Now you dont want to say this...so grip up!

Top five regrets of the dying:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Mini spa

* Early Valentines treat from hubby - kids are in bed and I'll have an evening all to my self (Paul is on baby duty). I've been banging on about how I want/need to treat myself once a week to stay sane. At least a soak in the bath or a facial or some meditation every week.

* Candlelit bathroom, even tea lights on the bath tray.

1. Taking it all in

2. Body scrub with gloves

3. Clay mask and breathing techniques

4. Wash of mask, turn the light on and reads kicks magazine cover to cover (grab what is easy to hands, time is pressures)

Next time I'll remember to bring some frozen cucumber eye pads and chill out music and I will be complete....

Yoga and african dance

* Didnt make the dagis run today as I had to get ready for my UN meeting - how would I manage if Paul didnt work from home???

* Eliza's frist grab!!!

* New teats, I so should have bough one S and one M yesterday (it would have saved me one extra trip to the shop).

* Stopping off at Biltema to finally pick up a mirror. Now I can see the children in the back seat, ad I can with a clear consions listen to my podcasts while driving.

* Excellent yoga section. Drums to come....

Expressing and bottle feeding success!

* No more cracked nipples we're off to buy new teats for the Medela bottles. Would so recommend this brand!

* Ooutch! Reminder from Medela breast pump hire, almost 700 kr. But it was worth every penny.

* New teats works a treat, Eliza took them on the fist go, she must have been hungry. She is now a bottlefeeding baby (starting to train for tomorrows session when I'm at yoga).

Where does all the blood come from?

* The activities has started - gymnastics today

* That one nipple could bleed so much that after being sick 3 times there were pure blood coming up that is scary, very scary. So me and our neighbor spent 2 1/2 hours at the hospital while Paul stayed at home looking after Mina. The journey to the hospital was horrible but on the way back (when we knew with 99.9% certainty that the blood was caused by a cracked nipple we had a really nice catch up.

No more stripes please

* Productive day - finally finished painting the changing table. It didnt turn out like I saw it in my head but when does it ever....and finished the January section (almost) in my trend book and listened to several podcasts.

*Hotdogs out in the garden on the portable BBQ in -6° while admiring the logs piled up by house.

* The fire has been going all day. So nice to not to freeze your arse of upstairs!

Our fredagsmys always on a Saturday

* - Of course you can watch some telly!

No guilt today - swim school in the morning and neighbor coming over to play in the afternoon

* Catching up on the news - collecting cut outs from January newspaper (dagens industri) and lisened to a couple of podcasts too

* Looking forward to homemade chicken burgers with the family in front of 'Puss in boots'
