Heartbreaker.....

So of course while mommy was enjoying her girls night out...(more about that later....I had a blast)

My baby boy was having his heart broken....sigh...& I wasn't home.....

I made it home at about 2 am this morning... Bjorn's alarm went off at 5:oo...I rolled over & asked how Dane's "Boy" Scouts went last night (here in Norway boys & girls do scouts together until they get to a certain age....)

"Ugh...not good... Amalie broke up with Dane & he burned his hand in the fire...." Me..."Shit..."

last night was the first meeting after Christmas... Dane was SOOOO excited to get back & see this little girl... my mother had sent him a Hannah Montana bag from the states to give her for Christmas....

I suggested he waited to see how it went, before he gave her the bag...(Thank you lord....)

So this morning after he woke up, he crawled into bed with me & said "Mom, Amalie dumped me..." I asked what happened & said as soon as he walked into the meeting she gave him the
"Its not you...its ME...speech..." She is now going out with a boy from her class... "they saw each other at the pool & it was love at first sight..." (I think I was 19 before I perfected my "It's not you, its ME"..speech...)

HOLY CRAP... can I just remind you all that these kids a NINE...9.... i say good riddance... This little one is moving a little TOO FAST for my baby boy....

But still his little heart is broken.... he asked me if he could quit boy scouts.... (my heart is breaking now...)

Do I sound like a horrible person if I have the urge to go over &
pull this little girls pig tails?

I sooo don't think I am ready for all of this... here's hoping we wait a while before he falls in "love again!"

"I am so glad that you have a group of Americans that you can be with.

Do you speak English at home with the kids - or Norwegian?

Thanks for the questions Kat.....
I speak English at home to the entire family... Dane & Bjørn speak English back to me... Eva speaks..."Nor-English".... The rest of the family speak Norwegian all of the time....I TRY to speak only English, so that my kids will always be comfortable speaking BOTH languages.... it is such a benefit of being part of a multi-cultural family...... Once i leave the house however, it is all Norwegian, all of the time...

And here is another question for ya. There are a number of ex-pats living around us. Some from Australia, England, Germany, Japan. And they are like supah-stars. Cause they are from somewhere else.

I know Americans LOVE the whole "foreign thing...." I think it is so endearing that Americans will try to throw out whatever they can in order to speak the foreigners language... HAR DU DET BRA? usually yelling it...(because it is easier to understand when you yell) I'm Norwegian (German , Italian) my great great great grandpa came over...."

Umm...nope, it isn't the same excitement over here... every once & a while someone will get excited that i am an American because they lived in the states before or have family there... but it isn't really that "cool" over here... then again... maybe they do think it is cool, but just wouldn't say that too me? Norwegians tend to be pretty reserved, so I can't see many of them stopping me & saying "OMG, your American...SOOO COOL!"

& a Big ol Thank you to Marsha for the nice comment & for following me...
I appreciate it.. you made me feel like a SUPAH-STAR..
