Keeping the promise and first comment

Hi,
Yes ! It's me ! I'm doing it again (lol)! I promised to come back here more often and that's what I'm doing. And you know what else?

I had my first comment EVER today

Gosh, I'm so excited, it made my day !!!

TY very much, I soooo much appreciated your sweet comment !! You're darling !!!

So how are you today? I'm fine, had a nice day with my little son, we've been playing in the sand, he's been my little helper watering the flowers and later that day we went cycling or better walking as he has one of those little bicycles for beginners where the kids have to walk...it's been one of those beautiful days of early spring with fresh air and slightly warming sun, birds are singing and you just go out, play with your son, sit on a bench to catch some sunrays and simply feel at ease....

Where is Jana?

Oh, yes, she went on a 3 days trip with her teacher and her classmates...she's been so excited...
It was fun seeing my 9 year old pack her suitcase. She took some perfume and lipstick, some fancy clothing and some of the "normal" stuff, some sweets for the planned party (the girls were already planning parties... lol) and she was too excited to go to sleep the evening before they were supposed to leave and too excited to sleep longer than 5.30 am the next morning.

I got kind of angry when she woke me up that early, telling me that she spoiled her already overloaded suitcase when trying to also pack her frog ( Miss Grown Up Lipstick needs her sleeping froggy !!!) into it...the suitcase didn't close nor open ...Oh how I love mornings like these! It's like packing bags for a holiday trip with my husband!!!
Some discussions and mechanical tricks later we solved the suitcase problem and Froggy had to stay home.

It's not that it's her first time away from home, but the first time away from family...she's been with her grandparents several times for a couple of weeks but this is totally different from the family stuff...she'll be coming home tomorrow, let's see what she's telling me....guess she'll be tired as hell - hopefully - which would really be something special, as Jana is always very energetic and full of screwed ideas.. (wondering where this comes from...hmmm).

Joshua didn't seem to miss her too much, maybe because he now had some quality time with his Mum and only with his Mum. No jumping tiggerish Jana zooming around with him, making him play her games, as she doesn't like playing his little "Hello - I'm a car - I'm little" - games any more.
Just Mum and an entire day for his games only, making a puzzle, reading a book or playing cars, helping Mum water the flowers, play in the sand, take a nap, eat something and be the little big man in the house and not the little brother.
He also wanted to go to bed earlier than he usually does, guess it's also because he didn't have the feeling of missing something and Jana wasn't there to goof around with him, so that he was able to calm down.

Now everyone is ready to analyze my family situation....it's getting late now and I should go to bed earlier than usual.

Good night and take care wherever you are

Sigh !!!

Now that it took me a million years to start this blog again, I finally made it ! I admit that I'm a lazy blogger...but I have an excuse: I have to write in English which is not my mother tongue...

What happened the last months...I started up as exclusive designer at scrap2gether.com, I started writing some tutorials for beginners in german english and with german screenshots (if this isn't something really special ;) ), I got me a new digital camera Nikon mirror reflex and now have to learn to really use it, I'm still screwed and chaotic, full of ideas and I'm still a hopeless coffee addict, guess this won't change.
So you see, nothing really changed.....oh no...something did change:

I bought me a new bag saturday...I loooovvveee the color and I think its kind'a cool..I must tell you that I actually hate handbags for women as long as it's those little tiny ones who just give space for a lipstick (I don't really like them either). I prefer those big, deep and spacey bags that make you search your purse for hours and that can keep all those useless things like hankies, toys, half eaten pretzels, shopping lists from about two months, cell phone, pens, tons of Gummibärchen and my favorite italian liquorice.. (list to be continued endlessly)..This time I think I'm still in the "women-like handbag range" but it's big enough to keep most of my little bits and pieces... Here it is !!!!!



Isn't it cute? Its color is some orange-red....soooo nice !!! And even big enough for me !!!!!
Ok , gotta go now, coffee 's waiting....more to come soon (this time I'll try to keep the promise),

See you, and take care wherever you are

Sylvie
