Frustration!

I have been pretty much brain dead the last couple of weeks, I keep losing things (in my brain) and have felt really worthless as far as getting anything done, because I just titter around and when my brain are finally able to accomplish anything, it's bedtime...

I had hopes though, that this week that would change. Because then we would be all at work (except for 4 days, that would be the first time this year) but no.

Last Thursday the boss gave one person leave to go to camp for 2 weeks. I wasn't arguing, but disliking. We cannot argue so to speak, she would have gone anyway.

Today the boss says one person have to go to another work station because the person attending that is on sick-leave for three weeks.

That leaves me and the one working 80% here. We both have young kids (albeit hers is 1,5 years older than pup) and... Yeah. It won't make it less heavy than when we were two working 100% and one working 50-60% (it comes down to 180% vs 260% before, aka half the workforce...)

I want to hit something! HARD! I have lacked the energy for my training (coaxing myself to at least go once a week under threat of violence) and it feels, my body is complaining about my heavy work when there is nothing to make the muscles work a different way and thus giving them ease. FUCK! Yup, it comes down to that kind of language. I really hate being short on staff, and this isn't even because "my" staff is sick... Fuck fuck fuck. I had really hoped for, and seriously needed, the ease and energy I hoped the lessened work load would bring.

wanting

I want that house. It would work nicely for us for a few years to come. But we can't afford it. Mortgage + "rent" would be pretty much what I get after taxes... Sigh...

another house viewing

This is the back of the house, the small window being the kitchen and the big ones the living room. I like the deck. Here you'll find the rest of the realtor's pictures: fx.ax
Though the price is quite high, the monthly cost is very low (80€+electricity) so I'm pretty sure there will be a bidding war because it's a desirable location. We won't be in it, already at starter price it's twice our limit, but I wanna see if it could work since it's about 6 m2 smaller than our current apartment.

baglady

My new baby next to my sisters dear. I still love her stripes more, but even if I had fond it for sale somewhere I wouldn't have wanted to buy one that were exactly the same.

Somehow, on my trip yesterday, someone followed me home... Just a tad bit of difference in color, size and price =) I'm uncertain what the big Dakine came down to in the end (after shipping, taxes and such) but a little over 80€ is my estimate, it's been mine for a few weeks now =) The small Oilily will be counted up at the end with the other purchases, but let's just say the price was very appropriate according to size =)

While taking the picture above, this fold out bag and cute purse (and my crummy old travel wallet) were inside the Oilily, so it keeps shape while fairly empty.

This was inside the Dakine =) Two binders, a coke-bottle, a book, a tunic, a thin sweater and a cardigan, a tiny purse, a carrot/cheese/whatever slicer, my mp3-player (Creative Zen Stone, about 10.000 electro-years old) and gift for my mother in law. Inside the handbag. There was room left over, not much, but I would have been able to have the stuff from the little one inside with no problem, though then it would have felt weird walking around with the empty pink one =)

The slicer. My mom have one just like it and I've been looking for one for years!

The fold out bag, Oilily as well,  with th two binders and a down pillow inside.

From the front, with the pocket you fold it into fully visible for size comparison.

The whole of the throve:
Oilily handbag: 25€ - 60% = 10€
Slicer: 3,50€
Big Marimekko purse: 11,20€
Small Marimekko purse: 8,20€
Oilily fold out bag: 23€ - 60% = 9,20€
Mother in laws gift: 3x3 = 9€
Total: 51,10€
It was a fair deal more than I had intended to spend, I had intended to spend 0€, food excepted, but yeah, some stuff you just know that if you don't you'll regret it later. These were all such, except for the MIL's gifts, but nah, I would have regretted those as well.

me & i summer collection

I had an invite to a party just days after the summer collection was release, unfortunately there had been a double-booking and it was canceled at the last minute. Not a biggie for me who had very little time that day and had already spied ot the collection online at: meandi.se and knew what my "must have's" were. I had a few "maybe's" but they pretty much came down to texture so I left them, I'm sure there'll be another invite to a party soon enough =)

Here's my orders for pup:

 Size 98/104 and if it's the same green as they've had before in the collection I'll love it =)

These baby pants have finally come in size 98/104 and were my very first "must have", we have red, black and brown ones (all with different animals in the pocket) in a size smaller. They still fit, but it's on the edge. We've had the red ones for a year, first with the hem folded op too his knee on the inside, and now with it fully stretched to his ankle. They are amazing, and they stay nice throughout endless washing, ours to look worn, but then again, after a year of continuous wear and wash I think that is allowed!

And the maybe's:

a donkey, I thought the back was kinda fun =)

And this circus t-shirt looks kinda fun too.

day off

Today I have a day off. Absolutely wonderful! Reason is I'm going to Helsinki tonight, coming home tomorrow night, and that means I'll miss a weekend-day with my nuffer-love, and we can't have that, now can we?

So far I don't know how I'll have the time for all things needed to be done, or remembering all of them for that matter =)

check how my dear broken bicycle is doing in the repair shop, see if stuff I have for pricing at the second hand place has been priced, laundry, cleaning, napping with pup and so on and so on...

Britax Two Way Elite

Edit:: Picture removed due to lack of space

Pup's grandma when to Sweden yesterday, and brought back a new car seat for her car. It makes everything easier if she is to pick him up from daycare and such. I told her to get a Britax Two Way because it's the biggest seat on the market to a reasonable price. There are two other seats fighting about the "biggest" spot, but one is known for a small harness (aka not ideal for a chubby kid) and the other is really not bigger, just better shielded on the sides and costs half a fortune.

And as you can see, my pup sits very well in it. He loved it instantly and wanted to go for a ride =)
