Here we go! :) Once it's started there's no going back... ;) On Tuesday Anton was over at Erik's after nursery and still managed to be up 'til 9.30!? Don't know where he gets all that energy from, I'd like some of that please...! :)
On Wednesday Calle's mum called again to ask if Thursday morning would work for another date but I just had too much school work to have Erin home and sending her to nursery by herself just didn't feel fair...so we rescheduled to tomorrow instead. :) She got Erik's mums no. too so perhaps all three will get together and play...?
Today I'm getting a play date of my own! :) A friends coming up from Varberg with her girl, Saga(same age as Anton), and her new baby boy, Ted. I'm so craving that baby smell...! :D Hope he gives me a good wee cry too and I'll be in heaven...! ;)
Better start getting ready!

Total Solar Eclipse!
I'm not sure how to add a video "window" to the blog so I'll just have to post the link to it instead. It's an 8 minute long video (on youtube) of the total solar eclipse of 22nd July 2009. They're speaking Chinese or Japanese of something "similar" but it's still cool to watch! Mum travelled to China for it (and other tourist:y stuff too!) and has hopefully had just as good or better view of it! :)

:)
Calle's mum was very sweet both picking up and leaving Anton home again so that I didn't have to take kiddies on the bus. With the horrendous weather we've had today I SO glad she did! :)
Since he opened his eyes this morning he was asking when he would go, when he would get picked up and was he going now...?? *lol* He was not impressed when I told him he needed to eat lunch and have his nap before going to Calle's...! :)
I was a bit..."worried" in case Anton would be a bit shy and not settle in to the fun and want to come back home after no time at all. I didn't need to worry about that though! :D They'd apparently had a brilliant time and 4 hours later he was returned back to me...I had started missing him...! ;)
Just as Anton was being picked up another mum to one of his other nursery friend called to see if Anton would want to come over... :) Timing couldn't be worse but glad she called,we'll definitely organise something soon...perhaps tomorrow...?
Erin and I had some very rare mum&daughter-time! Lots of kisses and cuddles with no interference...she asked where Anton was a few times but seemed quite happy to not have to share me! :)
Time to start getting kiddies ready for bed...where did the day go? :)

Psychology and Religion...
My head's totally muddled up at the moment!
I'm really enjoying my new courses, both are very interesting in their own way but not so sure it was a good idea to do them both at the same time.
At present I'm reading about the different psychological perspectives (behaviourism, cognitive, biological etc. etc.) which is very interesting. The Religion course is all about analysing and contemplating about...well religion... :D which is also very interesting but it's hard to switch from one to the other. I've tried to plan my schedule so that I do one subject a day rather than mixing them both (if not necessary) and its going alright...but my head still kind of spinning. Perhaps Religion and Philosophy would have been a better "match"...
Anton's going to his first away-from-mommy-play-date tomorrow! :) One of his friend from nursery was wanting to meet up which I thought was a really good idea... Anton was thrilled when I told him he's getting to go to Calle's tomorrow! :D They're such good little friends and being away from each other for 4 weeks (the time nursery is closed over summer) is a looong time at their age. I hope all goes well... :) My little man's growing up!

Sweet dreams!

"Passed with distinction"
...or VG in Swedish (see academic grading in Sweden) is what I got after finishing the horrendous exam last Friday! :D Yay! Well done me! ;)
I sat for 10 hours straight and then another 1-2 hours finishing it in the evening...! Madness! Got it done and did it well... ;)
This Monday I started my course in religious studies and in psychology. Already feel that it's a much lesser pace which feels good, what I need right now.

p.s. Stephen's not been feeling good the last week or so and yesterday he went back to the hospital... I don't have all the details yet since he was sent there after seeing his doctor at lunch time. S just called to let me know where he was...more than that he wasn't up to talking about.

Done already!?
Hmm...already done with this weeks assignment which feels fantastic but at the same time worried about how much studying we're expected to do before the final exam...?? I mean... I've gone though my notes and all the assignments again to prepare for the exam and I feel like I know the stuff quite well...so what else can I do...?
Having my lunch now and wondering if might have missed something... The exam worries me quite a bit... Since my school is online we get to download the exam and it has to be returned after 24 hours. I understand logically that we're not expected to write for 24 hours straight but how much time is reasonable to give the exam...? I feel a bit stressed over the whole uncertainty of it...oh well... *fingers crossed* that it all goes well anyways! :) Wish me luck!
Lately I've been thinking (panicking!) about going to university/college in January (last date to apply is mid Oct.) and after being SO set on getting a teaching degree I'm no longer sure. It might just have to do with the future being more permanently set after starting uni...I mean, I know I can change my mind but I don't want to keep studying forever and... I want to get it right from the start!
The reason I want to teach is because I think it's one of the most important jobs in the world and I've been lucky to have a few truely awesome ones (and a few really bad ones) and I think I could possibly be, perhaps not awesome but, a good one... I love kids, their openness for new things and for learning and exploring and I'd like to be a part of that "magic".
I'm really not sure what has put doubt in my mind about if teaching is for me...but something, just the other week, made me think in a new direction... I still want to work with children but perhaps I might be better at listening than teaching...? Working as a school counselor perhaps? That would mean I'd have to get a degree in social work (socionom in Swedish) and unfortunately it's, as far as I know, fairly difficult to get in to that program...and the job prospects in the next 5 years (when I would have my degree) are not nearly as good as for teachers... I don't know... it'd be important to still work with children...and there's no guarantee for that...? I just don't want to be stuck in an office, a disgruntled social worker... :/
I don't know...of course I'll need to look into it some more and nothing stops me from applying to both but I just feel a bit baffled over my quite sudden "change of heart"...which really isn't a change but...yeah...you know what I mean...?? :/ :)
Looong lunch break today! ;)
