Shit happens

What a bad start this day was. Up when the alarm went off and wake up Leo so he has time for a shower before school. Then back in to the bedroom to wake up J. Curl up close to him and I fall a sleep! I wake up when he gets up to get a shower and thinking that I will only stay one more minute, falls back to sleep and wakes up 7.30 am. Then there was no time to sit at the computer. Since J was in the shower I couldn't get ready then so I rolled a pack of cigarets while I waited. When he was done I got in there and made myself ready and then it was time to go.

After my internship I took the bus to the grocery store, then home to start get everything done. A never ending job. Once you are done it's time to start all over again. But now I'm waiting for the laundry to be done so I can hang it and then I'm done for today. I should vaccum but it has to wait until tomorrow. I'm always the most tired on tuesdays for some reason so when the laundry is done I'm gonna curl up on the couch under the blanket for a while.

Later there isn't much to do. The usual with cooking and doing the dishes. Oh how I long for a dishwasher. I'm so tired of doing the dishes. And it doesn't get any better when you are short and has to stand in some weird position, my back doesn't like that. It's worst when I do the dishes after dinner when there are so many thing, after breakfast it's not that much and goes fast. Not to mention how dry my hands are since I suck at using hand lotion.

Misunderstanding

I had totaly misunderstood everything yesterday. It was Girls 04 that went on to the playoffs and Maja played with Girls 05. But the whole team were there to cheer them on, and cheered them on to a silver. Maja called me and told me that Girls 04 had made it to the finals. And as I said, they got a silver. Me, I had sooo much fun doing everything I didn't have time to do this weekend. I'm still behind on laundry so I know what I will do this week.

Maja and J are still sleeping, they get to sleep in on mondays. Some people are lucky. Leo are in the kitchen having breakfast. He has a cough but no fever and is kind of the same so he will go to school. But with a note saying he will nog be in gym class today. He would never make it. So we'll see if they call from school saying he needs to come home but I don't think so. He is not that bad, then he would have gotten to stay home if I thought he couldn't make it.

This afternoon I will be doing laundry as I said and take care of the apartment. Even though I was cleaning until dinner yesterday it's still stuff that needs to be done. So I'll do it while the laundry machine is going. If I'm lucky I'll have time to curl up on the couch for a while, didn't go to sleep until midnight last night. So right now I'm looking forward to coffee at work a bit extra. I will need it today.

A day without basketball

It went really well for Maja yesterday, their team only lost one game and won the other two so that means that they got a spot in the playoffs. But in the afternoon Leo started feeling ill so Maja had to go to the last game without us, her coach was nice enough to come get her and Kalle took her home. Leo felt so bad that he went to bed at 8 pm without protest. He got some cough medicine so he could sleep.

This morning it was time to get up at 6.30 am and we got up without any trouble. Since Leo was feeling ill it was only Maja who left with Kalle, the rest of us stayed at home. So when I got her up and made sure she was getting ready I got back in to bed again and went back to sleep. I woke up when J put his arm around me, the best way to wake up.

Today I will do everything I didn't have time to do this weekend because of all the games. Like doing laundry and going to the grocery store. We have lived of left overs since there haven't been any time to go to the store or cook. But now it will be nice with a normal day. These weekends wear you out. Lucky it's only once a year.

Time again!

Oh no, it's that time of year again. Time for the Eem cup in basketball. Swedens biggest basketball cup, and of course Majas team are in it. Which means that it's gonna be basketball around the clock this weekend. I hate it! One game here or there I don't mind but now it really is around the clock. Early mornings and late nights all weekend. Today they will meet up at 1.30 pm for the first game. Lucky for me they only have one game today. Then after it ends we will go home and get something for a quick dinner, then down town for the official opening ceremony at 8 pm and it ends at 9.30 pm. Then it's just home and go to bed because tomorrow the alarm sounds at 6 am. Like I said, I hate it.

But before then we are gonna spend the day at the internship. It will be fine. Yesterday the boss wanted to talk to me, she was wondering how I felt it was going and stuff like that and I took the change to ask her about my vacation. I can take it when ever I want so I took weeks 28, 29, 30, 31. The first week the kids are away with their dad so it will just be me and J. At first I was gonna work that week but then I thought that it can be nice with some alone time just him and me without the kids.

After the internship I'm going to the store before I go home and wait for Leo to quit. After that Kalle is coming to pick us up and takes us to the first game. Or we would never be there on time. Plus we are at a new place and I don't know the way.

A time off

I called the school yesterday morning and talked to Leos teacher and she was verry upset and promised to deal with it right now, she would talk to both Leo and the kids that are picking on him. It felt good that she took it like that. So when Leo came home I asked him how school was and it had been good. How nice! And K had talked to the psychologist and they are gonna send home an appointment so he can come and talk to someone.

After my internship I went to the drugstore to buy some oil for my nails and omg how expensive it was. 109 SEK for a tiny bottle of oil. But since I don't want my nails to fall off I just payed and looked happy. Then I went to the grocery store and got what we needed for dinner and then back home to do what needed to be done at home. I even had time to curl up on the couch before J came over.

Today we are having a day off. The school is closed and so are the community youth center so Leo didn't have anywhere to go when I was at my internship. So we took day at home. When I got out of bed the water was turned off so no morning coffee for me, I'm having it now insted when the water came back. Then it's time for a shower before I'm going to the grocery store and find something for dinner. Then it's the every day stuff like doing the laundry, dishes and so on. Oh god, a dish washer is on the top of my wish list.

When your heart breaks

Today it was hard getting up so I curled up with J for a while. That did that I missed some time but what does that matter? What I don't have time to do today I will do when I get home.

Yesterday when I was going to the store the munchkins dad called me, he wanted to talk about Leo. Leo had done something when he was there. He had said to Maja that he wanted to cut himself on a piece of glas he had found on the playground. And he have punched himself hard in the face before. And he says that sometimes he wants to die, and they pick at him in school. My little boy, my heart is breaking! So K had called and talked to a psychologist before he talked to me. And he was gonna call them again to make an appointment when we had talked but they didn't answer so he is gonna call them again today. I'm gonna call the school and they will have to fix this, if needed they will be with Leo all times in school to make sure nothing happens.

When Leo came home I told him that his dad had called and what we talked about. Leo then told me that in gym class someone had thrown his socks in the shower, so he didn't have any on him when he got home. That thing isn't suposed to happen! Where are all the adults and why hasn't anyone seen anything? I'm gonna call the school this morning and book an appointment with the teacher, me and K as soon as possible. This is something they have to figure out, everyone should feel safe at school. I can fight as much as I have to with anyone to make sure that Leo is safe in school. 

I told Leo that his dad and I are gonna do everything we can to make sure that he is ok and that school is good. But for that to happen he needs to talk to us and other adults in school when something happens even if it's hard. But that we are here and we love him and would do anything for him.

Today after the internship I'm going to get some nail oil. I need it to make sure they don't fall off, and I don't whant them to do that. Then it's the bus to the store and get what I need for dinner and then home to do laundry and some cleaning. I'm gonna try and get some time to curl up on the couch because I'm exhausted after yesterday. I tried to rest yesterday but there where thousands of thoughts in my head so I couldn't find peace to do that. So I'll try again today.

To start a phone

We went to bed at a reasonable time last night and yet I'm still tired. But at least I'm not seeing double like yesterday when I got up. I guess that's good.

Yesterday I was busy when I got home after the internship. I did two loads of laundry, cleaned, did the dishes and went to the grocery store. But I did get to sleep on the couch, I needed it. I woke up when J sat down beside me. At first I thought I was dreaming but it was him. I wondered why he hadn't called on the door phone but it was open so he had gotten in anyway. 

I'm gonna try to find time to sleep on the couch today as well, I still have laudry to take care of. I was supposed to do four loads yesterday but only did two since I fell a sleep, so the other two are left for today.

But first I need to go down town to drop of some papers. The bus are going straight down there and it takes only a minute to go from the bus to the office. I would like to get my money, I have about 1000 SEK I'm getting back for the buss and medicine. I'm gonna need those money for May when there are lots of birthdays, three if I'm counted right.

Today Kalle will go with Leo to Tuna Park. It keeps popping up on Leos phone that he has to put in his puk-code and that paper he has lost, of course. So Kalle will go with him to the Telenor store and we'll see if they can fix it, they are good at that store.

So angry

God, I'm so mad. When Leo came home yesterday he wanted to talk so we did. He was happy enough with the answers he got on why he have to come home from dad on mondays. But then he says that K has tried to call me and text me to talk about the kids being there every other week. Eeeeh, excuse me. It's the other way around. I don't get an answer when I call and if I text him it can take up to three or for days before he answers it. I texted him yesterday about how it went with Leo at the dentist and still no answer.

Right now it's snowing again. But lucky for me it doesn't stay on the ground. It's a good thing that my internship isn't far away. But in this weather it's farther away than I would have wanted. Let's see if I can find my umbrella. I'm thinking about getting my winter jacket on my way out.

After the internship I'll take the bus to the store to get some dinner. Today we are having salmon and mashed potatoes. They had cheap salmon this week. It's something we love har but doesn't eat that often.

Then a quick walk home and start some laundry. Now the laundry basket is full again even though it feels like I don't do anything else but laundry.

When you aren't sick

The internship yesterday went great. At least until 30 minutes before I was finished for the day when Leo called and didn't feel well and wanted to come home so it was just for me to pack up my stuff. Lucky for me it's not that far away.

When I got home there was a munchkin that wasn't sick, only tired. I explained that tired is not a reason to go home from school because then no one would ever be in school. So he can go back to school today and I can go to my internship.

When I got home yesterday I curled up on the couch trying to rest, I was so tired. But I had to much coffee so I couldn't. So I made som more coffee and sat at the computer insted. That worked too.

After my internship today I'm going down town to drop of some papers. I was suposed to do that yesterday but didn't have time for it before I had to go home. I need to think of something to eat as well so I can take the buss to the grocery store without going home first. But I still have time, doesn't leave until 8.30 am.

But then again we are four people that are getting ready and need to use the bathroom. J will wake up soon and then he's gonna have a shower, I showered last night. Then the munchkins are getting ready and brushing their teeth and then I need to get ready, brush my teeth and put on my make up. So there is a line to the bathroom in the morning.

Gametime and chocolate

As always these days I wake up just before the alarm. I must have an built in clock that's for sure.

Why do you have an alarm for a sunday? Because it's time for basketball. We are all gonna meet up at 11 pm and then we go to Örebro for the game. So it was getting up at 9 pm and I woke up 15 minutes before the alarm. Leo should have been at a friends house for the day but her mom got sick so he's coming with us.

And I got the best boyfriend in the world. Do you know what he did? Since I have pms he got me three gigantic chocolate bars. How sweet is that? And I mean gigantic. God how I love him!

Finally friday

Everything went great at Leos parent teacher meeting. He will be practicing his handwriting and division. Besides that he is ahead of where he should be. He has also stoped sitting under his desk that he did sometimes to be alone. 

After the meeting I went home to Linda for a coffee, it was to long ago. She was nice enough to have bought me some presents. A citchen clock with a timer and a shredder. We had coffee, smoked to much and had a really great time. It was good to hear her laugh.

I got home just in the for when the munchkins came home. Then I'm not sure what I did. Oh, I talked to my cousin on the phone! Maja had her practice so she ate before us so it was only Leo and I at dinner.

Later Kalle came over and we watched Mob wives together as always. When he left me and J went to bed and watched Hells kitchen and Baby daddy. Even an episode of the swedish show Andra avenyn. Not really my favorite show. But if J can stand watching my shows I have to watch his.

Today is gonna be a nice and quiet day. I' gonna go back to bed after everyone leaves at 8 am. It will be nice to get some more sleep.

When Leo comes home from school we are gonna go down to the showers, he needs a shower. Oh god how I miss my bathroom and want it back. Then when Maja comes home we are going grocery shopping for the weekend. Then home and do nothing until it's time to make dinner. For once I know what we are gonna eat; chicken. I have promised the munchkins that.

Parent teacher meeting and coffee

Oh my God, the new kitchen fan is so ugly. It's not adapted for my kitchen but is big, ugly, clumsy and is sticking out. But at least I have a fan now, that's how you have to think.

Leo is feeling better and can go to school today. He could have gone yesterday but I wanted to see that he really was better and not something temporary. It's good that he is going today because we have a parent teacher meeting. Someone who is sick now insted is Rasmus so I have to call his school at 8 am. J is also feeling better, he went to school yesterday when he woke up. And I was gonna be a good girlfriend and let him sleep. 

After the parent teacher meeting I'm going home to my friend Linda for a coffee. We haven't seen eachother for a while now so we have a lot to talk about. I have missed her. It's strange that we don't get to see eachother that often when we live in the same neighborhood. But she is busy with her life and I am with mine. 

But before the parent teacher meeting and the coffee I have a home that want my attention. God how I long for this renovation to be done so I can clean the hallway, it's long overdue. But now I can't because they have put in a temporary floor. So I have to wait.

My ugly fan

When the school calls

I didn't get to spend much time at the breakfast group yesterday. I had just poured myself some coffee when the school called. Leo had a headache and wanted to come home so i threw away the coffee and headed for the bus. Lucky for me, and Leo, J was also home sick so Leo could come home and wait for me insted of waiting at school. Then Leo spent most day under the covers on the chouch, freezing. At least I got to get to the drug store before the breakfast group to get all the meds I'm gonna need for a while.

Now they are putting up a new fan in the kitchen and they are making a lot of noice. Yesterday they put up the tile in the bathroom and the toilet so now that´s done. The only thing left is to put in the bathtub and all that stuff so it seems that they are on time. We are on week four out of five and it has gone a lot better than I thought. Soon it´s over! I just hope that J doesn´t wake up from all that noice. He is home sick today as well. 

When Maja has left for school I think I will get back in bed for a while. We went to bed kind of early last night, for being us. A bit before midnight. J is still sick so he didn't mind. And Lilith is like an old lady who loves getting to sleep early. But I´m also a night person who loves staying up late.

A day full of adventures

The adventures with the router continues. The one I bought worked great at Kalles, so he brought it back here again after I changed some settings on the phone. But no, that didn't work. Damn! But we thought of some things we are gonna try on thursdag. First my switch from my internet provider is soooo old, since 2008, so Kalle called BBB and they would send a new one. Then we will try to split it all (don´t even know what that is, ask Kalle) with another swith between the one from BBB and my router. That is how Kalle has it at home so we hope that it will give some result. If we are really lucky it's the switch that drags down the speed all along and not my old router. Then I can use my old one and return the new one and save the money for a new dishwasher. Well, if it doesn't work I still need to return the old one since it's not working here.

The bad luck continues at home as well. Leo was gonna go to the toilet before bed. Usually I'm not all that happy about him going alone with my keyes but he has done a great job so far so I let him go. Then it's Majas turn and she can't find the keyes. Of course Leo has forgotten them at the toilet. So I take the spare keyes and we went outside. Lucky for all of us my keyes where on the basin where he put them. I put them in my pocket and we went hoem again.

When we get close to the house I´m gonna take out the keyes from my pocket and one of the spare keyes falls to the ground. It has been snoving all night... Sent the kids home, cursed a lot and started looking. In deep snow. When I'm about to give up and just have to pay the 1200 SEK that a key costs I finally find it.

Tuesday today and Lilith has the breakfast group. I just wanna go back to bed. I'm so tired. We watched Paranormal Activity last night and I was scared to death. As always with those movies. So I'm so tired today, it takes a lot of energy to be that scared. But no, no sleep for me. The breakfast group it is. I´m gonna leave early so I have time to go to the drugstore before the breakfast group.

After that it´s time to go back home, drop of my bag and go to the grocery store. I need to think of something to eat as well. God, how I hate everything that has to do with food. Then home and take care of the apartment if I don't have time to do that before I go. If I´m lucky I have time left for a nap on the couch as well.

Finally some company

The summer holiday is over for this time. Leo is back at the community youth center before school starts next week. It's not that easy getting up in the morning I have to say. Out of two days we have overslept both days. But not that much that he is late getting there.

Today I'm gonna do some cleaning. Then a shower and some grocery shopping. I need to thing about something to eat as well.

Later today J is coming over. He is gonna stay here this week. It will be nice with some company in bed when you sleep. It's so boring sleeping alone. The only problem is that he is getting up early in the mornings, much more early than I am.

I wish we could have Chinese

Let's party!

I couldn't sleep last night so I slept in this morning insted. And so did Leo. He didn't fall a sleep untill 11 pm last night.

Today is going to be a great day. Leo is going to his dad, and Maja is going to my mom for the weekend. Woho! Of course we will go out tonight. And by us I mean me, Kalle and my little brother. The weather is great so we will sit outside at the pub and just chill. I can't wait.

But before that I have stuff to do. I need to do some cleaning, laundry and have a shower. My mom is picking up Maja after work so I have to be ready until then. Because then it's party time!

The last day of school

It's the last day of school! But Leo still has a few weeks left at the community youth center. But he won't be there as early as school starts. But tomorrow we are taking the day off and is sleeping in.

I had trouble sleeping last night so I was in bed talking on the phone until 12.30 am before I could go to sleep. So I wasn't happy when the alarm went off at 6.30 am. Maybe I'll do like yesterday and take a nap on the couch. But before I do that I need to get some laundry done.

Just another friday

No school today so I got to sleep until 8.30 am. Then I had to get up to get Leo to have breakfast and get ready for the community youth center where his dad will pick him up later today. He's going to his dad for the weekend and are coming home on monday.

Then I'm going on a powerwalk, Maja can manage on her own until I get back. I'm only gone for an hour or so. Then we will go to the store to get something to eat for the weekend. So I'll have to think of something to eat. I think we'll have pizza tomorrow. So then I only have to think of something for today.

Later on Kalle is coming over to help Maja with her new computer she bought yesterday. They did most of it yesterday but there are still some stuff left to do.

Back on track

I took a little break over the weekend. We had Leos birthday party and he was so happy. It was with a Frozen theme, he loves everything that has to do with it.

Today I will start the day with a powerwalk. I need to get started with them again. I'm always so tired and powerwalks gives me energy. But they are so boring. But with a good audi book it's not that bad.

After that it's time for a shower and then do some cleaning. How much can a person clean without going insane?

Everything is easier with an audio book

It's finally time

Yesterday we were at a birthday party for my friends daughter. She turned 4 and is a little princess. We had a great time and I had two happy and tired kids when we got home.

Today I'm finally getting my nails done! It's about time, the look terrible. I have an appointment for 10 am. I need to get ready for sunday.

When I get home it's laundry time, like it always is. Leo has no clean socks left he told me just this morning. It would be great if he told me that a  bit sooner so I had time to wash them.
