I know
I know, I know, I have not posted in MONTHS!!!! But still, I saw Tyler posting an entry somewhere so I decided why don't I.
So Basically a lot has happened, me and Tyler decided to make my room as both me and hers sleeping room, and her room as our "Business Office". So far we have succeeded at making the "office space" look beautiful and we have not gotten into a fight in DAYS!!, Which is a world record for us. :)
We are going to take pictures (I think) soon. (Like I said, I THINK we will.)
Worries
Last night, I had trouble getting to sleep.
I've been feeling increasingly nervous the last few days, and I can't put my finger on why. At least I couldn't last night. I felt very wound up, full of nervous energy, and worried. I kept doubting everything, and feeling like I couldn't drive the negative thoughts from my head.
This morning, with a clearer head, I think it has to do with all the work I've been doing to prepare for moving.
It's not that I am questioning the move itself, but rather, feeling a little behind on getting things together.
Let it snow! Or not...
It's no secret that I love snow. I love lots of snow, enough to go sledding in and make igloos with the kids.
But it never snows in Skåne. At least not very often. Last year, it dusted once or twice, but for the most part it just rained and the wind blew.
It's a bit annoying that now that I am out in the country, it's been snowing on and off for months.
Not that I don't love the snow, but I hate the fact that way out here, no one plows the roads.
Everyone in town has clear roads, while we have ice and snow still.
Late night antics
I had the privilege of catching the twins playing around in the kitchen the other night on a snack raid.
I had some fun with this morning's post. Read on...
Mattias has the day off, and it was my turn to sleep in. We're borrowing his mother's car so we can get in to the bus and he was going to drive Tayler to school.
I was up entirely too late last night trying to figure out finances.
I fell asleep after coughing fits, and was deeply asleep dreaming about something very interesting when something tugged at me to get up.
Tomorrow will be better
I didn't sleep at all last night. Cough kept me up. Finally got a little rest today after a good dose of cough medicine, and a good bit of exhaustion.
So about 20 feet out of the driveway, the car shut down. I knew that the headlights were out because Mattias had told me this morning before leaving for work.
What I didn't expect was the light show inside the car from all of the different indicators blinking and flashing.
And the loud persistent whining noise from the engine that made me want to cover my ears.
It's like the internet got a facelift
I've been finding lots of cool tools out there lately. Probably because my laptop was in the shop, and I was working with my daughter's laptop which had little installed on it.
I started looking for tools and services, and was amazed at what awesome things are out there. I feel a little like a kid in a candy store for the first time. Wow, look at all you can eat (do)!
Wireless Encounters
Today I stumbled upon a cool little app that allows you to find WiFi nearby from your laptop.
It's funny I never thought to look around for these kind of tools before. Southern Sweden's free WiFi is a bit like an endangered species, and it's a huge irritation for me as a spoiled American.
In the USA, practically every coffee shop has WiFi, and usually it is free to attract customers. There's WiFi all over the place.
Burning
After spending all morning trying to get to Landskrona to get Tyler to school (I was too sick to do anything yesterday and Mattias had to work), I drove home and fell asleep.
On the way up, around 7:45, we hit a standstill. We could see there was a large fire ahead with a lot of smoke, but that was it. We were actually quite close to what ended up being a giant diesel truck that wrecked and caught fire. At 10:15, I saw that some of the cars waiting for the road block to clear were turning around and going through a service ditch on the highway to get onto the other side of the highway.
