Yes, it has started again. I knew it the moment hubby happily agreed to have the boys after a short period for recovery for me. This morning hubby and I did a trip to Aldi, and on the way back my sister called (she needed hubby and my car to pick up the new TV set) and shortly after DiL- she needed a place to store her boys, because she did not ( Read more... )

I just managed to delete all my LJ messages in one go- only that I did not even want to do this barbaric act. Too late now, they are all off. I should not play with buttons when I am tired- and tired I am! Fell asleep around 00:30, got up at 2:30, had a first cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle, another coffee with daughter at 3:15 then off we ( Read more... )

There are nights , when I sleep like a log, and there are nights I won´t. By this I do not think of the nights the alarm will go off at three in the morning, but ordinary nights, when sleep won´t claim me long enough, like today. So after two strolls to the loo (I was very bored then) I got up at three, turned the coffee maker on, got myself one of ( Read more... )

Cassian has a serious cold. Flavius has a cold plus earaches. Yet both boys had to attend kindergarten, until Husband mine picked them up and brought them to our house. We had to administer a round of medication first, before the two had lunch (ghost soup straight from Maggi, Tortellini with pink sauce) and a good, long rest afterwards. Later the ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was not even up that late, but slept until nine in the morning anyway. I had some disturbing dreams, one of them even made me wake up, because my brain told me that the problem I was confronted with did not have a practical solution. That´s what makes me go up the wall, even in dreams. I did write some mails on the PC and continued ( Read more... )

...to post in the evening. I was up from three to six in the morning, had breakfast at eight. Daughter got picked up at the airport at nine, we had coffee and cookies then did the pumpkin pie. Then we made the meat dough for the 'foot', put the sushi rice in the rice cooker and prepared tuna, carrots and egg rolls for the Korean sushi version. Fish ( Read more... )

I spent the most part of the morning at the dentist. Applying a new crown shouldn´t take that long, but I had to wait for almost an hour to make it to the treatment room. A lot of people with aching teeth, half of them youths, had showed up and got poshed in between regular appointments, hence the congestion in te waiting room. The young ones were ( Read more... )

...at your service! Hubby has been to his favourite butcher for meat for more bacon. I had to peel two heads of garlic and crush them. Worst garlic ever did not want to get peeled. My fingers were smelly. My clothes, too, but those I was able to change. Not so with my fingers! I have scrubbed them, but it did not help so much ( Read more... )

Hubby brought the cars and the trailer to the repair shop for tyre change. Turned out that my car needs new winter tyres. That´s strange, because I got new ones two winters ago. Maybe it makes sense to not always go for the cheapest ones- I dare say that I do not do much driving in winter. Might be because I do not leave the house so often then, ( Read more... )

I already assumed there´d be trouble ahead- husband mine has carefully perused the newspaper for the schedule at the barracks. He called son in the evening that he´d pick the boys up and show them the marvel that is our armed forces. Swearing-in, helicopters, paratroopers, some outdated jet fighters- hubby and the boys loved it. While I did ( Read more... )
