So sorry, the fact that I have a blog seemed to have totally passed the working part of my brain. Will do better. I promise.
Not compare
Must remind myself “not compate only be inspired”. Not compare, not compare, NOT COMPARE!!!! Only be inspired…
Disclaimer
After seeing this I can’t really understand this old post of mine. Is it a bad photo editing or poor hair do, or maybe someone who have gone to see a surgeon (why?!)?
Tribute
As a libra I need balance. So to talk in the other direction of last posts I must say “thanks God” to those parents who do set boundaries, who do take the fight and discussion with their 9 year old. Who realize that loving your kids, does also include that they are not perfect and…
Disappointed
Life really disappoints me at the moment. It is hard to stay happy, strong and care free when tough things happens to your children. It is especially hard when you have done all you can and it is still up to others. And remebering my previous post, there is very little hope.
For crying out loud
I am amazed (and not in a good way) over today’s parents total lameness (yes, this is a word, from now on if nothing else). How is it possible that our generation consists of this universe’s worst leaders? Of people that can’t decide over their children. That can’t understand that it is primarely you, as…
Miserable
Soar throat… Yes, why not get ill now…
Spring
Spring is here, even if it is a little bit too windy and chilly at the moment.
Sun
After days in a conference room, where I’ve seen the sun but not been able to enjoy it. I took the boys and a friend to the beach. Good talks and good pictures. Spring is here and I love it.
Happy birthday
Today we have a birthday boy in the house. He is one, and the most beuatiful pain.
Remember
Before you start complaining or blaming your parents or society in general, rememember that YOU always have a choice. It is really just how much you dare to stand up for yourself and your opinions.
How freaking hard can it be?
To stand up, to set boundaries, to say no, to stick to a decision?! Our world are now being populated by horrible small creatures, who can’t take no for answer, argue a matter or stand up for themselves. And this only because their parents and other grown-ups around them don’t dare to show, that at…
19 hrs friends
The heading could trick you in to think that I am about to talk about short encounters, not going as expected. But it is really quite the opposite. Apparently this post covers all (most) my topics. And that is what happens when you bring old friends together. Meeting them, even if it was 15 years…
Thoughts
There are so many feelings and emotions in me at the moment. I hope that the week-end get away with friends will help me ventilate and clear some of them out.
Dream job
“Watching” Champion’s league with the Mr. (Much more tatooes nowadays on the very fit players, wouldn’t you say?) Anyhow, I think I know what my dream job is: team doctor/physio for any of the top soccer teams. That would do for me.
Mad men
No, I am not referring to the men around me (professional or privately). When will the next season be aired? Will it be aired? I have a need for Don Draper. After a fast browse, apparently/hopefully it will air on Swedish TV this spring. Yeah!
I just became a better person
Once this summer I overheard a sons conversation to his mother about what my oldest just had done. It was not so much what the boy said as what his mother said, that caught my attention and finally got me to understand what parenting coaches have meant what we need to do to not only…
A boy & his dog
Everything a 8-year old needs.
Junior
Two weekends ago Fabian had his first soccer tournament. They ended 4 out of 5… but they had fun and I am one of them cheering parents, who once in a while remember to cheer for the opponents to. The very non- swedish cheering from myself and the other parents of our team was however…
Balance
To balance my last post, I want to make a smart remark: I just want to clarify that I disslike (not hate, a word that is widely missused today) stupid people. A lot.
Once again
Last week I was abruptly reminded about the evil world we live in. How important it is for me to do good and be good. To never do evil things. Especially not to children.
Re-charging
What a wonderful way to re-charge one’s batteries. Cleaning and editing pics. Since we returned from vacation I (and a lot others to) have worked constantly. Full days (and a little more) in the office. After dinner and sometimes leaving the bed-time chores to the Mr. I have been working until 10, 11, 12, 01…
Have u gotten it?
Do you understand that Timbuktu is one of Sweden’s best singers/rappers/songwriters. If you haven’t, get it! Here’s a link to his stuff on Spotify.
Me
This blog is not famous for its pictures of its creator. So I’ll share this. It is OK as the germans would have put it.
We must…
… get ourselves a new sofa. It is only a matter of time before the one we got will break (literally) down.
Butterflies
One day to go! Then we have reached the point of no return. And that is soooo liberating. It means that whatever u have forgotten, it is too late and u just have to deal with it. On Friday appoximatly 370 store managers and a handful or two other important (and less important) people will…
Still working
Just after midnight my laptop was closed down. I think I’ll sleep in and not be in the office BEFORE 08.30 later today. 4 more day left… What do I expect… I’ll tell you later…
Sometimes
Somtimes you do not need much to appriciate what you got. But it is somehow sad the you need to be reminded. Love what you’ve got.
Swedish mountains
We are back after one week in the Swedish mountains. Together with 10 (!) others we spent some relaxing (long johns all day and no hairdryer) and fun days (very few nights for me, at 9 pm I was out). I saw my purpose to tag with Fabian. Last year was not a great ski…
I am not dead
No I am not dead. I am just enjoying life too much too be bloging. See you soon.
Delegate
“A person authorized to act as representative for another; a deputy or an agent.” If you have a specific point of view, please tell your appointed person this. If you don’t, only assign people that can read you mind and do the things EXACTLY the way you would have done it. OR do it your…
Hat off
My and the Mr just finished watching the excellent documentary “The Interrupters“. Following three violence interrupters on the streets of Chicago. I love watching documentaries with the Mr since we always meet in the dicussion of the topic. And it is good to do that – discuss. Brings us closer. Thereto as a mother, I…
Revelation
If you know me, you know that I am an honest person. Sometimes just a little bit naive and too honest for my own good. I strongly dislike lies and especially liars. I have become better over the years. Not better in telling lies, but better in choosing what truths to tell. However, today I…
Running
I have started again. To run. As I am participating in a half marathon this spring, it is about time to get going. On the other hand, I can’t complain when I have the oppertunity to do it in this nature. And of course it is extra fun with a jogging partner 🙂
Crazy
After a day like this, which included telling people off (well, not really, but being very clear in my expectations to things that one cell organisms could have figured out), getting into the details of what needs to be done to host 1300 people over 5 days (I know that the project leaders for the…
And something superficial
To balance my last post I bring in something superficial but fun. I want to share the best site for some laughs. Actually it brings you stomace ace too, after laughing so hard. If you have missed it is time to click on to “Damn you auto correct” and enjoy!
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard for people (mostly women) to understand and live after the fact that they should only settle for a good man. A man that accepts you for who you are, who’ll go with you for that thick and thin part. If he doesn’t like you they way you are – get…
Yes, happy
Couldn’t have written it better myself ;). I’m apperently on the right path, join me 🙂 http://www.prana.com/blog/2011/12/23/12-things-happy-people-do-differently/
Sunday
Lunch eaten after dog walk and coffee. Now it is time to relax in the sofa before we will say bye bye for Christmas for this time.
I know
My blog sucks right now. Have a number of unfinished drafts. Soon. Soon I’ll be better, I promisse. Keep the faith brothers and sisters out there ;).
My blog 2011
Thanks for reading 😉 Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. My blog blog was viewed about 9,100 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it. Click here to see…
Happy 2012
Happy 2012! I wish you everything good and remember it is all up to you. I have some new projects going on, tell you all about them some day.
Me and the ability to do nothing
I am truly blessed. Truly blessed with the ability to do nothing. Nothing at all. I actually feel sorry for the buzzy people. For the people who are proud of the fact that they can’t relax, that they always (must) do something. I just realized I described my father, or at least how he used…
Christmas in pic
Soon we are off to buy birthday presents and ski equipment to the winter’s ski trip… we and 5.000.000 other crazy people I guess… Dreading.. Here are some pics from Christmas (sorry for the poor quality, didn’t bring my flash). And by the look of some, we are in need for of a summer vacation…….
Life at its best
No words are needed. I am life.
Christmas continues some more
Christmas Eve is over. The boys are happy with their gifts and still not asleep 🙂 One boy got somewhat disappointed over his BOSS gift. Next year sweety, next year :)… Thanks to the friends who made this X-mas special.
God jul
Just want to wish all of you a really Merry Christmas. Think about what Christmas is all about and remind your children about it, if they forget it when their gift is not what they expected…
