The world

The day has come.. got up early to spend some time with the family before it is time to head off to the airport. Got a message about a delay in the departure – by 3hrs.. *sigh* . Nothing else to do than to contact the taxi company and postpone it a couple of hours. Also double checked with the car rental that they have our flight number and therefor will know about the delay. Let my American family know that we will be arriving a lot later than we thought. So much to do.

3 more hours at home = a lot of time on my hands. Doing my second machine of laundry right now… lol. Fingers crossed nothing else will get in our way and that from now on everything will run smoothly and without obstacles.

National theme day – semlor! A bun flavored with cardamon – lid cut off – filled with almond icing, whipped cream – lid back on an decorated with icing sugar. mmm. I had ordered the small ones – plenty enough calories to go around anyway!

Last day at work for a while – our much-longed vacation is finally here. Time to get organized and pack the last bits. Let’s hope we’ll make it there without too much hassle and that the trip goes well. I will try to make a daily note here but I will not have my computer so I will not be able to do the layout.

Be safe, everyone!

First day of winter break for my youngest. A whole week off relaxing with no musts or homework. I hope he’ll have a great week even though it might be a bit lonely since a lot of his friends are away and his brother has school all week.

Fingers crossed his birthday present will be delivered tonight  so he finally can receive it. Didn’t feel too good to not be able to give it to him on time.

Time to enjoy my mother’s birthday-present we gave her in November. A brunch with all 10 of us in Kaknästornet – a restaurant place 155 m above ground level on the 28th floor. It was a “smörgåsbord”-lunch and the food was really good!

After lunch we went up another couple of floors to look at the magnificent view from the observation deck. No blue sky today but still quite a good view of our beautiful capitol.

Now I am so full I will not move for the rest of the day.. lol. Trying to pack my suitcase and figure out what to bring. Always tricky when leaving a country with snow to travel to a country with more spring-like weather.

A gorgeous Saturday and my “baby” is turning 17 years old. 17. Almost an adult. One more year and then he will be. An adult. Responsible for his own actions. Wow. But, I have a whole year left until then. After that I will have two beautiful adult sons in my life.

We had a great afternoon together with the whole family. F and I made a blue princess cake – it was a disaster but it tasted really nice. Lol. Unfortunately his present didn’t arrive on time, but he received a lot of nice gifts from the rest of the family!

Thank you for making his day so special!
