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…

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…

Walking down the stairs I just felt a little bit of hope inside myself. Spring is here, there is a lot to do outside and life is just pretty darn fabulous! Read and post comments | Send to a friend

I think I am about to grow up and become an adult. Scary and unbelievable boring. Grownups are so… so… boring and more boring, they are just so out of hope. Today I lost all hope to honesty. Honesty is just not for people who work. In work life it is all about to get as…

What is it all about? Well, I figured half of it out, yeah, the one with the kids and the family. But the other one. It this it? Read and post comments | Send to a friend

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,…

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….

Well, me and my colleague have been EVERYWHERE and I do mean EVERYWHERE in NY including Brooklyn. And we still got two or 1.5 days left in the wonderful city of NY. NY has shown that is like any big city and still so much more. Yesterday we went to Top of the Rocks (top of…

… ta ta tadada. NY is common closer and I am really starting to get some butterflies in my tummy. It is going to be really fun to go. It has been almost 20 years! Promise to bring the camera on this one. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

OK, no more flu here. The cold is still lingering on but that I can live with. Back to work AT work tomorrow. Strange feeling. But good for everyone (read me and Tobias). Yesterday, we lid on the sofa ALL day, taking naps. But just what we needed. Looking at the Toy 'r Us flagship…

… one must fullfill one's duties as mother. It looks like there is going to be plenty of snow on Sunday and when that happens i my part of the world one must go for pulka rides. One just MUST. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Well, done my week's labour (and a little more since I usually don't work Fridays). However, sometimes there is no choice. But today I was close to cracking and I have feeling that it won't be the first time during this phase of the project (or the next). When I stopped working today and felt…

The fever went away quite fast and now I am full of cold, cough and dripping and sneezing nose. Well, it is not like someone shot my head off (watched reconstructive surgery) so I who am I to complain. It is cold outside as well and we are we are actually seeing snow on the…

Oh, am I bad or am I worse. I talked to a colleague around 6.00 pm and after that my world really fell apart. I see the light and I can't really say that I don't want to go. The kids are getting better I hope it will be a short one for me as…

I decided to follow my gut feeling and stay in Sweden to secure my other obligations in the project I am in. It feels enormously good right now. I just read my collegues blog and it looks like she is still stuck at Copenhagen airport, since her (our) plane to Helsinki got cancelled, which means…

I am suffering from a really hard anxiety. I really, REALLY don't want to go travelling again. It is not what I am suppose to do, but I really don't want to leave my darlings. It is just that I have ALOT to do at work right now, with thight deadlines. I have been working…

There the second one went. Sam lost his second tooth today and I might as well get used to this. He'll be moving out shortly. This time I won't throw it away in the garbage, on the other hand we did not have rice for dinner. Fabian is out on the sofa. Tough day I…

I witnessed something strange this afternoon, almost surreal. Two grownup men – fathers discussing' WoW like it was something really important. Amazing!  From now on I swear that I NEVER will be surprised over what might come out of men's mouthes. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Now, we will have to wait and see, if our application will get accepted (no, no one of us is applying for new jobs). Read and post comments | Send to a friend

…which I've used and here I am. If I am not that crazy about the French I am all over the Austrians. Just take the Austrian Airlines. It is great. No, not the food (never good on planes) No, not the service (they were good but not exceptional). No, I am thinking about the leg…

I went to Gothenburg yesterday, to visit OLD (it is better to just face it) friends. But maybe that is what is so spectacular. That we, after 25-30 years, still keep in touch and try to hook up a couple pf times a year.  It is is quite amazing when you haven't talked for some…

Looking a little bit brighter just now. Maybe we will be able to see the Eifeltower and something nice in Vienna (I know, I am terrible at the sights in Vienna) after all. My colleagues are being good girls (yes, a a´the majority of them are of the female sex), and have found restaurants at…

I am sooooooooooooo tired. Been working TWO full days now and off again omorrow, how will I manage? But it is fun. It is fun once you have decided to focus on what is really important (whatever can be important with a job). Heading south for the sofa, where I'll be the rest of the…

OK, second best blogger (I am the best, if you didn’t know that by now) is the “Soccerwife”. I laugh so hard so I cry. If you haven’t, go read (only in Swedish). http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/7148/

There is probably three things you want your children to believe in as long as they can: Santa Claus, goodness in all and the Tooth fairy. For them to do that, you, as a parent, need to be very aware and handle all your cards right. Like NOT throwing away your sons first tooth in the…

Tomorrow is the last birthday party of the year. Samuel is turning five! FIVE! I can't believe it. Time flies when you are having fun. Christmas is over. It has been a relaxed one. No stress and not much being done either. But I can live with that, especially during Christmas. But we have seen some…

Walking up the stairs for a "somewhat-in-time" bedtime I heard the typical noise of Christmas ornaments falling to the ground. Strange I thought and went back to our living room. There it was, our Christmas tree fallen over (like someone I know on the Christmas party two Friday's ago), stuck between our sofas. I was in…

Now, the Christmas tree is decorated. A bit early according to Swedish traditions. However, according to Dock/Persson's traditions it is perfect! If I remember correctly, this year was the first time the kids joined me, at least both of them. Result? Absolutely fab! Honest to God, I believe this year's tree is the most beautiful…

I think we just had a magical moment in the Dock/Persson family. The brothers started fighting but became friends again. This time with NO interference from mum (magical moment #1) and thereby (most probably) with the fantastic outcome that Sam asked for forgiveness (magical moment #2). This, my firends, is huge.

My spouse thinks that Facebook is overrated. I don't understand what he is talking about, I think it is great. the other day I got contact with a friend that I was in the US with and hadn't talk with for over ten years. What is that if not great! Read and post comments |…

The Christmas cards have arrived. Now, I just need to write the 50 or so addresses to those of you who will recieve one. Fabian will kill me for this year's edition. I, however, saw some kind of humor in it. I remember that I HATED the fact that my mother one year chose a picture of…
