long day/date night:)

Long suppertime with kids wanting to open the pressies Grandma sent them, and enjoying the orange Jell-o etc I made from stuff she sent from US. I´d found extremely long Zitini pasta, which I couldn´t figure out how to cook in a pot without breaking, as I just couldn´t get them to bend like spaghetti! The kids liked the spiral wheel pasta and broken zitini pasta with meatballs, sauce and cheese on top-- a fancy lasagna really. Spinach salad. Lemonade Crystal Light Grandma sent, which they got to help make. "Rocks" (choppy shaped rye yeast bread) and lussekatter, etc for supper. A bit of a rush to get them all sorted for afters, brushing teeth, bedtime songs. All asleep before 7am, then me a quick cleanup, before studying Norwegian. T and I watched a movie etc together. It´s great getting time for a romantic date night, in between supper/bedtime, school parent meetings, and my study last night! Littlest n awoke at 5am, and couldn´t get back to sleep, so I held her in my arms to sleep til it was time to finally actually get up at 6.30 am. Lots of sugars (cuddles, hugs, kisses), songs, rushing around to eat breakfast: bacon, scrambled eggs, German apple pancakes, fruit, oatmeal, and strong coffee (well for us, not the littles)! T and kids off to school, barnehage. Me finish getting ready, off to sentrum half an hour later.

Really exhausted suddenly. Great time visiting friends all day, forgot my jacket was freezing til car dropped it off, just in time for me to catch bybanen/2 buses home a little while ago. Am relaxing, gonna watch RED (Bruce Willis/Mary Louise Parker movie) til CSI comes on. THEN study for 4 hours! what I really want is to just sleep!

Hail, sun, rain, wind, blue skies. Repeat all day. Currently, nearly 7pm sun and blue skies are still out! Faux commercial farmers market on today thru weekend.

It´s cold! Will have a fire in the fireplace tonight.

After half an hour standing outside without my coat, waiting for friend to drive it over to me as I was by then already in town again, I got cold enough, that now I can´t seem to get warm! Have just made a snuggley wool bedplace on the couch, with wool blankets, flannel sheets inside a thick winter duvet type sleeping back Am dressed all in wool thermals, with thick woolen socks, with fire going, and heater on til the fire heats up everything. Snuggled in for movie til CSI, then study til late.

Outside, looks like a bright daylight snowglobe of a snowy looking hail storm!
