Face lift

Finally I'll show a little of what's been going on outside my house all summer long. There's still sand all over the stones that has to stay until the spring, the grass is planted but hasn't come up yet and we are going to put black top on the driveway as soon as spring comes too(have to let the ground settle over the winter).

Outside our front door, I have a lantern I'm going to put next to it but it needs a cleaning after a hard rainy summer.



Two of these are right outside the front door to great you when you come to me for coffee and fun! Welcome!



Two of these too, come on in!



Our amazing circle of stones we put in


Kitchen entrance where our big patio starts


Our car


This is my baby here, in the spring I'm going to plant lots of lovely things in those pots, just wait. The lamps are going now, it's so pretty. In the background you see some of the 192!!! pine trees we put in.



Our backyard where we've put in a small playground and sandbox(huge) for the boys. That's where mommy will sitt and have coffee while they play.

The Drugs Don't Work

Andrew and I are keeping our eyes out for the next Swedish Idol like halv of Sweden right now and Johan blew me away at his first audition. I love his style and went out to search the group of his audition song, here you go! I love it and am now going to listen some more to them. It's been a long time since I had the calm and inspiration to find new music.
The Verve


Same song, Richard Ashcroft


T, I'm expecting rave reviews from you darling

EDIT: A friend told me this was aready played to death on the radio, just goes to show my life right now haha. I have never heard it before!!

Not just any day...

It's Guccis birthday!!
Today he's 2 years old my little sweetie pie! I made him a doggy cake with liverwurst and ham and dogtreats, he loved it!
I took some great pics outside today but for now it's doggy time!

Love shine a light

Great weekend! Wonderful! Two birthday celebrations, great food, red wine, SLEEP!!, and lot's of cuddles.
Today we ran and bought some fall flowers to plant, I might get some pics tomorrow and show, it looks real nice outside. For now I'll just show some old pics I've taken recently.

Here's the new curtains in our bedroom, the really look nice(and yes I have now bought new plants to replace the dead two in the window)


Here's Noahs beautiful room! Still some final touches to be added but it's lovely in there.



Here's two lamps I'm getting ready to order for his room, adorable!



Last but not least, Andrew and Noah cuddling, Noah loves Andrew to bits.

Fuck yeah

This whole past spring and summer Kyle and I have gone around and said things like "Fuck yeah" , "What, it's a job" and "Green apples, fuck yeah". Yeah you get it. Kyle had such trouble with it he said Fuck yeah to everything haha, his whole school class started saying it and didn't know why. Kyle worked this summer at a convention and apparently said it without thinking to people he shouldn't. I know, so imature. We then put this funky accent on it, like a wining girl. So funny, in the worst of moods or discutions someone can say, Fuck yeah, and we break out laughing.
Here's mine and Kyles humor, enjoy! It's the source of our summer fun:

We've seperated

Yes, Fredrik and I! Seperate bedrooms that is. Three nights ago we started "Operation sleep all night without breastfeeding" for Noah. I have moved in to Gabriels bedroom and Gabriel in to mine(he's totally loving that). The first night Noah woke up a few times and even got a bottle in the middle of the night. The second night he slept an hour or two in his own bed and then made it thru the night without eating but sleeping with daddy. Third night, he slept from about 8pm until 1am in his own bed!! Fredrik went and got him and they continued sleeping thru the night. All of this I'm blissfully unaware of because I'm sleeping!! Fredrik comes in around 6.30 with Noah to feed and then Fredrik sleeps for another hour. Noah is showing absolutely no signs of having a hard time, he's just accepted that his human passy isn't there. AWESOME!! Him and I then have the greatest morning cuddle, I love it!



We'll see how it goes, last night was the best night in a long time. We actually hung out in the livingroom, dogs cuddling us and just relaxed for several hours. We don't demand much to call it luxury:)

Hold your fingers!


(Red eyes I know, but he's so darn cute)

Rock machine

What a day! We are so awesome, Noah, the dogs and me. Woke up and decided on a long walk and got ready to go. Headed to F at work, about 5km from here. Walked pretty fast and made it in time for a cup of coffee. After giving my body a chock start we got a ride home. Made it just in time for my friend to come and we hade a delicious sallad lunch. After that I got about a one hour break, well sure my little terrorist was running around but at least I got coffee again. After that it was time for the next happening, Gabriels soccer practice. Kyle is working off some hours here so he kept Noah and Gabriel, the dogs and I headed for practice. COLD!! but nice. Got home in time for a quick dinner and now F is up putting the boys to bed. I seriously need to get pics of all the stuff I want to sell! But first, Idol and coffee again.

This is what it looks like when we head out for our walks, pic is not from today but a few weeks ago.

(The little dog bed under is for Jake, after a few km he gets tired and rides under the stroller, soooo cute)

And here's Swedens cutest soon to be 1 yr old

Time to sell

I was in my laundry room today digging through the dogs things and Noahs clothes. I have loads to get pics of and put out on our auction site here. Designer clothes that I buy for Noah. No reason to keep them since they're hot now and I can make some good money on them. Same with the dogs stuff, mommy wants to buy new stuff:)

Some stuff like this:




And for Noah it's Nova Star and KikKid time! Absolutely love there clothes! I just have to sell some of his old Molo, KikKid and lots of other designer stuff. Let me know if you need any cute dog stuff or boys clothes(56-74)!

Nervous wreck

I'm seriously in a constant state of stress! I eat trying to hold a cranky Noah down in his highchair since he has learned to climb out of it. I go to the bathroom with him and two dogs at my feet, I do laundry and cook with him climbing on everything! And he never sleeps. He refuses to go to sleep in the evenings and when he finally does around 11pm he wakes up at least every 15 minutes looking for my breasts.

I don't think my man believs me when I say I'm about to committ myself to the looney bin but it's true.

I have even tried to talk F into taking some of our parent days. That's bad, I kind of don't want to go back to my job either...stress stress stress...help.

Challenged!

I never get challenged, first time by Anna and I thought it would be fun so here goes!


5 things in my freezer:

* Frozen berries

* Vegetables

* Bread

* Meat

* Ice maker

5 things in my wardrobe:

* My Gucci and Coach bag (= Love)

I would do pics but I'm to lazy to google right now;) I now challenge all my friends I know visit my blog often. Come on gals, let me into your wardrobes. Feel free to translate back to swedish!

Sweet 16

Today is Kyles 16th birthday! 16 years ago today I delivered this boy with an emergancy c-section. Hard on the way out but then he turned out to be the calmest, most content little baby you ever saw in your life. Just an adorable beloved baby.

I was 17 when I became pregnant and my mother was 36 yrs old when I made her a grandmother! Do any of you people know how shockingly close to my own age that is!!??!!



Since we bought him an Ipod I gave it to him last night so he could prepare it with music for his trip to Jönköping today. He's going to work the convention over the weekend. We then woke him up this morning with breakfast in bed.
Noah and I even met him in town for lunch after he got out of school. We had such a nice time, lunch then some shopping for him. He got 2 pairs of jeans and some shoes.


Kyle like most boys his age, loves technical stuff. Pc's, stereos, tv's, mp3's, dj equipment and so on. Here's some pics from his first gig at his 9th grade prom. Of course I snuck in to take pics *proud* (with his permission, who wants to be an embaressing mom). He works hard my son, he buys all this stuff himself, you should se his room.






One good looking boy


Happy Birthday my son, I love you

(All pics ok'd by K for publishing)

Here we go again

Yep, Shopping!
I have to go to the doctors for a papschmere(cellprover), which sucks. After that thought it's shopping time! My sweet friend K is watching Noah while I'm getting my check up and then we are going to town! We have a list of things to do and not alot of time so we need to be active.
Birthday gifts
Flowers
Lunch of course
Our favorite childrens store has to be visited since we have a good coupan;)
And then we'll see.

Blessed Noah, be nice. Blessed Noah, be nice (I'm chanting)

Eyes..

Sorry, have to take an insert in some Swedish. Ignorant people and there relatives just tick me off! It's these idiots that I get so mad at and ruin daycare days for others.
You don't send you children to daycare, or have them out among other children when they have infectious illnesses! Period! Such as:
Fever- this one is for the childs best comfort
Runny _green_ nose
Lice
Flu-Magsjuka
Eyeinfection!!
Since people still don't see there own wrong or get there children help but make sure to get themselves help within 12 hours of getting sick just makes me wonder why they have children!!
Then turn there own jealousy around to justify there stupidity really gets my goat!!

So now to swedish for the idiots, now it's not just me telling you your wrong it's even the Swedish medical help telling you!
**Jag sätter sjtärnor på det viktigast**
Och nej det är inte bara öga till öga smittning, det krävs inte en geni att förstår att barn kliar sig, leker med saker, andra barn leker med dem och så är smittan en fakta. Samma om man är ute och handlar mat, yuk! Man har kliat sig själv i ögonen, sen tar på varor i mataffärer och sen kommer nästa och köper. Dubbel yuk, tänk bara på alla färskvaror.

Ögonfluss / ögoninflammation
ögonfluss och information om denna sjukdom:

"Ögoninflammationer hos barn / Vad kan man göra själv?
Reviderad: 2007-12-18

Går ofta över inom en vecka
Det är vanligt med ögoninflammationer hos barn, ofta i samband med en virusinfektion som förkylning. Ögonvitan blir röd och irriterad och det rinner kladdig vätska, som oftast är gulaktig, från ögat. Vanligtvis ser ögat svullet ut. För det mesta läker det inom en vecka utan behandling. Ögoninflammation smittar lätt.

Barn kan också få inflammation i ögonen av andra orsaker. Det kan bero på en allergisk reaktion eller att barnet skadat eller fått skräp i ögat. Inflammationen är ett sätt för kroppen att försvara sig.


Kan barnet gå till förskolan?
Barn som har ögoninflammation med röda ögon och lite kladdigt sekret i samband med en lindrig förkylning behöver inte vara hemma från förskolan om de mår bra för övrigt. Barn som går på förskola ska vara så pigga att de orkar delta i alla aktiviteter. Barn med allergibesvär i ögonen behöver inte heller vara hemma.

****Barnet bör stanna hemma om ögat är varigt
Om barnets öga klibbar ihop och man måste torka var ur ögonen flera gånger per dag har barnet en kraftig infektion. För det mesta är båda ögonen irriterade och det kan komma var. Barnet bör då vara hemma från förskolan dels för att det är smittsamt, dels för att barnets öga måste tvättas flera gånger per dag. Barnet kan gå tillbaka till barngruppen när den kraftiga inflammationen har läkt och ögat inte är varigt längre.****

****Ögoninfektionen smittar lättast bland små barn eftersom de leker så nära varandra. Smittan sprids bland annat när barnet gnuggar sig i ögonen och sedan tar på leksaker eller på andra barn. Skolbarn har inte samma närkontakt men vid en kraftig ögoninfektion kan de ändå behöva vara hemma om ögonen är irriterade.****

Tvätta ögat med vatten
Om barnet har var i ögonen är det bra att tvätta rent ögat så ofta det behövs med vanligt vatten. Använd en kompress eller bomull och tvätta utifrån yttre ögonvrån mot den inre.

Var noga med handhygienen
För att förebygga ögoninfektioner är det bra att vara noggrann med att tvätta händerna om många i omgivningen är förkylda. Det är också bra om man både hemma och i förskolan byter handdukar ofta.

Nyfödda barn
Det är vanligt att nyfödda barn har gulaktigt sekret i ögonen, vilket beror på att de har trängre tårkanaler än äldre barn och vuxna. Tvätta rent ögat från den yttre ögonvrån mot den inre med en kompress eller bomullstuss som är fuktad med ljummet kranvatten eller koksaltlösning.

******Man kan behöva kontakta vården
Ögoninflammationer som inte har gått över på en ***vecka*** kan behöva behandlas med antibiotika. Man kan kontakta vårdcentralen. Om barnet börjar behandlas med antibiotika smittar det inte längre och kan då gå till förskolan.*******

Man bör inte vänta med att kontakta vårdcentralen om barnet har en mycket kraftig inflammation och det bildas mycket var. Detsamma gäller om barnet är känsligt för ljus eller har svårare förkylningsbesvär. Om barnet har svåra besvär i bara det ena ögat och man misstänker att barnet kan ha skadat ögat bör man inte heller vänta med att ta kontakt.

Om ett nyfött barn har en kraftig ögoninflammation bör man kontakta barnavårdscentralen, BVC.

Lazy

I just did some internet grocery shopping. I really thought when my adress was aproved that I would shop there always. It's not that simple. To do big time shopping it takes an hour or so, if not interupted, or like tonight 4-5 hours. I still think I missed a bunch of stuff. I wanted to check out some of my low carb books to get some good ideas but I didn't make it, just sort of winged it. Oh well, all the heavy stuff is being delivered and that's luxury.

This is the way it looks when it all comes to my door


Todays mom point to me!
If I don't get my shower before Fredrik leaves for work that usually means Noah is joining me. The little monkey crawls around, get's into the shower, get's wet and makes a mess and so on. Today I got him! He now has the worlds most expensive playpen. I threw him in the jacuzzi while I showered. Those of you whom have been to my house know what the master bath looks like, it was perfect! He was happy and played with all the bottles and I took a relaxing shower with him in full view!

Cuddly pics

Some cute pics of my boys, some of them anyways

Fredrik came home from Jönköping at about 10.30pm and imediately satt at his pc for more work!



I on the other hand continued cuddling with my little boys






Message from Jake:
I keep hearing mommy talk about cutting and snipping family jewels. Well she aint getting mine! I'm guarding them with my life! Viscious!!

Bored to bits

Life is what you make of it some would say but I don't know. Rain, rain rain and I don't feel too well. Sick to my stomach all day. Fredrik and Kyle were in Jönköping building our huge stands for the convention this week and weekend and Andrew had a soccer game. Noah, Gabriel and I just hung out today.

I did have a nice chat with Anna , dogs and girl gossip. Hope you are having a better day tomorrow and that all goes well with your grandparents. Here's a special hug for you

(Not my pic, I borrowed it but so adorable)

Anyways, Jake is sitting here wanting a cuddle and I'm more than happy to put the pc away and just love on them since F is home now and taking care of Noah.
Good night!

Shopping marathon

Boy did we shop today! Finally , finally we bought curtains. F and I as usual have totally different taste but it was pretty painless. I was out for white curtains for the livingroom but we bought black. We got curtains for the kitchen, diningroom, livingroom and our bedroom. I took a few pics but it's dark now so more to come later.
I even got some new Rönisch work out clothes and F got new shoes, again. Bought a couple of new serving bowls at Indiska too.
This has to be the first time ever that we went a whole day in town and did not have a coffee and cake break. We actually took a sallad lunch!
Anyways, here's a few pics just to show some of what it looks like here

Diningroom


Our new painting in the staircase, the vase is new too!


And last but not least for today, Gabriel has started on a soccer team. Both him and I are trying to move more. Him I encourage through fun and healthy snacks. He's so proud to play soccer!

Source of inspiration


I saw Ricki recently on Rachael Ray, do you know what she said!?! She said: I always used the excuse that I'm big boned, that even when I lose weight I'm still a big girl. But I was wrong.
She's now a size 4!! About a Swedish 36/38.

She stold my quote, just so you know, that's what I always say!

Anyways, Thank You for all your encouraging comments and support! I really really appreciate them. Lots of hugs n kisses

So right

Forest says: Stupid is as stupid does! I so agree, and would like to add: Ignorant is as ignorant does. Halleluja

Anyways! Here I go! Started my new life two days ago. Time to lose some serious weight. I'm doing ok but if you had any idea how sugardependant I am, you'd feel so sorry for me. My new low carb diet however is adament, nooooo sugar! More like torture treatment if you ask me but ok, I'm giving it a try. I have had a few minor relapses.
I'm even attempting to move my shaking machine. Yesterday I took about a 8-9km walk, would have been longer if the major rain storm didn't make me give up and call Fredrik. Poor Noah was getting soaked.

That being said, I put up a few goals. I'm pretty good a rewarding myself so here's a few ideas.

-10 kg- Hair extentions, I want one chance to see if I'm supposed to be a long flowing hair goddess and my hair's not cooperating with me.

-15 kg- New clothes of some kind

-20kg- Not sure yet, I'll let you know

and so on and so on

Goal weight(no I'm not telling you now how much that means I need to lose) is going to be new boobies, breasts, jellybeans and however else you want to say it! 75C, here I come!

I have an absolutely beautiful striped suit in my closet from the last time I lost weight, swedish size 44. That might not be small for some people but for me it's HUGE! I would love for that suit to be a little too big.

Wish me luck!!
