Are y'all missing me?

-
Crap... I have no time to blog... SO just going to drop a quick little update so you don't think I have really run away to Italy/Greece.

Bjørn is home... yippee... He is doing well, although still in pain. We picked him up yesterday... & get ready for this.... He will be joining us in the states a week later. So he is still missing the Chicago part... but will be there for my sisters wedding.. AND to control my spending. (lucky me)

The next few days are going to be CRAZY with the trips back & forth to the hospital with Eva... making sure Bjørn is OK at home, and trying to get everything caught up at work before I take off for 3 weeks.

Blogging news *** I got another award, (yippee!) this time from Deb... but I will have to do the post about it tomorrow... as I am off to the hospital yet again... before beating butt over to work... (2 hours late again)....

Have to keep telling myself it is all worth it...this time next week, I will have my butt parked at a pool in CHICAGO...

Things are finally looking up for you guys. Yah!
All this running around like crazy will be worth it next week when you are relaxing with family and friends.
You can always sleep on the plane!

Hi! It's been a while since I've checked your blog and wow, a lot happened. I went in hospital to be induced on June 23rd (but they ended up doing it the next day) and that's when your husband fell off the roof, then your daughter got sick, (I was just going over posts I missed)- wow! Glad to hear everything seems to be going better and hope you enjoy your trip to the States :)

Woo Hoo!!!! Hey Tressa, we are cranking up the heat just for you. You're going to need that pool so you don't fry. We'll also see if we can whip together a nice big thunderstorm and maybe a tornado.... hmmmmm, well, we'll have the tornado strike a path through an empty cornfield where it won't hurt anyone...just give a fabulous show.

Take it easy on yourself. We don't want you in the hospital.

ARRRGGGHHHH !!! My hubby keeps forgetting to log out from Google, when he's finished. Usually I check, but I've been busy making a card for a friend's birthday. My first one (the card, not the friend) so I was a tad distracted.!!

So that comment from 'Jay' is actually from me :-)

I am happy to hear Bjorn and your daughter are on the mend. Life may still be crazy but you see a light at the end of this incredibly long tunnel. Have fun on your vacation and at your sister's wedding. Being home from Europe can fly by so fast and trying to see everyone in a short period of time can almost feel like a job itself. Remember to relax and if it's important for someone to see you they can come to you. (You'll have already flewn from Europe I'd say you've met them more than half way.) This was a hard lesson I had to learn otherwise I'm afraid I might not have come home at all after my first trip d/t pure fatigue alone.

Tressa you made me pee my pants:

"Why does he have so much free time? Hmm? maybe he is in prison? What if it is your hubby seening if you will take the baite?
Do y'all think I am a little paranoid?"

I dont think the fella is in prison cause he told me last time he lives in the next town over from me (prison Bwahaahaa)
My hubby can barely use the TV remote let alone the computer (Lol)
And really...paranoid much??

Oh I'm overjoyed to hear that Bjorn is home - AND that he'll be joining you for part of your USA tour! That's fantastic news.

Keep sane, stay healthy, clear your head, and get prepared. The USA is waiting for you - and I for one am excited you'll be here.

P.S. I still think you should shop 'til you drop! You deserve it lady!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
