So this weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) had a lot to offer.
Friday I didn’t feel so great, emotions of sadness were on me like a bee on honey, for reasons unknown. But as the day progressed so did my feelings toward the day. And the day ended successfully with baby pictures. The neighbour kids had a baby boy/ brother. A very proud yet again big brother and first time big sister came with smiles upon their faces and pictures in their hand. Their mom had a little baby boy at noon.
The might ended cuddling in my boyfriends arms to the movie Oceans, which by the way was a great movie, given you appreciate life and the oceans that is. And before the end was reached I was having a battle between eyelids and mind, resulting in eyes shutting and me sleeping.
Saturday was a great day. We woke up, had nice breakfast and then off to empty trash out of the boyfriends “old” apartment but most of all basement. We managed to fill the Volvo with plenty of things most that was his but also items others felt like pounding of to him. It’s always nice receiving extra trash. See I would have left the items there but he is too good hearted so we grabbed it along and of to the recycling central we went. I don’t find any joy in running around like a chicken with no head with trash in my hands trying to locate the right dumpster to dump it in, but it got done and he did more the half on his own (He does know more about recycling then I do). This country is definitely after trying to save the planet. I do have to say they are doing a damn good job at it and a lot of it has rubbed of and on to me.
After taking a nice sightseeing tour we got home, got ready and I baked a chocolate cake for the guests we would receive later on. The boyfriend’s cousins were coming to visit and it would be my first time meeting them. Talk about a down to earth easy to get along with family. They are by far on the top of my list when it comes to fantastic people to meet and socialize with. We had great conversations and when I say great I mean GREAT, not only were we able to learn about one another but we had mutual ground to stand on in this enjoyable conversation. Time slipped away fast and the night had arrived. As they left our apartment I felt smarter and a lot better after having had the honour to meet them. (God bless mother earth)
As the night was coming to an end the stomachs were starting to rumple so I made beef patties with potatoes and sauce with of course a side of salad. We ended the evening with a quick but successful look on the w w w to see if I class that my hubby was interested in applying for existed and yes yes in deed there was one and laughter to the TV show The marriage ref.
Tacksägelsedagen aka Sunday a day to give thanks.
It started out rough but ended smooth.
It’s crazy how some things can just set me of. I can definitely feel my hot blooded temper boil at times. I have that type of personality where I'm outgoing, forward and I speak what’s on my mind. I don’t have that ability to keep things to myself, to bottle up my thoughts and feelings or to not say anything at all. I really can’t. In some cases, to some people this might be a problem. I’ve thought about it, what if I were to just be quiet when people are obviously making a mistake, or I see them just doing something the hard way that could so easily be done in an easy way. I can’t stand along and say nothing I just can’t. I have one of my many mottos which I live by, which pretty much explains me and why I speak.
Not to react is to accept.
(As you might guess this morning started out rough but this set back was nothing big)
We went to Lackalänga-stävie church for their sermon. It was beautiful. The church was decorated in autumn colours with flowers, herbs, pumpkins, veggies and baked goodies. It’s a day to thank Mother Nature for the fertile soil she has provided us with and some of the local farmers shared what they had been able to grow. It was peaceful and nice. I honestly enjoy peace of mind and heart.
Once the sermon was over and we exited the church the fog that was there when we got there was even thicker. We went home to hang up some paintings which we did right before we drove off again. We went to IKEA. We bought a laptop table and some things to the baby and the family. We swooped by the gigantic mall that’s in the neighbourhood. We went in and a few window-shopping minutes later I see a girl with eyes that are about to fill up with tears running. I bend down on one knee and ask her what’s wrong. She starts to cry and in between her heavy breathing she says “I can’t find mommy” I asked her name and how old she is and you can tell she’s upset. My loving boyfriend hears the information and asks me if we should try to get someone. I asked him to try to get help, I remain standing with the girl and he begins trying to get help, I see him walking from store clerk to clerk and they all shake their heads. I try to calm her down by talking about her nice pen in her hand and the colour of her scarf, she manages to catch her breath and I’m able to ask her some more questions. Do you remember the colour of the store or which way mommy went? But she’s to shook up. I see my boyfriend stopped just a few stores a head, which is at the empty information desk. I tell the girl we are going to go over there and mommy will come in just a few minutes. He manages to call the security office and ask them to send over a guard and so they did. He comes and grabs the girl, takes her behind the counter. He says thanks and I tell him I’m not leaving until mom gets here. (I don’t have any reason to trust him) I keep pepping the girl; tell her she is really good and that it’s cool to sit behind the big desk in a big chair. It doesn’t take long after the announcement has been made that the parents and sister come walking.
After looking at watches and buying perfume we left, well mostly because the announcements told us to get out.
So we left the malls, with less money in the pocket but more peace in heart (always feels good doing something good) and drove to my great grandmas. We bought some baked treats and off we went. It was late but this amazing woman is not like most 90 year old woman, first of all her only problem is that she has bad balance and sometimes falls. She has a sharp and quick tough and is all there in her mind but she dislikes old people like you couldn’t even imagine. So being in an old people’s home, you can see the problem. Well about 2 hours later, coffee treats and lots of talking, it’s about time for us to leave. We make it out of there with one Christmas church and a Christmas light.
