Friday morning

We spent the whole day inside yesterday, tried to rest some and got some energy back! Its lovely to be able to rest and feel rested afterwards. Its been a while since I was able to do that. Seems like I got a bit of spare energy. I will do my best to keep that now.

Paul did all our laundry and dishes and James and I dusted and hoovered. The week after next week we will start with a big autumn cleaning, scrub all the walls in the kitchen, organize in all the cubards etc. Go with all cardboard and rubbish we collected during the past year. I also want to get our guest room tidy and ready for guests, its more a storrage right now.

Going to color my hair again today, Paul is taking James out so I can do it in peace.

Tonight I am going to my friend Agge for a girls night, James is coming to. Going to be nice, we will buy some nice food and relax, well I will have to run after James until he falls asleep, they have many interesting things in their flat that he can destroy :) Paul will be home and have some nice quiet time, he needs that after this wild week, its never quiet when you hanve a chimpans in your house! :D

Oh! Paul and I watched Star Trek 4 last night, what a funny movie! Laughed my head off. As I said before I LOVE Star Trek! If you havent watched the first series and the movies, please do!

Well this is all for now... Have a little boy next to me talking nonstop so its a bit hard to write...

Can you cure a cold with glitter nailpolish?

Hm... Would love if this stupid cold would be over now! Would also love if James day care staff would be back because Im pretty tired now, would need a bit of rest! But what can you do?
Ive painted my nails with gold glitter nailpolish, think it might help me to get better from my cold?

I do not have anything more to say right this moment, almost falling asleep... But I did promise you a video of James singing and I did manage to catch some of it :)

You can listen and watch him here!

Heres some pics from yesterday

Ooo... Little gorgeous chimpans :D

Dear Rob and Lyn

Our helpful chimpans

Had an okey day yesterday, I ignored that I was sick and did a little house work in the morning. In the early afternoon I went out with James to do some shopping and to get a bit of sunshine. It was so beautiful outside. Poor Paul was still feeling bad, so he had to rest all afternoon.

James is talking, well singing all the time now. Its wonderful to listen to him and hes so cute. When I was doing the dishes in the morning he went into the living room an picked up Pauls plate that was left on the table after his breakfast and gave it to me. Hes very helpful. Its nice now because you can ask him to get stuff for you or ask him to put his toys back in his room. He asks about things non stop all day, whats that? Whats that? Whats that? Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! Daddy! Daddy! Whats that? You get a bit tired when hes home all day, at least when were sick! Quiet doesnt excist anymore!

In the evening Paul and I watched the third Star Trek movie. I cant wait to see the next one! I love Star Trek so much. Yes I am a nerd, I know :D I even cried in the end....

Todays to do list is to try to rest as much as possible. Its a bit hard to do when James is home all day ( day care doesnt have enough staff right now so hes home) but hopefully well soon feel better!

This is James doing his first artwork of the day, when I asked him what it was he said dadda and momo ( daddy and great grandma).

I will try to record his singing today so that you can listen to it tommorow :)

The angry look!

Picked up James earlier from day care yesterday because they are short of staff, everyone is ill. Went in to the city to buy some material for James birthday invitations. Going to prepare them today with James, he loves drawing so he will enjoy it big time! In the afternoon James best friend and his mum came over for a play date. Poor Paul was in bed all day with fever.

Today we all woke up with a cold, borring! So today were going to have a calm day, hopefully we will be better quick!

Heres som pics from yesterday!

James was pissed off with me and gave me his scary angry look :D I tried to explain to him that he have to sit in his pram when were going on the tram, think he got it after a while.

A great weekend

Had a great weekend! Paul went to a friend to watch fotball on Saturday and I invited some of my friends for a mum and kid dinner. It was a bit of a crazy afternoon with five mums and six children in our flat, but we had a great time. We ate tacos and talked about things that mums talks about. I wanted to get all mums together so that we could plan fun things and get together more often.

I spoke to Pauls mum for a little while and it was so nice. Wish they lived here so that I didnt have to miss her so much...

On Sunday Paul had a movie day and James and I went out on the playground to chat and play with friends. Went home to my friend for lunch, she lended us some clothes for James and I got to cuddle with her 2 month old daughter. Its very nice to just be able to borrow a baby a little for a cuddle and then return it when ever you want. Cheeky!

I got great news from my aunt. Her husband been through a brain surgary, they thought that he wouldnt survive, but everything went perfectly and he will get well again. Miracles does happen!

Paul and I had a movie night, we watched the second Star Trek movie and had red wine that one of my friends brought us on the mum and kid dinner. I am a proper Star Trek fan now. Cried two times during the movie, my favourite character Mr Spock died. I was so upset! But then I realized that he is in the movies after this one and felt a bit better! What would Star Trek be without Mr Spock..??

Well that was our weekend, have to get ready to go and get James from day care soon!

See you tomorrow!

Hello again!

Really needed a break to think, thats why I been gone for a while. My head feels sorted now and I know what to do with things. It feels great and I have more energy than in a very long time. Its funny how much you can change with just your thoughts.

I am looking forward to this autumn now, I am not scared like I was before. It feels like Ive choosen the right path and Paul is by my side. We will reach our goals together, we always do. I will tell you more about our plans later, when I have all the facts.

James is not sick right now, its very nice! He gets to spend his time in day care and we get some time to do things and just be us. You become a much better parent if you are able to just be you for a little while everyday.

Well, have to go now. Busy woman today, its Pauls birthday tomorrow and I promised him to make lemon curd tarts! Never done that before erhm... But I bet they will be delicous!

Hi peeps!

I am so sorry that I havent written here for almost two days, you must be so curious about whats going on in my life now! Well, were sick! Well, James is, which means no sleep for me and bad sleep for Paul. So thats why I havent been publishing any posts. Feels like I have jelly in my head. So this is all you get today I am afraid, but I promise to write as soon as possible! Hopefully tomorrow, have a lot to tell you! xoxo

Found James like this the other day, he wants to do everything that Paul does <3

A great Friday

Had a great day yesterday! Our friend Angelica came over to us with some cake and stayed all day. We talked about many different things and decided to have a barbeque today. Agge and her boyfriend came and picked up Hayley, it felt good and sad at the same time, James wasnt so upset, but today he is. But thats life...
In the evening we watched the first Star Trek movie, I was in heaven! I love Star Trek so much! Well, thats all I have to say this morning, I am very tired, lack of sleep and its been a bit stressful to leave Hayley and everything.

Heres a video from yesterday to compensate a boring post!! Watch movie.

We will miss you Hayley...

I had a very good afternoon, spent it with my friend Agge and talked about stuff. Agge and her boyfriend is going to take care of Hayley (the dog) this weekend and if things work out they might take care of her. It is heart breaking, mostly because James really loves Hayley and even got a bit grumpy when Agge cuddled her all the time. It wont be pretty tomorrow when he realises that she wont be her with us anymore. I want to protect him from this experience, but its part of life to say good bye, and he will see her again. I feel guilty aswell, I couldnt take care of her, my lack of energy is to big, she deserves to be in a family that have energy for her. Shes such a great dog.... I refuse to give myself a hard time about this though, well I will try anyway, because I do care very much about Hayley and want what is best for her, thats all that matters, that is why I am letting her go. Enough about that...

Spending time with good friends gives you such an enery boost. I feel pretty good right now, this second. I have very much stress inside of me though, but hopefully I will get some sleep tonight. Good night! Sleep tight!

Oh! Its the boy with the beautiful big eyes

I cant imagine that James was this small, he so cute isnt he haha!

A very early morning

Been up since 4 this morning, James been puking about 5 times, hes alright now though, poor little monkey. Paul helped me offcourse, he was half asleep though because of his sleeping pill. Gonna continue the cleaning mission now, soon done! The laundry basket is full again after this morning though, but what can you do? At least James is okey, he had breakfast and is running around beeing his usuall happy self. So hopefully no more puking. Tonight will Agge come and visit us,shes one of the girls that I went to florist college with, looking forward to that!!
Have a nice day peeps, c ya later.

We did it, we did it!

I have good news, the cleaning went well, almost done, will do the rest tomorrow. Paul did all the laundry and the kitchen. I am extreamly tired now so I cant write more Im afraid. But I can show you some pics from my walk home from day care this morning. See you all tomorrow!

Motivation

I really needed motivation this morning and I got some from a friend. I had as usuall made up a plan in my head for today, which was to crazy clean the whole appartment ( no I havent done that yet, I have tried though). But my friend just told me to not clean and instead put some music on and jump around to get new energy. At once all the pressure I felt was gone?! I felt a bit smiley instead of angry and tired. I went in to our bedroom to wake up Paul who was still in bed, he was hiding because I was so stressed and grumpy, poor man. So my very long list for today got a bit shorter and more realistic. I am very happy about that I have so wise and caring friends around, I really need you guys right now. I tell you about my progress tonight, bet you are exited...

Suprised!!

I am a bit surprised about how many readers I already got, even more surprising is that Ive got some mails from readers that doesnt know me (us) irl with some questions, its fun that people actually are interested in who we are. Im going to make a list with facts about me and publish it soon, it will contain everything from my favourite color to well... I dont know yet, but you will get to know me a bit better from reading it anyway! People also wonder why I call Paul Mr Spock, I will also explain that in a post that I will publish this week. I will make a list for James aswell. So dear fans, dont worry, you will get your answers soon. Thank you for reading my blogg!

Oh, yea I almost forgot, please comment or email me if there is something else that you wonder or if you have a subject that you want me to write about.

Gorgeous things I wish where mine
