Thanks to some colleauges of mine and naturally also to myself, I started jogging again today. One colleauge asked yesterday if it would be helpful if they asked me today if I had been out. I said yes and apparently it did. First 4 k run in the dark January morning, where ever will this…
More decisions
Life is about taking decisions. Today I took another. Once it is taken , all doubts are gone.
I am not alone
Today I found out that I am not alone. Inga-Britt Ahlenius, who among other things has worked at UN, and I share the same view on certain things. To react when she see things that is wrong. She is calling peoples bluffs, lately towards the general secretary Ban Ki-moon of the UN. I do not…
Why is it so?
Why is it so that many people spend SOOOOO much time having opinions about other peoples work resultat. WHY?!?!?!?! I think opinions are great. When delivered to the right people at the right time. Not when gossiping to colleauges to pamper ones own feathers of greatness.
It is better today
Yesterday was the first morning in ages (or in5 days to be accurate) that I had to go up at 5.30 am. And Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee was I tired. I acctually fell asleep by the kichen table. I say I am 34 years too old for that. Today was much better. Rise and shine and out on…
Another good day
I keep on mentioning it, but it is because it is SOOOO important. To enjoy every single day. Sure, some days are easier to enjoy than others, but still. I have heard Oprah talk about a journal, where you each day write at least three things one is greatful over. I think I’ll start one. To be…
I really tried
So, been off for some days. Holiday season’s last shiveing days. Anyhow, during my three day work week last week, I felt that I had a cold coming up. So I really tried to relax. You know, the best way to get ill, is to relax. And I really wanted it out of my system….
Love at first sight
No, I am not talking about HIM (even if I got really big butterflies in my stomach when I first saw him). And no, it is not a pair of shoes. Unfortunately I am too economic… to buy too expensive shoes, even if I love to touch and feel. No, it is a magazine (or…
Got to find it
Last year at this point my coach asked me to figure out what motivates me. Don’t think I have found it yet. Now, more than ever I need to find out in order to find direction. Life can be so hard sometimes. Any suggestions?
Birthday and 2011
Sam’s birthday is on the second to last day of the year. Yes, we know bad planning etc, etc. He was planned for the 2 January, but C-sections are neither done on New Years Eve or New Year’s day and not on the expected day of delivery, so there’s the story. One is not allowed…
Some winter pics
An unassorted mix of pictures from the last week.
Life returned on a Tuesday
Today I got my old life back. Or back and back, I already have a life, a quite good one to. And old and old, that life will never, thank God, return. But today Fabian is on a play date at a friends house and Samuel has a friend over. This gives me an unhealthy…
Flexible
Life is a journey and following the same pattern day after day is not living, right?Although, I can understand people who like it when things are the same, after all changes not decided by oneself takes a little longer to adjust to. BUT things always turn out, to something. Usually that something is really good….
Christmas card
Most of you who read this blog should already have a live one in you oldfashion mailbox. For all you other people: Merry Christams!
Our star boy
St Lucia the most Swedish of all Italian traditions was celebrated on Monday. On Tuesday kindergarten had their celebration. I got Fabian to be stjärngosse (star boy). This was apparently a good choice of me since the stjärngosse quite much ressembles a wizard! Darlings they were. All of them.
What did I just say?
I have understood that hockey is a tough sport. Then I am not thinking about the physical ordeals one has as player. No I am thinking of the tough life as a hockey mum/parent. Early (and I mean EARLY) starts on Sunday mornings. Cold hockey arenas etc etc. ( I think it is the early…
Turning into a man?
I think I am turning into man. Beard, nasal hair and now the worst man cold ever. Poor me.
Waiting
Technology is good. Sometimes it doesn’t work and u get a break…
Thinking
Today Marianne and I are thinking. Hopefully there will be a result. I’ll let you know.
TV time
After a Friday filled with work, vet’s appointment and concert and a Saturday with more work and julbord with FB miljöisolering (who soon is having a new web page) I am going to enjoy my DVD box of Solsidan. A TV series that perfectly captures how many Swedes happens to be.
Breast feeding
I should be working but I need to get of the breast feeding thing off my chest (ha ha). When I gave birth to our oldest, back in 2003, the breast feeding discussion was huge here in Sweden. When I say huge, I mean Titanic huge. Back then, you were screwed if you did not…
Winter pics
Some pictures from today. Winter is here and we enjoy it while we can.
I know I am on the right track
People who doesn’t know me, that maybe only “knows” me by reading this blog, might say, after reading this post: “But shut up already!” Maybe some that really knows me, will say that to… no, they won’t. I just looked at the talk show “Skavlan” which is Scandinavia’s (no we are not one country, but…
I am here
Just wanted to let you know that I am here. But at the time there are some Christmas prepartions to do and jobs to be done. Jobs are dropping in to “Moments by Louise” and it is so much fun. Just need to remind me that to do it in my own pace.
Darn it is hard…
…to be a parent. I am not talking about the non sleep, which apparently is the worst thing in the beginning, or the terrible outbursts they get once in a while. No, I am talking about teaching or guiding your child to be a good person. Especially when you realize that very few other parents…
Snow joy
Just realizing, together with the first snow, how great it is when the kids actually enjoys the snow and have the ability to make own action with it. I have boys that loves a good ol’ snowball-fight. 🙂
Energy
It is great to have flow. To feel that the more you accomplish the more energy you get. I have a friend/business partner that I meet pretty often (like tonight) and it amazing how some one can give you energy just by being!
Friends, competition & tears
So, I and Mr spent the Saturday in Malmö with 6 other friends. We watched the Swedish translation of the musical (which I did not know that it was) Spamalot from Monthy Pyton’s. It was OK, but the other productions the performing group had done has been better. But, Johan Glans, one can’t do anything…
Baby
Going home from my friend I stopped at another friend’s house. She have just become a mum and I really wanted to see the wonder. And gee Louise, was she a doll. It is AMAZING how small they are. Which is good, thinking about from where most of them make their entrance into our world….
Reunion
Today I visted friend that has been my friend since high school (and lets face it, it is a long time since high school). We went Christmas decoration shopping (allways remember more is more). Shopping with two 4-year olds is OK. It is first when you through that 1.5 year old on to it, your…
Another decision
I’ve decided to put a theme on my blog. It is not a life time decision, I mean, things can change. This theme (temporary or not) will correspond to my personal life theme (not temporary). Lately I have been reflecting what the aim my life should be (no, it is not as philosophical as you…
Small kids…
… is something that I do not have anymore. I just have to realize it. It is freeing and so so sad.
A totally uninteresting and repetitative post
The weekend has almost just started and still it feels like it has been here 4-ever. good sign I guess. Last night I went to Malmö Opera house to watch the premiere of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with my talented friend as Lucy. She was awesome. The Friday started (which is no news if…
Stats and shit
As I mentioned some days ago I am really into statistics. I use Google for my website, they serve their purpose. I check it regularly and I am really into the map thing. Where do the server connected to the computer connected to the person browsing sit. Today I found a new server, one in Jiddah,…
Greatest site ever, or really good
Found this, by coincident. Just amazing cards and stuff. This is a thing that makes me go mmmmmmmmm. http://www.printswithwings.com
Hair
Only four more mornings with this hair. I CAN make it.
Numbers
I am getting somewhat scared of my self. Or to be honest, surprised is a better word. I am not over enthusiastic about figures. I was quite alright in math and I like solving problems. But the only time I get really excited when it comes to numbers is when they are about money and…
Cosy Thursday night
It is Mr’s birthday. We celebrated him with presents, good food and some wine. Then we watched a movie to. I really want to be Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass. A movie perfect for my and Tobias sense of humor. It is good to have fun together.
How did it go?
Yes, I heard from my friend! So cool, so fun!
I am so digital
This is my first mobile posting on my blog. Ok, not an innovator or so. But I am doing it.
Anxiety
Anxiety is what you get when you can’t find the show tickets that you KNOW you have bought for you, your partner and 3 other couples. A night you have looked forward to for some time and booked hotel, restaurant and babysitter for. Divine joy, is what you feel when you find them.
Irregular
Sometimes a lot happens, sometime nothing. Today’s post is actually more of a nothing than of a something. I just realize once again that I am happy. Which is good, no great. But I am also working hard on being it. It doesn’t come for free that is sure. OK, you don’t need to bring…
Halloween preparations
OK, Halloween is NOT a big thing in Sweden. But with two boys one age almost 7, ghosts draculas, demons and skeletons are fun. Therefore I took on the american tradition of making pumpkin lanterns – s.c. Jack o’ Lanterns. Can’t remember doing it when I was in the US, but I know I did…
Field trip to kindergarten and disco
Today I took the opportunity to visit Fabian’s kindergarten. Fridays are my day off from work so naturally Fabian does not go to kindergarten on Friday’s. Today, was an exception. It is great to see the pure joy when he realizes that I was going with him to kindergarten. In a couple of years he…
It’s my birthday and I cry if I want to.
So, I did by watching the Chilean miners getting rescued 😉 The day is not over, but so far so good. My darlings didn’t wake me up (since Mr had been working the night shift) and I was responsible for getting them to school. Fabian did sing me a song (seriously I can’t upload this…
