Sometimes...

Sometimes I wonder... What will it be like when ScabbyHouse is sold, all the tidying and anxiety over what-will-come-next is over, when the kiddies and I have our own place, have settled into our routines...? What then?? Will Life finally catch up with me and knock me off my feet or is there actually such a thing as 'smooth sailing'...?

I'm...I wanna write scared or worried (but I'm not!) ... I'm concerned (?) that there isn't such a place of Peace. That "struggle" is my constant companion... And I don't mean not in a Martyr kind of way but in a I-can't-stop-myself-from-growing kinda way and...

Is there (can there be) Growth 

without some kind of Struggle...?? 

The prospect above is both scary and intriguing. What else is out there...?? Yet, my whole Being is crying out for Peace, smooth sailing...! But.. .if I get to that place of Peace... Will "reality" hit me? Knock me over?? Will I crumble? Be the Needy one...? :\

Pondering,

House Pimpin'

Since finally picking a realtor to sell our ScabbyHouse I've been busy trying to make it look purdy. With an enormous amount of help from the BEST Family a girl can have I'm getting there. :) On Friday photos will be taken and I'm hoping house will be out for sale by the end of next week.
*fingers crossed*

Here's a few recent photos I've taken and I have to say that ScabbyHouse has never been purdier! :) I couldn't find any photo's of little peeps bedrooms (waaaay to many folders on computer!). Will add some later if you wish. :)

My bedroom with computer table and Charlie cat.

Kitchen two angles. Bottom photo peeks into blue hallway and our brown front door.

Basement "playroom". Door on left leads to laundry room and then to little E's bedroom. Door on right is toward MisterMan's green bedroom. Between kiddies rooms is a little hallway and exit out at the back of house.

Ready to sell,

New Princess!

Early this morning Sweden welcomed a new Princess, daughter to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Tomorrow we'll find out her name! I'm guessing (rooting for!) Alice or Ulrika - maybe both as per tradition she'll have 4 names. Welcome earthside little one! :)

Edited to add:
Here name is H.R.H Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary, Dutchess of Östergötland. An non-traditional name choice... not anywhere near what 'all' of us were guessing! ;) I love that Victoria and Daniel dared to be different, even if I don't necessarily love the name. ;)

Decided?!

Yeeeaaah...! :D I think I might have made a decision on what my new surname will be. :) My bestest big sis actually came up with it years ago when she was considering changing hers, when she and BIL got married. They never got round to it (it takes time to decide!) and whenever I mentioned my thoughts about changing my name she 'suggested' this one and after thinking it through and considering it against my other 'options' I cheekily nicked it! ;)

I'm pretty sure she's fine with it... :) I've promised to give her my consent if she wants to do the change too in the future. ;) Yeah, that's right, she'll have to ask my permission :) since it's a completely new surname which I'll have to register it with the Patent Office to get it approved. :) :) :) That's how it works over here! ;)

There's one person alive with a similar surname who I might need to ask permission of buuut, my version of this name might also be different 'enough' to be approved straight off. *fingers crossed!*

Interested in an update?

Ack! I don't know why you would be... ;)

I realised that just because my life is 'uneventful' it doesn't mean that the blog should be...? OR...? Who do I write for? Well...for myself is the answer to that and in 10 years when I look back through the blog and there's a gap I'll know that that's when I really wasn't up to much...! :) (which is sorta a lie, but I'll know)

Some people seem to disappear from the blogosphere when they're busy in real life - I'm the opposite! When stuff happens, I can't wait to blog about it! :D I want to 'share' or, more true, to keep the memory. :) 'Cause that's how I blog ...like I used to write in my diary when I was younger ...if 'nothing' happened, nothing was written. ...and with hindsight I think that it would have been nice to remember to write even when there wasn't any Happenings, at least once in a while! ;)

Sooo...I guess that's what I'm doing now. :D Letting you/me ;) know I'm still not up to much and yet...loads...

Update:

Soon-to-be-Ex is staying at a friend of his, 

realtor coming tomorrow, 

kids have had a tummy bug, 

I'm loving being back at uni and 

I'm totally addicted to twitter, 

tummy bug and stbEx out of house means missed Meeting and falling a bit behind at uni but I'll catch up. :) 

Realtor visit means tidytidytidying and sort-throw-organise! Brother-in-law sorted us out with a 'new' oven and sisters and I 'redecorated' the house at the weekend. Love my Family!

New surname has still not reveled itself to me...I'm sorta sure but yet not...

Update over and out! ;)

Love&Light,
