part of my children’s lives will continue to be the most important part of my life. Don’t…
My life, right here right now
When I walked out from yoga class 20 minutes ago. Warm beams from the sun kissed my face. And right there, at that very moment, I once again got a proof that I am doing the right thing for me, in my life. I will continue to live my life. Right here, right now. I…
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…
What do they say?
My coach once said “when u feel something, be curious on your emotions and investigate what they really want to tell you”. I am feeling A LOT right now, the question is what do they tell me? I think they say: “Why dont you all just fuck off?!”
Back to the future
Soon 20 years ago I found this guy (with the little help from my friends) that later became the father of my children, and later became my husband. When we met he was already long down in the addicted claws of it. Soccer. He was pretty good. As a young adult he got to try…
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…
Finally
THE couch arrived! Finally the whole family can hang (and I mean hang) together in front of the TV. Heck now just three of us can hang with enough space. Me is very happy.
I think I have told you this one already
Who would have known what parenting really is about? For you as a parent. What ordeals it drags you through. How you constantly will be taught in your leadership skills. Today I passed in flying colors. But I had to go deep down in myself and be true to my own believes. But it doesn’t…
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…
We made it! Part I
We made it to Stockholm! Without any of us being ill! Here are some pics from our first great day together. Shopping, walking, a trip to the Royal stables, the tube and now cuddlei in the best hotel ever (and that with only one children’s channel).
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…
Death by stoning
I am not a practicing Christian, but sometimes I find things in the Bible worth noticing and mentioning. This in particular or something similar I believe is found in most faiths: “Do to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12) So simple. Simple words, simple meaning. But apparently so hard for some…
Made peace
I have learnt, the long oldfashion way, to not become 5 and meet my children in the same mannor as they sometimes choose to meet me. Instead I leave, for 5-10 minutes and then return. First with a hug and then a talk what went wrong before. But sometimes, life would be just so much…
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh
The heading of this posts how I sometimes feel about parenting! Sometimes, like right NOW!
Week-end
There is nothing more enjoyable… (no, now I lied a little or over-exaggerated somewhat, there is plenty more better things… but it still feels good) to close down the laptop after a week’s good job. Got a lot of things done. And tomorrow it is time for my own business to get some love and…
Die just a little
The other day I commented on a blog on the kliché of how fast it goes. On how fast they grow up. This clip of Fabian reminds me, in a bitter sweet way, of the fact that I do not have any small ones anymore. And it hurts. To prove that they do grow, I…
Words are not enough
One’s children, just as beings, are (mostly) something totally indescribable (in a good way). And then they start reading. To experience when one’s child starts to master the art of reading, can not really be described in words. When a combination of signs turn into sounds, turn into meaning is magic. You can actually see your…
You complete me
Jerry Maguire might have been first, but my gals say it better and foremost do it better. Their (and their families’ wedding gift) to me (sorry us) was a print of Manhattan. I mean, what could be better? Both taste and idea, that’s my girls.I get all warm inside, truly honored that they are my…
