All work and no play makes mama real grumpy...
That's why I made sure to have some fun in between this weekends classes at
Dinali (du kan fortfarande anmäla dig till den här terminens klasser!). On friday I held two bachelorettes and during the three hour break me an ma mama (she was the assigned babysitter for the day) went to have lunch at
Sahflors, nice nice.
On saturday I held a bachelors between 11-12 and after that we went for some shopping (mama came with us on saturday as well). The crow got a new lamp, with pirates!!! Then we headed out to IKEA, had lunch, did some shopping, entertained a baby that didn't wanna sleep, did some more shopping and drove back home.
Tacolasagna was on last nights menu at home, in good company of an ice cold beer (non alcoholic of course). Papi did a great job juggling the crow AND making cheese sauce at the same time. The troll fell asleep tummy down on my chest so I put her to bed (around 9pm) and prepared to snuggle down in bed w mee love, lasagna, beer and a great movie. Did the troll stay asleep? Noooooo, she woke up after 15 minutes. Then she hanged out in bed with us, watching us eat. Guess it made her hungry cause after 20 minutes she wanted to eat as well, for 30 minutes, then she passed out, and slept until 6.40am. If Im tired today? Absolutely not, woohooo! She's soooooo awesome our little troll!
Today we're going out to our summer house w mom and dad to eat surströmming (fermented herring), yum yum. The crow better learn to enjoy that delish dish cause mommy likes it a lot!
Over and out!

Elvira Garneij, aka Dorothy!
Let's follow the yellow brick road!
Aparently I'm not the only one...
... who don't seem to have the time to get anything done:

Ok, I love my job and that's awesome, otherwise I would probably crawl under a rock and die. You see the Swedish frikkin Försäkringskassan (from where u get your money when you're on maternity leave for example) seems to think that I should get by with about $650/month, splendid! No wonder a lot of women are forced to choose between starting a family and running a business, holy crap. But now mama's back to work so to hell with them all!
Tomorrows schedule
- No work
- In-home massagetherapist booked, woohooo! Dont even need to drive anywhere to get my muscles worked, the mountain is coming here instead!
Why sleep?
I mean it, why sleep when u can be awake? That seems to be what the troll's thinking nowadays. Yesterday she slept 15 minutes between 7am and 1pm, 15 frikkiin minutes! I had a bunch of stuff to do and needed to get ready for my seminar in Gävle (went awesome btw, I got to talk in front of a bunch of awesome ladies at HäLSobyrån in Gävle!) and this semester's first pole dance, also in Gävle. But since the troll did not want to sleep at all I had to postpone everything I had to do until the last hour before I had to leave (I ended up leaving 45 min later and got to the seminar fashionably 5 minutes late...).
So Im back to work starting this week in Ljusne and Gävle, and so is my man, but he's working with the Americanos through la computer. So we've had to make babysitting arrangements for the troll for about 4-5 days/week for the next 3 coming weeks since we both start work in the evening. I feel soooo bad leaving Elvira with aunts/uncles/grandparents, even if it's usually for no more than 4-5h and she's at home so I can hang out with her whenever I have the time to in the midst of work. I could never stand being away from her for like a day, holy moly. It feels like she's gonna learn sooo many new things in just a couple of hours. If I could have it my way we would just lay down and cuddle in bed the whooooole day so that I could stare at her and kiss the pretty little face. She would get bored though, she needs new things every 5 minutes...
Anyhoodle, I got home at around 11.30pm yesterday. Class finished at 10.45 and after that I had to clean the studio. Of course it had started to pour down outside when I was done so I was forced to drive home reeeeeal slow like a frikkin turtle, couldn't see crap, stupid windshield wipers didn't really work...
So, I got home at 11.30, the troll woke up at 12.30am, feeding/changing/feeding/almostfallingasleep/feeding/fallingasleep took about 1h, did some administrative work on the computer in bed at around 1.30, fell asleep around 2am, the troll woke up at 6am....
Now she's been asleep for about 40 minutes and right when Im about to lay down to rest she's about to wake up...
Grandma's coming over for a couple of hours today. Think Im gonna get some sleep? Noooooo, I have to run errands in town. Rest tonight? Nooooo I have a class 6-8pm. Go to sleep after that? You bet I am!

If only I would've been as efficient...
... when I didnt have a baby as I am now that I do and she's asleep, man I would've accomplished great things. On top of it all mother in law offered to come over for a couple of hours AND she brougth lentil stew for me, SIX servings, holy moly. The first one's being enjoyed right now in good company of a non-alcoholic beer, aaaaahh the perks, before I have to get back up and start being efficient again, soon the crow's back from her walk/nap!

Lordy lordy...
Omg my body's hurting. Full speed the whole days yesterday. Bachelorette's, introduction class, private lesson and then grand opening of Dinalis pole dance studio in Gävla. Was about to fall asleep in the car while driving back home from Gävle last night so we had to stop. Elvira fell asleep in her stroller at the studio around 9pm, slept until 6am this morning, ate, went back to sleep and slept until 9am, thank god.
On todays schedule: NOTHING AT ALL!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for Elvira to sleep some during then day (apparently he likes being awake ALL day long...) sp that I can get some sleep during the day as well. My back's aching soooo bad, I need massage, real bad...
