Girlfriends over

I guess it's about time I update this blog huh ...so what's new ?
I had my girlfriends over on Saturday night and that was fun. We had dinner and then we just talked and talked and talked all night long like us woman do : ) Linda dropped some big news. She's pregnant!!! It's so exciting ! I can't believe she hasn't said anything for the longest time! I think she's due in the beginning of April. Man are we going to spoil that kid ! It's to bad she lives so far away from here.
We had another drama during the night. Marie had a cold and sounded like she had asthma and during dinner she gets worse and worse so we had to call the hospital and ask for advise. Of course she had to come in and get some medicine. So she left little Dexter with us and he slept in Nina's arms the whole time Marie was gone. Such a cutie. Marie could luckily breath again when she came back so we could all stop worrying. What a night huh?

Picture time

Don't feel much like writing today so I'll share some photos...

I decided that I wanted the Tv on the wall instead

so handy man J got right to work : )

I didn't even have to say it over and over again

Very strange...

This is how good it turned out ! So much better!

Even though I didn't see a smile through the whole time J

was working I'm pretty sure he's happy too : )

Now he just have to arrange the cords as well but that can wait

a few days I think ...

We're waiting for the first steps...in the meantime

the dolly gets a ride all over the house

Norah in Leas bed

Such a wonderful day in the sun

My weekend

My weekend...

Hours J spent in front of the computer : probably 20 ! ( if you wonder why I haven't blogged )

Hours Frida was away : Also about 20, she spent Saturday at a friends house and then they wanted to have a sleep over.
The house is strangely quiet when she's not around.

Minutes I spent waiting for chinese food to get ready : 40 !!! They said ready in 15 minutes but so not true!

Minutes I spent complaining over the fact that I waited 40 minutes plus being mad about getting the wrong food when I came home and looked in the bag : Probably 10 or so I'm not a very angry person : )

Times our dog through up : 1

Times Norah turned our dogs water bowl upside down : 3

Movies I watch : 1 1/2 , Tatuerad Torso and some crap film on TV that I only watched first half of before falling asleep.

People we visited : My sister for some pie and a game of soccer on Tv

People's hair I colored and cut : 1

Minutes spent in the garden : 0

Hope you all had a good weekend !

Nice realxing bath....yeah right

Last night I wanted to take a nice relaxing hot bath, light a candle , close my eyes and just be. And I did for about 3 minutes. J came up and said he was taking the dog for a walk and left Norah with me. In seconds my nice relaxing bath turned into a circus. No Norah don't touch the toilet brush, no Norah don't touch the candle holder, ooppps my fancy magazine in a thousand pieces....and so on. So I gave up and stepped out of the tub.
But hey those 3 minutes were great !

My turn to get sick

I've caught a cold , I so don't want to be sick right now. I hope I don't give it to Norah who just got better from her last cold.
I feel very sorry for my self when I'm sick. I told J I needed some love and care and he looked at me and said - now ? You want me to get sick too? So loving my man ! For all you men out there ....when your woman isn't feeling well just give her some love !!!

Work day

Sunday and working day in the neighborhood. We have spring and autumn clean up where we live. Everyone is suppose to help out and make sure green areas and children's playgrounds look ok. This only happens twice a year but in our house hold no none really wants to do this so it's a struggle every time.
Today J and Frida went out and I'm staying home with Norah who luckily needed to take her afternoon nap. No one is happier then me right now: ) I just can't tell J that cause he didn't look to happy when he left. Oh well it's only a few hours and they serve hot dogs for everyone so they don't have to work hungry : )
So what am I doing when they are working and Norah is taking a nap you might wonder ? Well I'm surfing the net , having a piece of the chocolate cake that I made this morning and just enjoying life! I guess after J reads this I will have to make an appearance at spring cleaning day !

Parents and stuff

It was the longest parent meeting ever ! Started at 6 and I was back home at 8.45! It was so boring at the end that I could have fallen asleep.
There was a nice mix of parents....everything from the know it all to my child is the best : ) Fun to watch and listen to theses people. Of course there were lots of really nice parents there as well. Now we are divided into 4 different groups that will be responsible for Christmas parties and other events during the school year. I'm so not into these things but I guess you have to be a happy helper.
Norah has slept all through the night 2 nights in a row now. For the first time in 10 months I feel rested! I sure hope this will continue. I'm like a new person. Woo Hoo !

Baby cafe'

I went with Norah to a thing called the baby cafe' today and she absolutely loved it. It's a place where you can go meet other people with kids in the same age. 0-12 months. I think that's great. You can have a cup of coffee and talk with adults that share the same kind of life with small kids right now. It's every Tuesday so I think I will try to go every week while she's small enough. She's 10 months now so it wont be long before we celebrate her first birthday! Time just fly by.
Frida brought a new friend home from school today. It's fun to see how she interact with new friends. Seems to be going good with this one. Normally she and her very best friend Em hang out all the time so I think it's good that she play with some other kids as well.
I'm going to my first parent meeting at school tomorrow. Sounds so grown up : ) It's going to be interesting to see what the other parents are like. Hope for some fun characters...

Headache today

The weekend is over and back to Monday again. I've had a really bad headache all day today so I'm going to go to bed early tonight. Probably right after I've finished writing this. We went to a Rottweiler dog show on Saturday. The rain was poring down as usual so we didn't stay to long but it was fun to see all the gorgeous dogs. Rottweiler's are such great dogs. After that Frida and I went to watch her cousin Daniel play ice hockey while Norah and J took a nap. They lost the game but it was fun to chit chat with my sister and see Daniel play. He's a goal keeper and pretty good I must say. You would think we live in England from how much it's raining this year. I'm fed up with this and wish I could just get on an airplane and go somewhere warm and sunny and lovely and far far away from here....

Related ?

Finally Friday...and the weekend to look forward to. Haven't planned much since Norah still isn't feeling well. She's been stuck on my arm the last couple of days. Life is a roller coaster you just have to ride it .....as Ronan Keating sang a few years ago. Very true ! One weekend we're at a fancy wedding , next weekend I'm carrying around a screaming baby all day long. Normally such a little bundle of love but right now a monster with a bad cold : )

Swedish Idol started this week and with a new jury. Has anyone noticed how much Andreas looks like Mac in csi New York ? They must be related ! Just look at these pictures and see ....am I right or what ? Mac on the top right and Andreas on lower right or is it ....?

New Idol ?

Idol starts a new season tonight ! I love that program. I hope this year will be just as entertaining as previous years has been. Here's maybe one of the contestants a few years from now : )

Norah with the red nose

J's mom turned 60 yesterday so we went over to their house for some coffee and cake. Norah wasn't feeling so well so we didn't stay to long. She has a cold so her nose is constantly red now. The lack of sleep is starting to effect my mood now. I guess J is the one to get the worst of that, poor thing . A whole night sleep is that to much to ask for ?

Frida really enjoys first grade. She's starting to learn how to read but isn't quite there yet. She slowly puts the letters together and make the sound and when you think she's got it she just guesses a word ....so the reading code is yet to be solved : ) She's much better at math. That comes really easy to her. She should be home soon. They only have school till 13.30. She has soccer practice today so I hope it wont rain to bad this afternoon. Next Wednesday is the last practice out doors. Then they start to play indoors. Can't wait ! It seems to rain every Wednesday so indoors is very welcome now !

The wedding

Now they are Mr. and Mrs. Lundblad ! What a wonderful wedding. The bride was wearing a beautiful dress by Oscar De La Renta that was just breathtaking. It was very romantic and they just glowed with love all day long. The dinner was taking place at the castle and was fabulous of course. Great food and wines and lots of fun speeches. After dinner a band was playing and it turned in to a fantastic party ! For sure one of the best weddings we have ever been to. Unfortunately we forgot our camera so you will have to wait for pictures. I'll ask someone if I can take copies. So sooner or later I'll post some pictures on the blog. I was so tired when we came back home yesterday. I was looking forward to getting to bed early and having a good night sleep but Norah had other plans. She's been so fussy all night long and woke up pretty much every other hour. She has a bit of a cold so I guess that bothers her. So I'm still super tired this morning and I guess I will be for the rest of the day. I will just have to hang in there ! Normally Norah wakes up at 5.45 every single morning like an alarm clock. Every morning ! When I phoned my sister on Sunday morning to hear how the kids were doing she told me Norah woke up at 8.30 . 8.30 !!! Why doesn't she ever sleep till at least 8 when she's at home ! It's just not right !
