Horrible news this morning

Well nobody have missed the news in Chile today, and having family there is quite distressing. We have been trying to call the whole of today but with no result, all lines are disconnected. I have spent most of the day listening to CNN, and just getting more and more worried, since they live close to the epicentre.
Finely my cousin posted a message on facebook which was great to know she and her immediate family was fine, but she says that it was horrible. They woke up at 3.35am with a huge quake that seemed never to end, and later in the day at around 5pm there was one more really big quake. They were obviously really scared. And trough out the whole day there has been several smaller quakes!

I’m still waiting to hear from the rest of the family…

Mr Ischias is back!

I’m having a slipped disk in my back which is giving me problems now and then… And at the moment its now!
During the day it’s the nerve in the back to my feet that pains most. And at the night my back muscles that hurt most. I do hope it doesn’t get worst; don’t want to start taking strong medicine again…

Sorry for just complaining today, but not much fun has happened…

But tomorrow we are having family friends coming over from Manchester! They have been living in Sweden to, that’s were we got to know each other but they are from Nigeria originally.
They’ll just stay one day with their daughter, then travels to Sweden over the weekend, then stays for another day as they come back. They are really sweet people so I’m looking forward to that!

Shitty Weather

Today it’s just raining, so boring. Hate when it never stops!
This morning I took the kids to our GP. Patricia is having dry skin and a little eczema on her legs and needed to get a new prescription of the last cream she tried. That cream works miracles! So we got a huge bottle this time!

Because of the ice cold weather we popped in our local shop on the way back and bought double cream! I made some lovely hot cocoa with whipped cream for them.

Today, once again the house look shitious so I have to start cleaning and wash clothes… grrrrr it never ends...….

God morning!

This morning when I opened my eyes, I felt my body and head aching badly, so trebly tired. Then I saw two small faces smiling at me and giggling. And I felt complete. How would I ever want to change that to anything else?

Yesterday Jerry put up our new picture frame in the living room, we bought it in Manchester wile visiting our friends. And it was a pain in the ass to get it in the car, but well worth it… It dose look much smaller now on the wall but will have to do for now.


Today it’s raining, so boring! So we have to stay indoors like so many other days... and try to find something to do. Probably I will have to help Patricia with her homework and braid her hair which takes for ever, and clean, clean, clean like always..

Thank God it’s Friday.

Patricia and Maximiliano yesterday in the park.

It really feels great that the weekend is finally here!
The kids have been home from school the whole week, but with a bad case of stomach bug since last friday! But now we are all feeling much better and with Jerry (dad) at home for the weekend it will be much more enjoyable.

During our sickness period I used my time to create menus for the children I will care for (as a childminder), so I came up with 40 different dishes, with a good balance of fish, meat, chicken and vegetarian dishes from all around the world.
Now I just have to put them on to neat schedules for parents look at!

Today I washed a huge pile of clothes and did a little bit of cleaning, so not much to brag about… Yesterday on the other a hand we managed to go out to the local park and I made a lovely semolina pudding, I used to eat it when I was a child. It is nice with yam or homemade strawberry souse. And so simple to do, why haven’t I made it earlier??
