“You look like an old woman, Mommy”! Is what Little T told me one morning this past week. He based his observation on the fact that I was wearing a hat pulled down over my face and was crouched over with bad posture while pulling up my coat. I was suffering from a head cold … Continue reading Living in the moment
Teething at 39
This past Saturday Little T had an appointment for some major dental work involving 3 crowns and a spacer for a tooth that was pulled a few months ago. All this required work is a result of cavities. Never having one myself, it is something that I am having a hard time dealing with. When … Continue reading Teething at 39
The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
There’s nothing worse than hearing a strange noise in the middle of the night that jolts you from sleep. You quickly go through your mind anxiously trying to figure out made the noise, so you can dismiss it and go back to sleep assuring yourself that someone isn’t in the house wanting to rob or … Continue reading The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
Moving On
During the last four weeks of delightful visits from friends and parents, we also managed to find a new house to rent which we get January 1st. The decision to move was not completely ours to make; the company we work for has been asking us for many months to move closer to the head office. … Continue reading Moving On
Life is a Circus
Ever have one of those dreams where you show up for school and no one is in the schoolyard? Well, that dream was reality for Little T this week. Only, it’s not his fault since he is not responsible to get himself to school on time. The blame goes 100% my way. Before you go tsk … Continue reading Life is a Circus
Making new friends
I have learned that a downside of your Hubby being your best friend, is that it may distract you from making other friends. I love spending my time with Hubby and look forward to our “Feierabend” when we sit beside each other and just talk. I can tell him anything, and look forward to sharing … Continue reading Making new friends
Best gift of all
I have to admit, I don’t enjoy buying gifts for other people. Mainly because I’m not very good at it. To prove it, every t-shirt I bought my nephews for their birthdays a few years ago didn’t fit most of them. Maybe I was secretly hoping they would stop growing up on me! Hubby and … Continue reading Best gift of all
Making time for Me
After reading my last post, a friend of mine wrote to me saying You will so enjoy a few hours to yourself with Little T going to 'real' school. Funny, that had never crossed my mind. Instead, I had thought about the extra hours I will have in the day to work more, get back … Continue reading Making time for Me
Schulanfang
The first day of school. In Canada, the first day of school starts with Kindergarten. Here in Germany, Kindergarten starts around age 3 and typically lasts 3 years and is kept separate from school (similar concept to daycare in Canada). The real deal here starts when you are 6 years old. They call it Schulanfang … Continue reading Schulanfang
Lost and Found
This past Sunday, Little T pulled out this bee that he hadn’t played with in awhile and asked me to replace the batteries so it could work. Seeing this as a good excuse to stop playing Pirates, (which I am horrible at!), I quickly agreed. As I was searching for some batteries in a big … Continue reading Lost and Found
