Just needed a breather.... Tag...

Needed a few days off because I am T I R E D... I wish i could say I have been doing something constructive... but they were really just mental health days...

Thank you to all of you who have asked about Bjørn... I will be making rounds to all of your blogs... just trying to get caught up.

Bjørn is doing great... he will be in the hospital until next Monday as long as no other complications pop up.

His arm appears to be healing... & he is just finishing his antibiotics....

He told me yesterday that he hopes nothing goes wrong because "it has gone so SMOOTH this time..." What? Whatever...

So during my time away from my laptop I was tagged & received 2 awards....


TAG...Donna from Email From The Embassy tagged me for Around the World in 80 Clicks. I’m supposed to share 5 things I love about being a mother. Then tag other mom's around the world...

5 things I love about being a mother...

1.Everything about Dane..

2.Everything about Eva

OK.. I know that sounds like a cop out... but I love everything about these 2 amazing little people...
My children are the my greatest accomplishments....

1.) I L O V E the sound of them laughing...I love the giggles & the inside jokes they don't think I
get.

2.)I LOVE that they both still like to cuddle with me..... deep down... i also like that they fight about who gets to sit on my lap... who gets to lay next to me etc. (I know I am sick & twisted... who wants there kids to fight over them.?)

3.) I LOVE that my kids are F U N N Y... i know you all think your kids are funny. but seriously, my kids are like SIT COM or BBC funny. Dane & I went on a 40 min. walk last night & he had me laughing about 30 min of it...

4.) I love watching my kids & wondering what they are going to end up doing... I know that both of them will be able to be or do anything they want ... that just amazes me...

5.) I LOVE that although they can both be little shits at times, I K N O W.. that they are both kind & caring little people....

What's not to love about them & being their mommy?
