Move

Yes, I am in the mood to take my family and just move. No, not to Ireland (althouh I love it), not to Australia (although the climat is more than nice there), not to New York (although if you are moving to a big city why not take the greatest).  No, I feel like to…

Christmas cards

Finally,I have ordered our Christmas cards. Christmas cards – check Christmas gifts – check (through Santa ofcourse) Birthday presents – check Need to get the gingerbread and other Christmas baking  done and some other Christmas "pyssel", but that is all fun.

Nope

Weekend is over and I definitely don't want to go to work tomorrow. Thank good kindergarten is closed so I will work from home. A little less depressing. that third pregnancy REALLY seems like an alternative right now. There must be a artist's soul, well burried and totally lost in my "very" structured administrative reality…

Just added

I just added a complete stranger (or friend of a friend, who I never have met) to my neighbourhood. Strange maybe but I started to read her blog and now I want to know what is happening in her life. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

When do one stop asking

I wonder? If I ask a question and get an answer. Must I then, if I don't agree to the answer, keep on asking until I get the answer I want? Please comment on this. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

The best fika

The best fika, or at least one of them, is a fika with a 2,5 year old friend. Had that with Fabian, just me and him. Life could not get better. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

I wish

I know that you should not wish for things (especially things you can not change anyway, at least not without a major psychological evaluation), but instead enjoy the things you have. I would say that I usually is quite good at that. BUT right now I wish I was more male.  The characteristic I am about…

Another weekend has passed

It is amazing how fast time go. But then again, this weekend has been one with activities out of the ordinary for our family. Two shows for me and there to ALL Christmasgifts (for the kids) and birthday presents bought- Check! It is wonderful. Yesterday it was the girls night out and it was SO great….

Forgot to tell..

…that not only I going to see the 500 show, this weekend. I am also going to Växjö (of all places, there I have only been once before and then I was camping) to watch the Lena & Orup show with some (former) collegues. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Missing my iMac

I both miss it because it is a better computer but maybe mainly the fact that we have it in the kitchen. So much more available. On the other hand we spend too much time in front of it. The weekend is getting closer (my weekend starts already Thursday night). My man and myself is going…

Teeth

Fabian's fever yesterday was probably caused by the fact that he is getting his molar teeth. Yeah, yeah doctors and other very wise people claim that teething does not cause fever, I say "I disagee". Sam on the other hand is also teething. He has complained that it does hurt in his front teeth in the…

I want so bad

Since our kitchen renovation our dining table has moved and made room for the the perfect armchair, Oxford Delux. I want it and I want it bad. I want it more than I wanted our iMac (and that we have, even if it still is on service), the only difference this time is that my…

Well

Fabian is well again. Kids are strange in many ways. One is how fast they go from very very ill to "I am more healty and energized than my parents can take". Well, good for the whole world that he is well, then all can go to their jobs tomorrow. Read and post comments |…

One more time

As I JUST said in my previous blog, things never turn out the way you planned… Sam and his dad came home after two hours at the local pool and mum ways ready to take over the relay baton to go to the movies. However, Sam was not intrerested at all. He rather wanted to…

Things never turn out the way you plan

That things never turn out the way you plan is one of the first things you learn when you become a parent (if you have not learnt it before). For some reason it becomes so apparent when you have kids. Today's plan was to have the perfect family Saturday. One visit to the local pool…

Feedback

I got to hear that I, as a person, is good to have on my position. That was nice to hear (doesn't happen that often for some reason) and I do hope that I make a difference, maybe not everyday but sometimes, or in the long run. Remember to give positve feedback a little more…

Work

At the moment work is A LOT. It is really fun. Could that be that all managers are in the forrest? (Almost so you don't want them to find their way back…) or is it just the fact that a lot of thing are happening? Most probably a combination. Since I only work  four days…

Another perfect housewife’s Sunday

Our Mac is getting a socket replaced so our kitchen computer is not available. I am astonished how much time this has freed up! Apparently I have been sitting by that computer a lot… However, one more weekend is over and I have accomplished many things: One visit to the supermarket One disassembly of giant trampoline…

Now I know

Some time back I asked my self how one plays Pokémon. Now, I know and you will to. Watch how Sam and his friend are doing it.

20 minutes

20 minutes? Are 20 minutes a long time or not? Naturally, as everything else, questions like this are very subjective. But in the morning, when you are about to go to work and you can't find your car keys and it take 20 minutes to find them, 20 minutes is an eternity. No, it won't…

Photoshop is back in da house

Finally I am in control again and I am in balance (very important for Libras). Since we got our new computer I have had problems with the photo editing software offered by Apple. I am a Photoshop gal and I will always be so. Today I have structured and edited my most precious things (yeah,…

Making fire

I have a wonderful fireplace (unlike my friend Lina). The he only "issue" is that I am useless at making it start. Today was the first real cold night I there I was with my non lit fireplace… so much use of it. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Today it was bloging day

Had reserved time tonight for a good blog, with new picture from my new and wonderful camera. However, job took over and also a little nap after reading bedtime stories. Please stay close, soon you will get a full update. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

New camera

Today I ordered my new camera. Hopefully I will get it next week. Then I'll share my results here. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Amazing stuff

Last Friday I got my self a new phone. Today, six days later I can finally use it for calling. Amazing how things can go when you get a store manager to help you with your purchase. It is nice, but apparently not 100% easy to sync with our iMac. Next one will be a iPhone.

Party in Osby

Yesterday was birthday-party-time, in Osby of all places. A town with apparently at least eight really nice Osby folks (I didn't count the host and hostess or Tobias, they know me and therefore they must be really nice people). It is great with parties on Fridays, that gives you a little more time to get…

B-day

Today I turned 34. so, now that is done, nothing more to add. Had a great day. Thy guys woke me up with tickets to a Peter Jöback’s Christmas concert and hotel night in Malmö in December (for me and Tobias). Mum and dad, we need babysitters.  Samuel looked a little bit disappointed that the…

The high of the day

If the movie visit was the Saturday's high. Fabian's biking was the high of today. After our morning walk, which Samuel us usual took his bike to. Fabian was really anxious to ride his bike. Until now he has not really gotten it. But today he did. How proud can a boy get and how…

The perfect week-end

It is not over yet, so maybe I am outing this too early (we all know that it ain't over until the fat lady sings), but this week-end has been great. Not only that I finally was back to my three days week-end but it has been filled with fun and needed actions. All in…

More thoughts around kids and other stuff

The daughter of a colleague of mine had asked her mother the other day why grownups become so dull. Good question and no good answer. But I sodomy swear here and now that I, once a week (well, you got to start somewhere right) shall do something real non-boring from a kids perceptive.  I do…

Kids

Kids are good. They keep you grounded and don't allow you to drown in your personal worries, which really, doesn't mean that much. After dinner tonight my kids were dancing away to Kid Rock. Yeah baby, they got the rhythm, just like their mummy. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Cold

Tobias was making a fool out of me when I last week said: "On Saturday next week I will be ill". His comment was " yeah, if you really really want to. I am sure your you can be." Saturday is here and what… I have a sore throat, head-ace and feeling so so. I…

Competence

Is it not as that I think I am dumber than my colleagues. Sure, I can think of a few areas where I out beat them 🙂 and vice versa. But I do wonder, or envy, the ambition many of the m have. It is outrageous how much they work and thereby deliver. I do…

TGIM

Tomorrow, it is Monday. Finally. After the Sunday from hell I am so enjoying the fact that tomorrow it is Monday again. And I am not coming home for supper. Sunday was filled with tired parents and kids. Mowing the lawn for the last (?) time this year. And, realizing that the car had a…

TGIF

Yes, Friday again and thank God for that. The second of four Fridays which I spent at the home furnishing company. That would be all fine, that is what people are doing on Fridays. If it hadn't been for the fact that I have taken Fridays off. There is no one else to blame than…

Hmmm

What is up world? In Skottorp, life is turning its pages slowly but surely. Today was a great example on when I as an individual stopped existing. Work, work, work, short pampering, work, more work and still some work, soccer practise, chat, dinner, work, bath time, work, work, getting two tired boys into bed, storey…

Sunday evening

Just a short update about the fact how proud one can be as a mother. Swimming school was on for the second time tonight. And go figure, Samuel can now, with good mental powers, his head under water and some kind of home made strokes move his body in water. But I do believe that…

Testing

OK, now I am up and running again. Successfully figured out iPhoto.  Tough week for Samuel. Soccer practise ended with two black eyes. Visited a colleague and her little baby – gee they are small those newborns (maybe there was a reason for that). The weekend is soon over, it has been a good one with a lot of…

Closer to perfection

Today we (OK, Tobias) did the last finishing touches to our computer area. Since the renovation of the kitchen (which was finalised one year ago) we have now succeeded to have a complete cordless office/computer area. No visible extra hard drives, no keyboard or mouse cords, no mess.  Ah, Nirvana. Now we need to complete the paper filing…

New life

In one way or the other, my new life started Friday – I am now a part time working mum. So far so good. This means that the weekend has been super long and I am dreading to return to the working life tomorrow.  The weekend has been about visiting the grand parents, BUYING OUR iMAC…

The first cold of the season has arrived. No wonder I have been tired all week. My body is filled with nasty cold viruses. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Happy -yes, pregnant – NO

After several comments regarding my last blog, I want with this small, yet very powerful, insert, state that happiness does not necessarily need to mean pregnant. If it was so I would be very happy, don't get me wrong. But just for the record: I am not pregnant, but I am still happy. Read and post comments |…

I just realized it, again. I am the happiest person alive. Just so you know. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Party princess

Last night, I and a heck of a lot of other people were invited to a birthday-/wedding party. Friends of ours had done the only right thing and gone to Thailand and gotten married on the beach. Naturally they had to throw a party. And they sure did! This was the best party of the…

Music

To say I am interested in music would be to exaggerate, but I enjoy music and I listen to it, to the music, that is. The lyrics is of less importance for me, with one exception PINK. I love her. Her lyrics is always filled with energy, maybe more the kind of energy that comes from…

Work work work

So, life is back to status "normal". How "normal" ever can be equal to working. I just don't believe that this is what I was place on earth to do. I am not saying that it is boring or that I am lazy. I just reflect over the fact that it is… how to put…

Good conversation with a good friend

Today I am writing from Zürich, what a beautiful city. But it contains something even more, a beautiful friend. We don't meet often (since duh, I live in Skottorp and she in Zürich) but when we meet, we can talk as we just stoped the conversation yesterday. This person gives me so much energy. She…

The day the war came

Why must all, and I do mean all, car dealers, and I don’t (only) mean secondary car dealers, but also the ones from the finer establishments, be men. Men, in their late fourties (or older), tanned (yeah, the eighties called and wanted its tan back), slightly (not so slightly) over-weight and wearing bling? Bling is TOTALLY…

Vacation aftermath

It is almost scary what a vacation can do to your body and mind. It is like a minor war, everything gets thrown out of orbit… especially the waist line. I hope that next year I will be one of those who goes up in the morning, also during my vacation (maybe not at 6…
