Still no car

A real mission getting going this morning. I had set the alarm to get us to the bus stop (100 meters from our door) on time and if we missed that one there was another one 15 min later - we didnt make it....so we had to walk to nursery. 
As a knock on effect I missed my train and had to hang around in the village for 1 hr and lost 2 of Elizas dummies in the meantime (had to buy some more and 'sterilize' them in a hot cup of water from the espresso machine at Mitt i Prick (Sunes).
Then my train was delayed 20 min and I had a meeting to pick up my insoles - yes it has come to that, this second pregnancy has broken me completely, no more high heels and sexy shoes. But I refuse to buy the special soft-walk shoes that they sell in the shop. Its me and the old people who visits this shop, for gods sake - it really brings me down. 

Afterwards me and Eliza had a lovely fika at Leilas cafe. 
I had so many errands I had planed to do and all we had time for was a fika. When you have to rely on public transport and having to pick up a second child within 5 hours there isnt time for any slip ups. 

Elizas first fika!

Back on the trampoline

So everything is sorted, all the outstanding bills are payed and we are still in good health ;-)
So happy to be back on the trampoline 

smily vs serious 

playing on the Bolibompa site - mums computer is still better than the Hello Kitty computer that was a must-have.

Pick nick in the garden

So nice to have tidied up the garden. There is still tons to do and we probably need a season to find out what is weed and what's not but raking the lawn (getting rid of all the twigs and branches from the winter storms), trimming the hedge, planting some vegetables and mooing the lawn has made wonders.

Not at all on top of the bills

I am such a unorganized person! and I seem to have some kind of  phobia for bills...not to talk about filling out forms. As I went through my paperwork (which was long overdue and had been piling up after all the visitors we have had in the past month) I almost fell off the chair when I realized the insurance hadn't been payed and being the weekend there was nothing I could do about it. Mina was strictly forbidden to jump on our neighbors trampoline and I tried my very best not to have catastrophe thoughts.

 Some healthy spinach waffles for snack will make up for all the sweets we are about to eat.

Last course day

I have been telling Paul for weeks that its only a few times left until the course finishes (so it doesnt effect his workday any longer) but when I arrived this afternoon, (and up until mid day I didnt know if I was gonna make it as our car is of the road but thanks to our lovely neighbor who lent me their car I made it, and I wasnt the last person in, woho) it was a complete shock to me it was the last time!

It hit me when our teacher asked what the arrangement on the floor was all about and one of the guys told her it was a present from all of us....(this must have been something they decided on the 'quiet day' which I could not attend due to my mother in law visit. I used to be really pissed off about not being able to do the quiet day day with the rest of my group but now I am quite pleased, it will give me another goal to work towards in the summer as I am attending another session at the end of June.

But how am I goona be disciplined and do all my exercises now that I dont have a course to attend every week!?


Maybe this will help me staying focused

Garden Yoga

6 weeks a go I started a MBSR corse (its a stress reducing course)...

Yet another glorious day - time for some daily yoga, outside!

Mina is showing off her new haircut and 'keeping sweden clean' tattoo 
From Mina - my very most favorite spring flowers. Even more beautiful in the wild. I have to find a way of getting some to grow in our garden.

May day - the perfect bank holiday

We couldn't have had a better bank holiday if we'd asked for it, almost like summer :-)

 Eliza is showing of her back muscles (thinks she can get higher than mummy)
 Chinny in Minas old Monsoon outfit - we did it again, left it too late this is no 6 month outfit..... we're hoping baby cousin is a girl so that someone can get a use out of such a pretty outfit.
 Off to the village for an ice cream - a tradition we must keep for sure!

 Elizas firt nappy change in the open (well apart from in the boot of the car)
Mina is having a Hot dog BBQ with Ida and Ella
Dinner time outside!
 and finally family dinner...
How I love my redneck family!
