Good girl

I overslept. I thought I woke up at 7 am but I woke up at 8 am. Good girl.

Yesterday I finally got a letter! He got moved so that's why I got my letters back. But now I have the right adress. I was so happy to finally hear from him.

I went and got a appointment for my next tattoo yesterday. July 1! I can't wait! And of course it's from a song by Linkin Park. What else?

Today it's the breakfast group. After that I'm getting my nails done. And then I need to buy Leo some new hoodies. I hope I get home before he does.

A great call

Last night when I was watching tv the phone rang. It was a number i didn't recognize so I didn't answer. Then another call from the same number so I answered. It was Dan! We got to talk for 8 minutes! That's a long time when you think about what it costs to call from USA to Sweden.

Today I need to do laundry since Leo is coming home! I need to wash his pants. I was to tired yesterday from spending saturday at the basketball cup for 13 hours. Maja and I spent the whole day yesterday watching tv. All I did was to wash her game clothes.

Fuck fuckety fuck

I am so disappointed. I was gonna come today but he is sick. So no I for me.

I got another letter yesterday. This one is a bit better and he is feeling a lot better now. I was so happy! He was so sweet in this letter. I was so happy to get another letter so soon.

Yesterday was great. We went down town to meet up with my aunt so the kids could pick out a birthday present. Maja of course picked out a book, and Leo picked out a My Little Pony. Two happy kids. Then we had coffee and the kids had ice cream.

Today I'm getting my windows cleaned. I got it as a birthday present from my aunt. I don't do windows. They look worse when I'm done with them than they did before I started. But first of all I'm going on a power walk.

It finally came!

Good morning! I took a break again, got nothing to write about.

Yersterday I was at my grandmothers funeral. It was very beautiful.

When I got home after I had a letter from Dan! Finally! I have lost count of how long ago it was. He is not doing so good at the moment. But I'm hoping that will change once he has his last court date and can finally start counting down until his release.

Today is cleaning day. I'm changing the bed sheets and are gonna clean the whole house. Fun fun fun. When Maja comes home from school we are gonna go down town to meet up with my aunt. Maja is gonna get to pick a present.

I got to talk to him!

Wow, I haven't written in a few days. But there haven't been anything to write about.

Thursday I went home to my friend Linda. We ended up partying until 5 am the next morning. We had so much fun and it was just what I needed. Leo was with his dad an Maja was with my mother.

Yesterday I was on the couch wathing tv when the phone rings. It was Dan! And we have our system for him calling so I hung up thinking that was it. He called one time to show me that he's thinking about me. But nooo, he called again! So I got to talk to him for 4 sweet minutes. It was great to hear his voice again, it has been almost a year since I last got to talk to him. He will keep me updated on his case so I hope he will call me again.

The reason he haven't sent any letters is because they have stopped selling stamps. Don't know why. So as soon as he gets any he will send me the three letters he has written me. I was so happy he called that I couldn't stop smiling.

Today we are going home to my mom to spend easter there. Maja will come home with us when we leave there. It has been a great two days just me but now I'm ready to get my kids home. To bad Leo isn't coming until monday.

9 long weeks

I love it when the kids are on break from school. Not having to get up att 6 am is great! Today I slept until 8.45 am. But I woke up at 2 answered a text from I and then went back to sleep.

The sun is finally shining today. After days of rain and grey skies it's sunny again. It makes it a whole lot easier to go to the store later to get something for dinner.

Yesterday I posted a letter to Dan. It was monday but I didn't get a letter from him. It's been nine weeks now. But at least he called last tuesday so I know that he is ok. But now it's gonna be a long wait until next monday. 10 weeks by then.

A typical morning

He called!

It was hard getting up this morning. But then the phone rang. It was my dad, my grandmother has past away in her sleep.

Yesterday was such a great day. Dan called! We have a system for him calling. If he phones one time it is to tell me that he misses me and thinks of me. And if he calls back to back he wants to talk and I should answer. This time he called once. But at least he calls.

Today I'm going to get my nails fixed. My cousin should have come too but she has a migraine and can't come. So I have to go alone. But it will be great getting them fixed finally. They look terrible.

About that letter

Nope I didn't get a letter yesterday. Damn. Maybe he, for some reason, stopped writing? I'm starting to think so.

Breakfast group today and I don't feel like it one bit. But since I have to go to this thing before the breakfast group I might as well go there too.

After that it's time for grocery shopping as usual, we are having pasta I think. Then it's back home to do nothing while I'm waiting for the kids to get home. Maybe we'll play a game when they get home. While I'm waiting I think I'm gonna play some WoW.

On the bus

Maybe today

It was hard getting up this morning, I went to bed late. But I got up at 7 am as I should.

Today Leo is coming home! How I have missed him. I need to put on clean bed sheets on his bed and do laundry and wash all of his pants. And then I'm ready for him to come home.

Besides that there isn't much to do at home. I need to think of something to eat. I'm thinking pasta. Or chicken. I hate this. Why can't they just invent a pill you take insted of food? That would be great.

Monday today and I could get a letter from Dan. I hope so. It has been 8 weeks and I'm worried about him. But I don't wanna get my hopes up. But I can't help myself, of course I'm hopping that I will get a letter.

Getting worried

Nope, no letter and Lilith is worried. Haven't heard from him in 7 weeks now and that's not how it usually is. So now it's a long wait until next monday. Don't think I will get a letter then.

I have the breakfast group today. I'm gonna walk there, it takes about 40 minutes. So when I'm done here I'm off. I have already showered and put on make up so I'm ready to go. The only thing left is to think of something for dinner so I know what I need to buy.

This afternoon I will try to get the kids to play some board games. Unless they wanna go outside and play, the weather is great. I didn't clean the balcony yesterday, I was to busy cleaning the toilet after Leo being sick. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

Getting ready for spring

The kids school are closed today so I slept in a bit. Until 10 am. Nice.

Monday today and I wonder if I'm getting a letter from Dan. Haven't gotten one in 7 weeks now so I'm starting to worrie a bit about him. It's not like him. So we'll see today. I'm not getting my hopes up. I will just be disapointed.

What else? Cleaning and laundry as usual. I'm gonna scrub the toilet today after Leo being sick. Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom. That's how fun my life are at the moment.

Need to go to the store as well. We are having swedish waffles for dinner so I have to buy more jam. We are almost out of it. But it will be nice to go out in this nice weather. I'm thinking of cleaning the balcony and get it ready for spring.

It's finally time!

I had so much trouble sleeping last night. Couldn't fall a sleep and when I did I had weird dreams and then woke up. I think I woke up 5 times during the night. So I'm nog a happy girl today.

Me and my cousin are going to get our nails done today. Yey! Mine look like crap now so it was about time. That's the only girlie girl thing I do, my nails. While she gets hers done I'm gonna look after her youngest, she is such a little prinsess.

After that I have a home that want's my attention, as usual. Cleaning when you have kids and cats is like shoveling snow while it's still snowing. Need to think of something to eat, as usual. And I need to do laundry, as usual.

I didn't get a letter yesterday, I always gets them on mondays for some reason. It have has to do with sorting of air mail. It has been 5 weeks now since his last letter and I'm starting to worry. Maybe his trial didn't go well and he feels to depressed to put pen to papper. I'm gonna mail him a letter today or tomorrow.

A great weekend

The movie yesterday was great! But it was kind of long, over 2 hours. But it was mostly like the book and we like that. We had pizza before the movie and I mailed a letter to my friend on the way. I texted me while I was there so I missed talking to him and say good night, that sucks.

When I got home Mob Wives had finally been posted online so I could watch it. I love that show. It was worth waiting for.

Today me and my little brother are going out partying. I love him so, so much. We have a bond I don't have with anybody else and he always makes me laugh a lot. Like a lot, a lot. He makes me laugh until my stomach hurts and I can't take any more. And then he'll make me laugh a bit more. I don't know if Kalle is coming to. We'll see. I'm just glad I get to spend some time with my little brother. That don't happen as much as I want to.

But we aren't meeting up until late, 9 pm. Yes, that's late when you have kids haha. So before that I'm gonna shower and watch yesterdays episode of The Vampire Diaries. Since it's just me home I don't have anything I need to do but the usual cleaning.

Keep on walking (and reading)

Lilith got a letter yesterday. Yey! So happy. And so surprised since it was tuesday. But there were a lot of mail that I only get on  mondays so I guess they didn't come then. Strange. But happy! He is doing ok and that makes me happy. It was such a hopeful letter.

Today it's, as always, time for my 6 km powerwalk. I can't wait until the snow is gone and I can start running. But until then I'll keep on walking. I hate every second of it but it has to be done.

Then it's time for the grocery store. I need to figure something out for dinner. I only got one thing yesterday so I need something for today. I will have to go through my recipes to find something. Anything. God, I hate cooking. Gonna mail a letter while I'm there as well.

Then home, have a shower and do some cleaning. And wait for the kids to come home. Yesterday they were out plaing in the snow all afternoon and came in in time for dinner. So I started reading a new serie of books. So far so good, I'm on the second book. It's Night World by L.J. Smith. I need to start buying more books because I'm almost out of them. Maybe we'll do some online shopping after the kids have come home.

Books, books, books

My friend Dan

I got a question in a comment about my friend that I write letters to. How he ended up where he is, how we got to know each other and that sort of thing. And I realise that I haven't told you about.

To begin with, his name is Dan, and I guess you have figured that one out. We got to know each other on the internet many years ago and have had contact on and off. The last year it has been a very close contact where we have talked to each other everyday from when he got up in the mornig until I went to bed. Where he lives in the USA they are 6 hours behind here in Sweden.

Then one day he just disappeared. He got kicked out from the house where he lived and also lost his job. They don't have the same laws to protect you from that like we have in Sweden. he tried to find a new place to stay but couldn't, and no shelter either. They were all full. Then we lost contact and almost didn't talk to each other, depending on when he could charge his phone.

Then he disappeared completely. After a while I found out that he was in jail. When you got nothing you do what you have to, to survive. I also got the adress to the jail where he was so I wrote him a letter and a couple of weeks later I got one back, and since then we have been writing to each other. I write a little every day, he seems to like to hear about my everyday life even tho I think it's boring. I get a letter from him every 3-4 weeks, and for some reason I always get them on mondays.

Lilith loves sleep

Wow, I must have been tired. Fell asleep before 11 pm and woke up at 11 am. 12 hours! That's the good thing with just Maja home, I can sleep. Leo makes a lot more noice so he usually wakes me up somewhere around 9 or 10 am.

We have no plans for today, which is both nice and makes me restless. I haven't decided yet if I'm going on a powerwalk or not yet. Maja is so big that she can be alone for an hour while  I'm out. But it would be nice with a day in my pyjamas just doing nothing but some laundry.

Maja is as usual playing on her tablet and when I asked her what she wanted to do she just said nothing. That kid is so easy. Give her her tablet and a book and you won't know she is there. Maybe we'll play some board games. Or maybe I'll prepare some blog posts, I really should.

What I do know is that as usual I will write some in my letter to my friend. And hoping to get a letter from him on monday. Don't know why I'm getting them on only mondays. Have to do something with sorting the mail from overseas. He still hasn't called yet, which makes me both happy and sad. I want him to call, but it don't have to wanna talk english. It makes me nervous and I start to stutter. So the only thing I'm gonna say is yes, no and maybe. But I miss his voice.

Handwritten letters <3

Fuck fuckety fuck

At 4 am my phone started ringing. Four! But considering the different time zones he's allowed to call at that time. The problem was that I couldn't hear if the automatic voice said to press one or five to connect the call so I pressed five. It was wrong. So  no call for Lilith, just a sleepless night. I managed to get back to sleep 15 minutes before I was getting up. Wheee!

Leo got ill yesterday. I guess it was his turn after me and Maja being sick. So no school for that mister today. And he wanted to sleep in his mommys bed, and of course you can when you are sick. Lucky he didn't wake up from the phone and me turning the light on.

My plan for today is to nap! And to drink a lot of coffee to get me through the day. A trip to the grocery store is on the list of things to do today also. Need to get something for dinner and to mail the letter where I explain why his call got rejected.

He just have to keep on calling until I figure out which number to pick to connect the call. The only thing I do not look forward to is to speak english. The only thing I will say will be; yes, no and maybe.

One sick little guy
