Today is countdown day!

Our friend Kim is on her way. All day she is on her way. Countdown started this morning at 7 when we got up. This is when she got on her plane. And there she is now. There she will be for quite a while.

Meanwhile I’ve been starting this day off:

I was at the mall right when it opened.
I tried on four pairs of jeans and bought one. I have no idea if they fit well, while trying them on I was chasing a fugitive. Not to bore you with all the details, let me just say I was at certain points happy that I was the only one in the dressing room area… She kept opening my door. When I managed to keep it closed by balancing on one leg and holding the door with the other leg, she saw her way out underneath the door. Which I guess is good, I like creative solutions especially from my kids.

After that we went to Friskis & Svettis. I have a slight memory of bringing a certain American friend there once… It is a very Swedish way of exercising, that’s for sure. I always go on Wednesday lunch class because they have ladies watching the kids then. Little E (that is her name here in the blog) likes being there but today she was a bit mad at first because the usual overload of toys wasn’t prepared. Shortly after our arrival it was well taken care of and I could go to my class. She hardly looked at me when I got back in there an hour later.

Going home in the car, she fell asleep in two seconds. This means I am on a break!

Which just ended I hear. “Mamma, mamma, mamma” from the bedroom. I am quite sure I don’t need to translate that.

After lunch, shower and picking Big E up at preschool, we are going wine shopping. It is a great excursion with kids.
