Sorry for the last negative post....

I'm baby stepping! I'm trying NOT to let other's negative outlook into my life.

It's hard sometimes when the people around you draw you in. I'll do better I promise!!!

Enough of that....

It's ONLY 49 MORE days till DollBaby(my youngest sister)+Family get here..YAY!!! It's the first time in 5 years we have all been together and I am so excited to see them all. Well we talk on the phone daily.( 2 or 3 times a day shhh.) To have them here in SWEDEN is going to be great..I never thought I would say this but I hope we have ALOT of snow.

Our fall has been so warm without a snowflake in sight.

I can't believe I am living in northern Sweden and wishing for snow!!!

Big Girls don't cry!?!?

Our 13 ops almost 14 yr old has showen us just how mature she can be this week. I should say SEVERAL TIMES this week. But for now two come to mind...When her beloved dog died.She said"I'm crying for me NOT for Chloe she is out of her pain.
She has even had some major health issues this week... However,when we ask her how she is feeling she NEVER ONCE complains.She just simple says "I've had better days".



Then you have people in your life despite their age, are nothing more than "attention grabbing crybabies".They cry,complain and hurt people just to boost their own "inferiorty complex"! It gets them the attention they crave not nessecarily the attention they want..It shows us all just how ridiculous and immature they REALLY are!


Big Girls Don't Cry!?!?! Oh trust me SOME do!!!


Peace,Love,Hope...

Season of Change...

In more ways than one. It's turning out to be such a beautiful fall this year..My favorite time of the year as a matter of fact.

I love the beautful vivid colors of the fall leaves lying on the still green grass.

The wild mushrooms are in abundance this year.I seriously can't believe how many have sprouted up.Some as large as a salad plate.
I've noticed lots of folks out and about with mushroom knives and baskets in tow.I do NOT have the nerve or knowledge to pick my own.The only mushrooms I'll be picking are the ones from my local grocery store.

I really should share some fall photos...nah maybe tomorrow..

Mimi OUT!

Starting to settle down..

'round these parts??Man it's been a busy week.I couldn't sleep at all last night and finally gave in at 4 am and got out of bed.I think it's because we have had such a busy stressful week and things are finally starting to settle down.

The whirlwind trip up north to move S into his new apartment went smoothly..hahahaha semi-smoothly.

Between dentist and hair appointments, shopping for school clothes aka undergarmets and a new winter jacket( by the way thanks D.B. for the nice BIG box of clothes from the Good Ol' US of A. I for once stayed within budget..No I didn't, I lied...) and a few" I don't want to start 8th grade" comments.I think E is ready to start too.

I need to relax but K-aint(yes I DID spell THAT word! LOL)
I guess the " It's after 5 don't drink out of mom's glass" rule needs to kick in BEFORE 5 today.
I wish I knew why now that things are settling down I feel MORE stressed.
Gosh I'll be glad when H gets her degree so she can analyze me.No wait scratch that ,she might have me committed into a psychiatric hospital.( let's hope that girl is a slow learner.)

Amazing Person ..

She's barely 16 and yet she inspires me to become a better person.
My niece Katie.
While other kids her age spent their summer at malls , beaches or just hanging out with friends. Katie spent part of her summer in Honduras with an outreach program spreading God's word to the less fortunate.
What an amazingly beautiful person inside and out..By the way,I think she gets her outward beauty from her favorite Aunt Mimi.

This time next week...

S will be back up in Luleå preparing for his second year at University.
HIS SECOND YEAR??? E is starting 8th grade OMG 8TH GRADE??? Where did the time go?
I'm NOT ready for my babies to grow up YET!!!
At the same time it feels great seeing them plan their future.
WAIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP!!!

I give...

God ALL the praise and GLORY for working HIS will in our lives!
