Weekend gone...

This weekend has been great, Saturday was spent in the cottage planting flowers, seeing horses and generally playing. Sunday was Amandas end of term show for her gymnastics group. They were such cute little bunnies. All different groups in the local gymnastics association got to show what they'd done this term and they were all so good!

Tonight we've been to celebrate "Valborg" which in Sweden is bonfire-night. There was a kids entertainer singing and the kids loved it, although by the time we got back the little ones were exhausted. We've had such a fab day today, spent late morning and lunch at a friends house. After a BBQ lunch we then went off for a picnic in the afternoon with them and met up with yet another friend. Sun was shining, kids were playing nicely and the mums had a chance to chat and relax over a cup of coffee. What more can you ask for! Then obviously bonfire celebrations tonight.

Amazing how quickly three days off just flies by though. Tomorrow is a bank holiday here but the kids are off to their dad and I have to get down to some serious revising. Big law exam friday and OH MY GOD! it feels like I am sooo not prepared... Only one thing to do about that! Tis means that for the next few days I'll bury myself in books and hope I'll concentrate my studies on the right bits ;) Wish me luck...

Long weekend

And a well needed one. We will have Monday at home together as well so 3 days at home all in all. It's been some intense weeks and next week I have my final exam in the law course I'm currently taking so a break before really getting down to revising is such a relief :)

This weekend also brings some fun for us all. Sunday is the end of term show for Amandas gymnastics group and following tradition it's always a dress up occasion-this year they'll all be animals and her group will be bunnies, so cute. Looking forward to it! We also have som plans to see friends that we haven't seen for quite a while which will be great :) Hopefully we'll manage some chilling time together as well...

Hope time off will make me more focused on my studies next week. Not long now til summer break and so ready for some proper time off, one more course so a total of 6 weeks to go... Found out last week that I passed my last exam which means so far I've passed everything and now have enough points credited to be allowed to continue my education this autumn. Such a relief! Just got to get through this law exam and then last course of term seems really practical which will be a nice change :)

Nevermind, now I will focus on having a lovely relaxing weekend with my kids and just enjoy spending some time together. Wishing everyone/anyone reading a fab weekend too :)

Here we go again :)

Been a busy winter and spring for us, loads of school work for me and unfortunately a great deal of illness.. But after a little while away from this blog I thought it'd be time to restart it... So, here we go again, making a second attempt to get this blog going :)

Got back from work not to long ago, long day, fun day and thankfully a well paid day. As a student it's well needed doing some extra work and I have the fortune to have a great extra job working with fab people. Although tiring, it is so rewarding and therefore well worth it. It's also a great use of my time the weekends I don't have my children with me as I do miss them when they're not around... The kids spend every second weekend with their father so, that's where they are now. I on the other hand get to have some time to myself, which usually means I either work or get to see my friends for a bit :) This weekend is a working weekend! Tomorrow they'll be back home again, can't wait :) but first I'll do one more shift at work...

So best bet now is to head of to bed and get some rest :) Will try to keep the updates more frequent from now on... I hope....

Another week of illness :(

So, this week we managed to be back to normal all day monday and then it was little mans turn to fall ill. All in all another week spent at home with the kids. Hopefully we'll now stay well for the next few weeks, fingers crossed. We have had some really nice days though, doing lots of arts and baking but I do have to say my coursework has been somewhat neglected so really need to spend this weekend with my head in a book.....

Have managed to get to a few lectures this week though, some great ones and some not so inspiring. Feeling like some parts of social politics are quite hard to comprehend and wondering how on earth I'm gonna be able to keep it all in my head for my upcoming exam! Somehow it'll just have to work...

Stuck inside

We've been stuck indoors for three days straight now as my little girl has been poorly but today finally(hopefully) she's been all better :) It has been wonderful getting to spend some extra time with the kids and just chill out as we normally have quite a hectic schedule of daycare and school during the week. We've managed to do so many of the little bits you never do quite often enough like baking, painting and snuggling down to watch a movie together, it's really quite a bonus to get that extra time occasionally.

Have also managed to sort quite a bit out at home as I have actually been here :) Sorted a few x-mas presents out, early I know but so nice to have it done! Also done some well needed cleaning! The downside is that I am now soo behind with the reading I need to do for school, have spent the majority of the evenings with my head in a book yet somehow I seem to be none the wiser. Hope this week will bring clarity as have a full week ahead of lectures... Will have to do some major studying over the next few days and weeks... I'm doing my first term at uni so it's all new to me and has taken a while to get into routine and adapting to the pace of things. But, it's so much fun and will be so worth it by the end of it :)

So, better get back to reading a bit before bedtime, night night!
