Im really tired of how hard it is still for Una and Hörður to accept that i need to get out sometimes. I guess i go out 3 times a month, and even though Hörður is almost 10 and Una almost 8 years old, they still whine and complain and give me a hard time. My friend has the same problem with her 8 year old boy, in fact he said to her " Your are not allowed to go out, you are a mom" We are both divorced moms, and it´s sort of difficult to explain to the kids that we need a break from them.

Just came from the gym, and it´s really hard working out.. lifting weights and all that, but the worst thing is.. i have to stop drinking Coke. Arrghh.. my weakness.

Wow.. what a day. I´m starting with the private trainer again, working out is the top priority now. And at the same time that i´m throwing away kilos, i´m throwing away all sorts of completely useless inner junk. No turning back now.

People define the mood of others be different standards. A person that knows what it is to be genuinly depressed doesn´t think that someone that complains a bit about everyday life has it bad. But on the other hand if you are used to that someone never complains and always puts on a brave face, then i guess it looks bad.

My blog in Icelandic

My friend was born and raised in CA. USA, even though she is very much icelandic. She is going to the states in a few weeks to visit her folks, and Hörður had one request to make. Would she please buy him a pack of TRIX cereal.. He is quite obsessed with the fact that he has not tried every cereal there is on the market. Our good friend Nishanalee in Minnesota sent us lots of cereal and it was like christmas for the kids, all their little friends came over to see the excotic packs...My kids are quite the celebrities in our apartment block.

It´s often said that icelanders are very cold and can appear rude and that it take a while to get to know them but then they are your friends forever. I had never really thought about how uncomfortable it can be then, to be in situation with people you don´t know, some sort of small social gathering and.. well the people are cold and rude.. and nobody really sais anything.. Its actually very sad.

Well it is neve boring to be a single mom with 3 kids, every day has its challenges. I wanted to see the gay pride parade in Reykjavik yesterday. But that is no simple task with a kid like Hörður He did not want to go with me and he did not want to stay behind.. It was not until a good friend came up with the idea to bring her boy along also, that Hörður could be persuaded to come along. And in fact he quite enjoyed the parade of colorful people. He held his ears the whole time becouse he doesn´t like noise and we did not stay for the concert but all in all he managed it very well.
