My weight...

I've always been big, both height and weight wise, and I still am but last autumn I decided that this whole weight thing had to stop - not much I can do about my height anyways! ;) I never lost any weight between my pregnancies...there really wasn'ta lot of time to do it in. ;) Then I "blamed" it on having just recently had a baby, or two actually, and...then...well after not being pregnant for over two years and weighing as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant the last time, I was just out of excuses. The trials of 2009 sort of boosted me to want to be better rather than keep walking this path of not liking myself...

It's gone really well so far. :) I've still got a long way before I'm where I wanna be and it's really nice when people are noticing the change. :) I now weigh a good bit less then I did when I got pregnant with Anton in Feb 2005 and that makes me feel great (despite the recent cold! ;))!

Whilst doing senseless stuff at the computer (though not on facebook and polyvore etc. *lol*) I found some photos of myself and I think the change is visible there too...(?) at least in the face, you'll have to wait to see any full-length pics! ;P

Really not a big fan of posting pic of myself, the kiddies are much cuter, but...here ya go... :)

Hair cut and colour.

Not a great pic but here's my new cut and colour! Black this time!? :D I wanted/needed a change to "brighten" things up so I went for the most colourful....! ;) :D

*feeling sorry for myself*

*sniffles and cough*


For the first time in I don't know how long I've got a fever! :( Feeling alright now, but for the runny nose and nasty cough but last night I was wrapped up under a woolly blanket with tons of clothes on shivering with a fever... I honestly can't tell you when I last had a fever... must have been...maybe 1 ½ ago...? If not more...! :) Lucky me but gosh how miserable I felt last night! :/

So, no school for me today and I'm trying my best not to stress out about all that I'm missing when I'm not there...! :/ I'm really sorry to miss out on the tour of the town we're doing this afternoon with Borås city's building curator (that's google's translation, hope it's right! ;)). Wish I was feeling better so I could go to at least it today but any "sudden", faster than slow motion, moves makes the room spin so I think I'd be better just staying at home...! *pout*

*cough*

Mummy treat! :)

I forgot to mention that this weekend wasn't only filled with gifts for our little miss. I too got pressies...! My belated xmas gift! ;)

I got a lovely bed set from mum at xmas but it was a satin (sateen?) one which in our house gets covered in cat hair (and dust) seconds after being put on the bed so I asked to get it exchanged for a plain old cotton one instead... :) A few weeks ago I "hinted" to mum that I'd still hadn't gotten the new set and she had, as I'd guessed, forgotten all about it. ;) :) So when she came on Sunday she not only had one but two gorgeous bed sets for me + a Spiderman one for Anton and (of course) a Tinker Bell one for Erin! ♥ ♥ ♥

Here's pics of the ones I got! Very cute 70s style Glasört Kulle and colourful Renate, which will look fabulous in our blue/purple bedroom.



(both images from www.ikea.se)


I looove fresh bedding! :D And to get two new sets, when I was only expecting one. was a super treat! :D :D :D It doesn't take a lot to make this gal happy! ;)

I really, really, really should be studying for my oral exam of the renaissance etc. and so on but I just can't be bothered! :/ The study time I've got tomorrow is gone too since I'm treating myself to a cut and colour at the hairdressers! ;) *naughty* Oh well, here's hoping some of it has magically stuck...

Feeling quite bummed about school at the moment. Feels like the air has sort of just gone out of me (is that a correct term in English? :/ That's how you say it in Swedish.) and I have no inspiration to do any of all the writing I should be doing this close to the end of the term! Shame on me...!
Oh! But I did, unbelievably enough, do really well on last weeks maths exam which I was fairly certain I'd flunk!?! :D Yay me!? ;) :P

*yawn*

No, now I'm off to bed. I'm guessing it'll be an early start tomorrow. Erin fell asleep at 6 p.m. (!)and I just let her be. I'd not be surprised if she's wide awake at 4 a.m., let's hope she's not!

Good night! Sweet dreams!

E.

p.s. Happy Anniversary to S and I - 7 years married today! Don't tell S though...he forgot all about it...! :[

Birthday party! :)


"Birthday" girl on her scooter, waiting for guest to arrive. Anton being cheeky ;) with Missy in the background.


The Tinkerbell cake! :)


Finally! Erin got her Tinkerbell doll :D and a new jigzaw. :)


So, the long awaited and previously postponed party day has come and gone! :D What a wonderful day it was too! :D Both Erin and Anton have been waiting for this day and they thought the morning seemed like forever... S and I were inclined to agreed! *lol* ;)

Guests (family!) arrived right on time and we did a little tour of the house and how it's changed after our bedroom move. Coffees, pressies for little Miss and some catching up before A. and family arrived with more gifts followed by a light lunch, another tour, more coffee and the birthday cake. :)

Erin finally got her Tinkerbell doll! :D Her face just lit up when she realised! :D :D :D She also got another jigsaw, money, a colouring book, a Tinkerbell bed set, and a tink t-shirt and a pink fairy dress! Judging by all the pressies one could think we had loads of people over but it really just was my mum, two sisters + nieces, dad and Anja and A. with her family! :)

Thanks everyone for making today a very special day for our big, little girl!!

Still, mostly, content!

The good feeling continues...!
How weird...or is it actually more weird to not have contentment as a "normal setting" in ones life? Hmm...?
What brought this "thing" on...? Spring? Weight loss?? The volcano...? ;) :D Why do I feel the need to poke at why, rather than just accept that things are...good...?? I'm good.

Weird... Or?
*lol*

I am OK. That really shouldn't feel weird, should it...!? 'Cause the option of feeling not OK really doesn't appeal to me either...! :)

I'm trying my hardest to accept and embrace this "vibe" I'm feeling but... (no but's!!)



I got my eagerly awaited letter from Nee today! :D SO happy! :D I've been asking if my letter has arrived the first thing I do getting in the door for a week now... :) Like a child waiting for Santa! ;) How absolutely lovely it was to see her handwriting, which feels new and familiar at the same time. To know she's held those sheets of paper that even got to go to a class in Roman History! :D It's like I was almost there myself! :D :D

I love letters, proper old fashioned, in the post box, letters! :) Writing them is almost as much fun as getting them. Living in Scotland I wrote, and received oodles of letters to/from A. and 10 years later I still love going to the box that they're in, reminiscing... It's like a diary you share with someone. She's got mine and I have hers... ♥

I spent the last hour or so in the phone with A. so I never got started on a reply but I could possibly imagine skipping tomorrows planned window cleaning for some letter writing time instead! ;) :D

Stephen's off the Ulricehamn 'til tomorrow, so I'm sleeping all by myself, in my own room, tonight...! :/ ;)

Sweet dreams! E.

First night on our own...!

My goodness how hard it was to fall asleep last night!? It was strangely quiet and at one point I thought about either creeping down beside Erin in her bed or bring one of them into our bed...! *lol*

S agreed it felt strange but asured me that the little ones would still keep breathing even if I wasn't in the same room ;) and that I would/could hear them over the "baby" monitor (yes! he dug out our ancient one to keep me settled...! ;)) if they stirred or called for us. There's about 2 meters between our rooms and with the door open I'm sure I would have heard them even without a monitor...but, for my sake we had both...! :)

I finally did fall asleep and Anton found his way to our bed during the night without a problem and Erin was fine too when she woke up early this morning wanting her cereal. :)

They're fine, I'm fine...! Hope to get to sleep a little bit easier tonight... ;)

Surprise! :)

Coming home from school today I was greeted by two bouncy, super happy little ones. :D

- Mommy, mommy, mommy, mum!! Our beds are downstairs!! Downstairs!! Come, come!Surprise! Downstairs mommy!!
- What!? :D Daaaad...?!
- Come! Come! Come! Mommy...!!
-Alright, alriiight...I'm coming! :)
- Tadaaaa!!

Wow! A lovely surprise indeed! (even though we did decide to organise the moving together ;) but, oh well!) All of our beds are now moved downstairs and Stephen and I have our own room again. :) Something we haven't had since Anton was born...! :D So about time!! ;) Anton and Erin are in their own room, just across the little hallway at the back of the house.

I've never seen the kids happier about going to bed! *lol!* Anton was ready to go before he'd finished his dinner. :) Managed to take a few pics on the mobile phone of the rooms so here's a few before and after's for you to enjoy.

What an amazing job Stephen's done!
♥ ♥ ♥
Great promise of what's to come with the rest of the house. :)




Kiddies room Before and After

Feeling...good...

On my way home from school today I got this awesome "I'm alright"-feeling. I was (I am!) good. Life kind of suck sometimes but I really wouldn't changes things either...!

How boring would Life be if it just stood still?! No lesson's learnt, no life experience gained…! I like things/life to move and change and surprise me, not test me but challenge me…

Last year was eons from great, nowhere near good and far from alright… It was… manageable, mainly because I didn't know what else to do with life, but to manage it. It was hard, trying and heart breaking at times. But! I grew, like I've never grown before...! Thanks to all that crap I'm stronger, more secure in myself and more confident then I have been for a long time, if ever before!

Life still isn't great but it has the potential to be! :) Now we're mostly alright, sometimes even good and that gives me hope. No matter how Life evolves, what road I end up taking I hope, truly hope, that I'll not lose this zen-feeling - that things will be alright. That I am alright

Where did that original feeling come from...? Because I've "always" had this "det ordnar sig" (it'll work out/it'll be alright)-attitude to things...! I wish I was more "zen" about it - I'd stress less if I could truly embrace it...but! I've always had this gut-feeling that no matter what I choose, what path I walk - things will be alright in the end. Life will find a way to sort things out...
If I was religious I guess I'd call it faith in God or something but I'm not religious... But, I still have Faith, in Life...in me...?

(image from google)

Gosh! …someone must have been sending me an awesomeness vibe out of this world 'cause this isn't the "usual" passing feeling it's more and it's kinda cool! :)

*lol* Now don't think I've completely changed on you! ;)
Believe me, after a few tantrums (from both little ones!) before dinner was even on the table I'd lost a good bit of my "zen" *lol* but now that kiddies are asleep and when things have calmed down a bit I'm there again…

Cool.

Eyjafjallajökull

On a completely different note...! :)

How cool is that the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull have grounded flights all over Europe!?! (article from TheLocal) I mean, it isn't cool for the people on Iceland who have lost their homes to the following flood or those who have been evacuated from their home because of the eruption... or those people stuck all over the world or not able to go on their destinations...but it is cooool that Nature is still The Boss! I think a healthy dose of reality isn't bad...!

No amount of technology can keep those huge metal monsters in the sky when Mother Nature demands attention...! Thankfully we're not dealing with a natural disaster comparable to the earth quake in Haiti or China or any other huge human catastrophe so I'm taking the opportunity to enjoy this awesome display of Mother Natures Power...!



We're experiencing the biggest air travel shutdown since World War II and over the past 1,100 years, Eyjafjallajökull has erupted four times: in 920, 1612, between 1821–1823, and in 2010. We're getting to experience something historical...! :) Now that's cool!

The stupidness of an article in the tabloid Aftonbladet yesterday made me shake my head at how ignorant some people are! The title was enough to make me think idiot! "The year is 2010 - how can a stupid clouds create chaos?" he called it and omg! OMG! *rolls eyes* The writer, Oisín Cantwell, concludes that "something wrong with Iceland and something is wrong with today's technology." ...Because they've elected openly gay Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir as their Prime Minister?? I honestly can't believe that that might be the point he was trying to make (!?!) and because we can't control Nature?! We can't blast a ash cloud out of the sky?! What an idiot!

Most people, stuck abroad and having to wait things out or take a bus or train instead of a flight, seem to take this with ease. Yeah it sucks getting stuck, yes it frustrating and a hassle but what can one do? I don't think anyone (not even Oisín Cantwell) would like the planes to fly if there's a increased risk of it falling out of the sky!

What an awesome thing to tell your grandchildren. :) History everyone...!! :D Can't beat it and don't even think about messing with Mother Nature!! ;)

No matter how technologically advanced we'll be we won't have a chance when She moves a mountain or expels molten rock on the earth...

Liar, liar...? ;)

* I'm back today, not Sunday! :)
* The party's cancelled, because Anton's got a tummybug (again! :/)
* Oh! I don't think the history exam went too bad at all...! :D

No party today! :( Missy isn't seeming too bothered about it. Thankfully! :) I'd hate it if both the birthday and the party was a cause for tears...! Anton's already better, he was really only sick on Friday morning... He had a fever on Thursday evening...so possibly fever induced...? Thankfully he's both fever and puke free today! :)

---

I'm feeling a bit...what's the word in English...? ambiguous...(?) about school at the moment. I don't know if my own standards are too high (on myself or school/teachers?) or if something is lacking in the quality of the teaching. I mean...I'm glad I'm not more behind after missing two weeks of school, with barely any time of my own to catch up...but...at the same time I'm puzzled that I'm not...!

I've missed all but 1 or 2 of 5 possibly 6 classes on the history of China and still I'm feeling fairly good about yesterday's exam!? I mean... if I've not really missed anything, what's the point in going to class if I'm not benefitting any from being there...?? Hm!

Psychology is another example... :/ The teacher starts all these interesting things about conflicts and the psychology behind violence and how children deal with a crisis etc and so on but...he never finishes anything!?! For sure...! We start something and then do it for the next class or so until he realises that we've not got all the time in the world so he starts the next thing in a hurry, without rounding off the last subject. Hm...!
I keep hoping that I'll learn something, get an aha-moment or just something, anything...but no! From having had quite high hopes and aspirations on this subject I'm now just aiming for a pass... If it had a worse spot on my schedule I'd drop out of it too, it's in the realm of "too many points" so it'd be no problem, but at the moment I might just as well keep going...

"History of ideas and culture" is just a joke actually but has been from the start so I'm not disapointed over it being the same. It's taught by both the history and psychology teacher, Ms. Whateveryouthink and Mr. Disorgnisedknowitall ...hmmm...!! :[

Philosophy just didn't give me anything so I dropped out of it this week.

Then I've got my Creative Writing and Maths left and there I do feel that I've fallen behind, I can see the benefit of going to each and every class and I look forward going them! :) I'm having to work to catch up and I don't mind doing it! :)

OK, rant over! ;)

Birthday girl

She didn't like the pressies we got her... Little miss E apparently wanted a Tinkerbell doll (?!?) and huge tears rolled down her sweet little face when she didn't get one. Bless...! How are we supposed to know you want a doll if you haven't said so sweetheart...??
And I have asked...! :]

We'll see what we can do to rectify our 'mistake' on Saturday... :)

The tear flow was probably a bit fever induced too because she quite quickly settled with her sparkly hairband. :) Neither panties or the Tinkerbell top was at all interesting.


Early morning Birthday Girl opening her pressie.
(I didn't take any pics of Sad B-day Girl!)

Smiley Erin, with eyes shiny from the fever,
eating a bit of birthday cake. :)


Erin's fever is on day number 4 although she's seeming better tonight, her temperature is lower but still high. If she still has a fever tomorrow I'll have to give the doctor a call.

Fingers crossed she's all better tomorrow! :) My (all grown up? ;)) little sis Anna's coming to stay the night to mind the kiddies all day tomorrow. Erin has to be fever free for 24 h before she's allowed back to nursery and since both Stephen and I just have to be elsewhere Anna's graciously, and after some begging from me ;) , offered to help us out. :)
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

...I'd be truly lost without my Family! ♥

I will report back on Sunday how Birthday Party went and if my History exam on Friday was as huge of a disaster as I'm dreading it will be...!

Blog over a cup of tea...

I posted my grades today and I can now take a short break from my "autumn stress" until it's time to send my grades from this term to complete my application.

Stress over being terribly behind in maths was also lessened by a lot today when I found out I got to postpone next weeks maths exam to when I've "caught up"! :D My teacher almost got a hug when he said that!! *lol* He clarified that I'll not get any length of time to catch up but that I can let him know when I'm "ready"...! :D :D :D

Erin still has a nasty sounding cough and a fever. Stephen was home with her today but he has an appointment tomorrow morning that he can't reschedule so I'll miss my morning classes but hoping to make my afternoon one. *fingers crossed*

Everyone says how difficult it is to be a student when one has children and I mostly disagree...! Being a mom and a student isn't difficult or anything admirable really. Sure, I don't have as much spare time for my own stuff as my fellow "child free" students have but I wouldn't have that even if I was working ('cause staying a home isn't an option for us) so it's really not a issue for me...

The hard part of having children and studying full time is when they're not well...because I miss my classes, it's tricky part and involves some organisational skills to work but...most of the time it does and thankfully our little ones really aren't unwell that often! ;)

Not saying that its easy to be a mom and/or a student, it is hard work! But its not, in my view, extraordinary... :)

Missy's coughing again... :( Poor baby...

Baby...? My baby turns 3 tomorrow!?! :O Three whole years have gone since that awful last part of the pregnancy when I was just beyond fed up and had been since about week 30! :/ ;) I was two weeks over due and I'd been to the hospital for a check up for a head ache that wouldn't budge... We were both just fine and the doctor told me that perhaps the examination would get things started and I didn't dare to hope... I was clinging to the promise that if she hadn't arrived over the weekend I would get induced no later than Tuesday, 5 days later. :)

It did get things started and labor started on Friday about 3 am and she was born 8.40 pm Friday 13th April 2007. It was an amazing experience giving birth to our ray of sunshine. I was so there the whole time, completely unlike what I'd experienced with Anton when I was just...not.

Miss Erin in the hospital "bucket", just a day old.

:) Hope she likes the little pressie from us. :) A tinkerbell top and big girl panties (panties is the only thing she's asked for! *lol*)
We'll have a small Family 'do' for her at the weekend.

Now I'm out of tea and it's time for bed!

Spring...Swedish style! ;)

I thought I'd share some photographic proof of Swedish spring arriving...! :)

We don't have any snowdrops in our garden, they're normally the first little flowers popping out of the melting snow. In our garden the first sign of spring are the purple and yellow crocus that arrived whilst we still had some snow left.

Easter is always a give-away that spring is here and getting our little ones dressed up in their "witchy outfits" (Easter here is our "Halloween" - with the dressing up, bonfires and fire works) makes it feel even more true... :)

Finally; when my favourite weed, the 'tussilago', shows its sunny little face in ditches along the road I know for sure that winter is gone...! Joy! :) Welcome back Spring!

Crocus
My little witches! :D

Edited April 12th to add:
Mad-'bout-his-lawn-neighbour was out mowing the frosty lawn this morning!?! :D :O That must mean we should forget all about spring, since summer's good as here! *lmao*...or perhaps that he's just a bit too keen on getting on things in his garden...! ;)

About the challenge...

it's still on, if you thought otherwise...! ;) I might have slightly gone over this week on my blog-time but not by much...true! Really...! :D Believe me? :) Doesn't matter if you do! ;P My challenge, my rules!! :D

At the end of week two of this challenge (only 3 more to go!) I'm actually feeling much less edgy about the whole "missing out" aspect than I thought I would, than I was a week ago! :)

I do confess that if I didn't have any blog time I'd feel more than a little bit lost...but then again... I wrote a journal, almost daily, for years so I guess I'd do that instead. Then again, I do like the whole sharing thing that happens with a blog unlike with journals. They are a lot more...private... (really!?! *lol*) and therefor a bit "dark" at times. I mean...when something is private, it's an easier venting place and that is good but also a bit...hmm...not good... *lol* Alright, not a wizard with words after a loooong exam day, cut me some slack...ok!? ;)

I still keep a journal...and I do still vent :P but with this blog, and the fact it's "out there" for everyone to read, it sometimes give me the pause that I need to not over-vent... Because, as my faithful followers ;) will know, I do have a few things that just rub me the wrong way that I don't mind sharing my thoughts on! :)

What I mean to say is that having time to reflect on something before one shares it with "the world" is, most of the time, a good thing...! :)

Hmmm...I think I had another point to make but Erin started coughing (poor thing...!) and I lost my train of thought...(she's ok!) that and the fact that I'm now over on next weeks blog-"allowance" so I'm going to have to finish that thought at some other point and sign out and go to bed!

Sweet dreams!
E.

Thanks! :)

...for the good luck thoughts and well wishing! I've now done a preliminary calculation of my score (the proper result will be received in about 4 weeks) and I've got 1.1! :) I'm very pleased, if that is actually correct! :)

1.1 is really good considering I did the exam for the first time today... "They", those in the know, say that one gets the highest score on the third exam...so 1.1 is a very good first-(and for me hopefully only!)-time score. :D

About the score from studera.nu, the website for higher studies in Sweden. (roughly translated!)
"the exam consist of five tests containing 122 data. Each correct answer is given 1 point, 0 points is given for an incorrect or omitted answer. Each correct point gives 1 raw score.

Since the test result is valid for five years, the raw score is converted to a normalised score in order to compare results from different test occasions.

Your performance on the SAT is given on a scale 0.0 - 2.0, a so-called normalised score. Approximately a third of the exam participants score between 0.8 - 1.1, whilst a few score the lowest 0.0 or the highest 2.0."

What a day though...GLAD it's over! :) And happy to have done it... ;) :) Tomorrow I'm going to post my last details to the admissions, or whateveryoucallit, place and then I can exhale and reeelax...hopefully.

I'm seriously considering dropping a few classes after falling a lot behind with the little ones not being well the last few week. I'm really feeling the extra load that it is to study at 125% rather than the normal 100%... ;) :/ :P Seems like philosophy's going "for sure" and I might see if it'd be alright for the psychology teacher if I intentionally don't do my best and sort of just "tag along"...that sucks I know - I might not be able to leave it at that but I really really don't want to drop that class completely either...! :[ A low grade won't do any serious "harm", more that to my pride perhaps. We'll see...

Really chuffed to bits about the possible 1.1! :D

Good evening!

Wish me luck!

OK, getting myself organised for tomorrow's big exam. 8:30-4:30...! I've got my id, my pens, ruler, I've got my "invitation" printed and checking the best bus time right now. I need to pack snacks too, need to keep a steady blood sugar level! ;)

I know some people have spent a great deal of time cramming for this non-cram:able exam, I've just not had any time or I would have too...! :P Not for learning anything new really but for knowing what to expect, how the exam is constructed... I've not been stressing about it, I've been a bit disappointed that I've not found time/peace to practise a little bit but not stressed. Getting a bit nervous right now though...still hoping I'll do OK.

*fingers crossed!*

Wish me luck! Keep me in your thoughts!

Yes! :)

Doing something twice is almost a habit...isn't it?

Well, I've actually heard/read somewhere that to start a new (or change an old habit) you need to do it 21 times...but that's just toooo many times don't ya think? ;P

Any hoot, I'm SO proud of myself right now! :) I have, of my own free will (not 'cause the bus broke down and I had no choice ;)), taken two 45 minute walks in the last 4 days. :) And I turned a short walk home the other day to a little longer one, not because I walked slower but because I chose the longer way...! ;) I think I might have found a good way get rid of some of all that "extra" time! ;) :) :D

Being a couch potato is a hard habit to break so two times (or so) is good, very good...! :)

Tonight's walk was really good, it's almost warm outside! :) I even had the brief but very pleasant company of a hare, a deer and (!) two frogs!?! :D Definitely getting warmer!

Hope this finds you well! Good night and sweet dreams...

Free but frustated...!

This past week with no "stupid-time" ;) online has felt liberating. I really don't have to know what everyone is up too all the time but at the same time I feel frustrated because I don't know what to do with all this "extra" time on my hands...

A huge problem wouldn't you agree...!? ;) Hm! :)

I have been more focused on my schoolwork but then kiddes have been home too with the lingering 'tummy bug'. Nursery is more than just a little bit over-zealous about keeping the bad bugs (i.e. my kids) away....! :[ To the point now that I've e-mailed the Principal to call me next week. :/ Most of the time we all get along fine and the kids love it there and have a good time and good little friends but then something happens and the ability to communicate is just...gone! Infuriating!

I really really really hate conflicts and I try my very best to stear clear of them but when it comes to my children... I am not going to avoid a confrontation...! I need and want to get why certain things are a certain way, if I don't understand (or agree) I'll ask 'til I get an answer that makes some sort of sense. Therefor not meaning that the answer hase to be one that I like...

Since I can't talk to the staff about this last 'issue' I have not other choice but to go the their boss. *sigh*

Hmm...this post wasn't supposed to be about nursery but hey, it works well with the frustrated part! ;)

After reading a few of my favourite blogs and the post I did earlier this week my hour is now up and I'm going...!

Now off to big sis's for a lovely time the the whole "clan" and promise of a (I'm sure!) gorgeous dinner! :)
Happy Easter to us and to all of you!
