It was easier said than done.........that to give our blog a new face or perhaps extreme makeover.
Maybe someone can give me som tips?? I am still trying on another blogentrance and am sure I will succeed eventually, but good ideas are never wrong!
I want brighter/happier colors. Personal pictures.... and so on.

Recent nights, I have had some difficulties to sleep. And this night I had a real horror nightmare.
Me, our son and a neighbours son went out jogging. We came to a steep mountain, started climbing.....not looking down. The first and second round was tricky, but the third time the neighbours son stopped and somehow pushed our son so he lost grip and fell. He didn´t scream or sound. He just fell, trying to reach whatever he could get hold on. And then there was just silence, and emptiness. I wonder if this dream sort of tried to help my brain get over the traumatic period of sickness? You know, it´s not always easy to be a nurse, knowing little about many things. A simple cold can in my mind become a heart attack or whatever.......when it comes to my children that is!



Something thoughtfull:
" A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.The sand is everything else-the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

A day, home from work

The night between sunday and monday was a bit hard on our son. Before that I was glad that he handled the days in fever above 39 degrees C without getting any febrile convulsions. But now it happened this night. Fortunately we had medication against it. The complications he has endured till now: pain in lungs, heart, stomach, legs, left shoulder and arm, earpain, dizziness, and so on. We went to the doctor yesterday. Overall and most important: Lungs and heart are ok! And finally....it seems that he is better today!!!! Thank you all for thinking and praying for him.

Now he sits beside me, looking at "bolibompa". The programleader shows her stampcollection and tells the children that when she was young, computers didn´t exist. I told David that I have a stampcollection too. He asks: Why didn´t you send email back then? .......But dad, you told me that you didn´t live a long time ago (förr i tiden).... that is really old......
When he says so, it feels that I lived when the faraos existed, or the dinosaours walked on earth!

Soon I will redesign our blog. Hope you all will like it....

the new influenza and...

Our son is sick!
Three weeks ago he begun to cough. Two weeks ago he got vaccinated against the new flu and that weekend he got fever. The fever came back this friday :-( .
Together with a worsening cough also stomachpain, arm and legpain, headache and "heartpain" and earpain ( according to himself a ten on a painscale).

I am certain that all this is not complications to the vaccine.
Anyhow, he is sick. And I want you all to pray for him.

And to anyone who read this and haven´t allready been vaccinated: Go as soon as possible!!!!
I have in my work seen enough!! This flu is nothing you want to play with!!!! If my word ever have been something to listen too, this is the time to listen extra carefully!!!!
For you and for the ones around you: Get the vaccine now!! I beg you on my bare knees!

Our bathroom

Here are finally some pictures on our new bathroom! Enjoy.....

On the last picture you can see that they put the mirror upsidedown!!! So clever....not!

And to make you even happier, I will give you what I think you´ve allready seen.......the jk wedding entrance......it still gives me tears of happiness.

All saints day

We went to make a short visit to my mothermother, Ingrid who, the toher day, came back from hospital undergoing a surgery. It was good to see her up walking again. Then we ate at a restaurant in Tumba centre and after that headed to Grödinge kyrka. We wanted to visit fatherfather and fathermother. I noticed that it would have been fathermothers birthday.

Our children bent down to the earth saying "happy birthday". We put four candles.

And then we went home.......

I don´t like problems!!!!

I don´t like problems!.........Do you?
When it comes to our new bathroom, we´ve had some hateful problems.
It begun when they worked with it. All the workers spoke in polish! We live in Eu and it´s apparently ok to hire cheap in other countries. The man putting up the tiles hadn´t been informed how we wanted the pattern behind the mirror and around it. It ended up with him tearing down ten or more tiles. Then they put the waterpipes ugly behind the closet, and connected the towel dryer wrong, and some more problems. They fixed it of course.....but I don´t like problems.
And so, I think it was this monday, we experienced a stop in the closet! I was afraid that their work was wrong here too. A guy from Comfort (not the company that made our bathroom) came today to fix the problem. He said a tube was in wrong dimension, wright under the closet, fixed it. I wrote a mail to the company that I assume they will pay at least the half och the bill.
And so.....we´ve been in need for a new washingmashine. My wife´s parents have helped us financially here! I am truly thankfull, and wish they will get highly blessed for this, and so much else they help us with. Some guys came with the new mashine. I discovered right away that it was demolished on one side. They agreed without any arguments. The evidence was too clear for anything else. I just wonder how they could not notice this before!!! So now we have to wait until friday......and did I mention that I don´t like problems?????

It´s time to make a declaration. Look at a persons life. In the beginning you are a baby, turn into a child, then youngster/youth, man/woman, old man/ old woman......dead.
I guess that people think different to when you turn into a man/woman, or into old man/old woman. If you ask my daughter, I am an old man already, but if you ask me, I´ve just turned into being a man. Anyhow, most of you will perhaps say that when a person turns into 40, then it´s definitely OLD. Well, I will be just that in december.
And how shall I say so noone will be hurt. I am an introvert person. Of course I love you all very much, but I have never really liked crowds. It´s hard to just talk a little with everyone instead of being able to sit down and really get to know the one you talk to. I don´t like the superficiality.
I don´t want to make it hard for me, to take time to order food, buy a lot of balloons etc, book place to be at and so forth.
Of course I have a huge wishlist, but I think like this: Even if some of the things I wish to have are usefull and important to get right now, everything would sound as shamefull as the respons Paris Hilton gave a reporter: "I would like to have a red ferrari". I am happy and humble when it comes to my life. Me and my family are doing well in many areas in life. I thank our lord Jesus Christ for this, and know that it might not last forever. But many people suffer a lot in our world today. My conscience will turn ugly if I wish for anything but for how I have it right now.
My conclusion is: There will be no birthdayparty. I am too introvert for that....but I love you all very much. And if you would like to give anything, give it to Anurag, or Shiloh and Jonas, or Johanna, or Marie and Andreas.
