We bought her a "walking car"! I didn't want to have a very girly one (they are quite expensive and I'm not a bank...) incase we someday in the future have a boy so it can be reused. We bought a Toy Story car! (but PLEASE don't tell Michelle!!!!) I hope she'll like it =)

And now I only have to gifts left! My dad and my brother! What on EARTH do you buy to a guy who has it all? (and whatever you buy he could make him self...) I need help!!! Do you have a great idea you could lend me? Perhaps I'm not the perfect Daddys' girl, since I don't know what to give him?!?!!?

It's now been ten minutes since my last sentence... And now I'm down to just having my dad left on my check list! Great sister of mine just gave me a great idea! So... Daddy... You're the only one left! What should I get you? Poor guy... You didn't even get a birthday gift... =(

Love,

Pascale

Today I'm going to look for Michelles Christmas gift! We'll start the day with  lunch at Märsta Krog (I haven't been there for a loooooong time now...) and then I'm heading for the toy stores! =) I'm thinking of buying a "walking car" (but don't say anything to Michelle!!!)

Something like this:

What do you think?

So, now I have to get dressed!

Love,

Today I visited more stores than I've ever done in one day! But let's start the story from the top! I woke up, called my mom, she said hi.... Just kidding... We decided to go to Kista Galleria anyway and all most 5 minutes later Michelle decided to go to sleep... So we had to wait for her to wake up before we went...

Finally in Kista I thought I'd buy a red extra long tank top (Swedish: linne). And I mean... How hard can that be in December? Apparently much harder than I thought! I went to (probably many non Swedish persons wont know all of these stores but hey, I live in Sweden...) H&M, Gina Tricot, JC, KappAhl, Lindex, NEXT, Åhlens, New Yorker, Sisters, Cubus, Esprit, MQ and some "no name stores" and NONE of these stores had a long tank top in red color... Half of these places didn't have long tank tops at all, the rest of them had, but they didn't have them in red. They had them in orange-red... And one shop assistant in JC even said "well the tag says 'clear red'". I just look at her and said "well, the tag it not imortant, I want it to be 'Santa red' and this is orange". And she still didn't want to realize that!!! So her co-worker had a shirt with a little red on it and I said "well, I'm gonna wear this top together with other things in that kind of red color so I don't want them to be in so different tones"... Can you imagine her answer? "How do you know that it is THAT exact color?!?!?" I just looked at her as if she came from another planet and just when I was about to freak out on her, her co-worker jumped in and said "well she probably need a more DEEEEEEP color you know?????" How dumb can one be?

I finally found what I needed when I entered Monkii (first time I ever buy somthing from that store!). I asked the assistant if they had what I needed and she says "no". Just when I turned to go my brother says "Pascale, isn't this what you need???" He's holding up a red dress and I directly see the possibility to just cut it of and make it as short as I need it. But then the (smart) assistant says "but that's not a tank top". Did I care?!?!?!??! I've been looking around the whole galleria visiting EVERY store to find a tank top and you just have a tank top in a dress format. I promise to pay for the part I'll cut of! =)

While searching for the red tank top I also bought a pink one from Gina =). And as a true "daddys girl" I also went to "Clas Ohlson" (a tool and all-around store). While in New Yorker I saw this SUPER CUTE t-shirt!!!! It said "Daddys girl" and had a little heart on it!!! I really liked it, but Peter said it wasn't nice... So I didn't buy it... But now I'm having second thoughts and I want it... We'll see =)

It's Sunday today and the week is soon over. Michelle is wearing her second or third set of clothes today, so we are improving! Maybe the "bad week" is over too for me...?

I saw Twilight and New moon yesterday... And I must say that I'll probably never see these movies again... Twilight was better than New moon, but it's not a great movie... But I promised Peter I'll see them all, so we'll see if I'll see Eclips tonight... I've heard my sisters say "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" and I guess that it means which guy they want the girl to choose (I've forgotten her name all ready...). So if I would join any team... It would probably be Edwards team! Haha! Something that bothered me through Twilight is that the girls make up is done badly! She's so pale! I understand that the vampires are pale, but why is she so white too? They fixed that in the second movie!

So... Now it's time to fix the last things before Michelle needs to go to sleep. And she has to take her penicilin "neutral". I've been mixing the penicilin with jam to hide the taste of it. But for two nights I've not been sleeping since she can't sleep because of all the sugar!!! And I didn't get it until a few hours ago... I REALLY need to sleep tonight so I'll have to take the fight when she needs to take it. Which is about now... So I'll talk to you later!

Love,

Pascale 

Today I went out of the house for the first time since Thursday! Not that it is sooo long ago, but still... I threw the carbage and then I went to Valsta and bought detergent. After that I continued to MAXI and bought other things I needed. I aslo lost my wallet! I was carrying my very heavy bag and I must have pushed out the wallet from my pocket on my way to the car... When I come down the car I realize that my wallet is missing! And that feeling is so... Well you know it... It can't be described! I put my bag in the car and went back for my wallet and there it was! Someone picked it up and gave it to the cashier. Thank you who ever you are!

We decided on Inception yesterday! The movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. And I must tell you! That was a GREAT movie! It was hard to get some times (specially the end!!!) but it was really good! I recommend it! Tonight my brother wants me to give Twilight and New Moon a chance. We'll see what I think about them... I'm not that excited though... What are you guys doing tonight?

Love,

Pascale

Sorry about this topic... But how much shit can come out of a baby that is so small?!?!?! Due to the penicilin Michelles stomach is not working properly and her poop is veeeery loose... And the poor diaper can't handle that! So what happens? Well, everything (well... much of it) comes out of the diaper and sticks on her clothes! So... Today I've washed several sets of clothes. First two-three times ended up in the machine, but then I had to hand wash the rest so she will have anything to wear tomorrow! And it doesn't make it any easier that I'm soooo tired my self and can barely stand up... Michelle is sleeping now... I'm guessing there will be at least one more change of clothes before we will end this day... But I'm hoping not! I'm running out of detergent (Swedish: tvättmedel).

My brother is at MAXI buying food and tissues and other things we need. He's really helping me out!

We're probably going to watch a movie later on... We'll see what we decide on...

Love,

Pascale

Today it's friday and I was supposed to go to a Christmas party, buuuuuut I cancelled since Aphram also had a Christmas party and we decided to go out on a "date" for the first time since Michelle was born... As you may have guessed, that is cancelled as well... I feel better than yesterday, but my headache is not kind to me... And my throat is getting worse too... Perhaps I'm having a cold and yesterday was a result of the Gocart? I maybe just drove too fast? Round and round and round until my body said ENOUGH!!!!!

Now, I'm sitting in my couch watching Michelle taking out all the cd:s from the cabinet... It's apparently very interesting since she does it all the time...

Btw! Have you seen the question I've asked? You can participate in my voting! "When do you celebrate Christmas?" You find it below my picture to the right.

Do you have any tips on what we can do today? Or tomorrow...? I'm soooo bored! Now it's time for "Alvedon" (For non Swedish speaking persons: Alvedon is like Aspirin)

Thursday... It's the 9th of December and today I celebrate my dads birthday... Unfortunately I forgott all about it today... Today I also celebrate Michelle for being with us for 10 months... Sadly I remembered it while she was sleeping... Today Aphram went to work for the last time in like 6-7 months (he'll be staying home with Michelle instead of me), but came home because he is feeling very bad. He was supposed to work until tomorrow... I went for my GoCart with my colleagues (my brother told me I should go and meet up with them, he'd fix the rest!). I didn't manage through half the evening, got sick my self and had to go home... I must have looked like a ghost, because people looked at me with a strange look in their eyes... And then I saw my self... And yes... I was sooooo yellow... You could almost think I wsas a character in "Simpsons"...

So here I am... Sitting on my couch with fever and a stupid flu! I'm freezing so badly...

Thank you Peter for taking so good care of us three! You're my favorite brother!

Love,

Pascale
