The first...

Yesterday we had the first now of the season, it is still September and we get snow!! It is too early, I am not prepared to be cold for the next 6-7 months. Is there any wonder I miss the heat of Texas. I’ll take heat and humidity any day over this crap.

On a positive note. Troy really likes this little girl at his daycare. He and Tiril has been the best of friends for a year now. Yesterday he asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend, and she said yes. When he was telling me about it, he was all excited: Mamma, she said yes and that made me sooo happy.

My grandfather.

Baby K

Baby K

Here is baby K. He has lots of black hair and is really tiny for someone so big

He is here!!!

My sister gave birth to a healthy baby boy last night. He was 4520 grams and 55 cm. I can't wait to meet him. Congratulations Inger-Lise, Knut and Celina :)

Laundry

It is a chore most of us do from time to time. There are some people out there that seems to turn on their washing machine, let it run through the cycle, and then seems to think that the clothes should be left in there to age for a couple of days, I guess maybe they think the clothes should be left in the washing machine to dry, but you guys out there that do this: You reek! Yesterday I walked almost a block behind a couple of young guys that left this trace of sour smelling clothes in their wake. Do they not smell this themselves? Is there anyone out there who actually thinks that the smell is OK, that it is not offencive to other peoples noses?

Preparing for winter

I am absolutely positively exhausted today. I went to the gym for a step aerobics class this morning, and afterwards I spent a couple of hours hauling firewood into my basement. I have to get prepared for winter, it is probably not too far away.

I need a better paying job, I found the most awsome shoes the other day. I really really want them, but they cost about $150 :( I have to buy Troy snow shoes and they run about $100 a pair, and he should have two pairs, so bye bye hot shoes for mamma. Winter gear is really expensive (probably because we have to have it). With a growing boy I had to get two sets of raingear, two snow suits, he needs winter coats as well as wool undershirts and long johns. I love being a single mom, but it sure is hard to manage on one income.
