A new mama!

Haa, dear readers. Thank you for all nice compliments. I started the blog, because I want to write down my life as an busy mum, who tries to stay in balance with all things a mum has to cope with.
You see, the blog is sort like an Mum Journal. Ha ha!

At the moment, our whole family is waiting for that nice vacation; our summerholiday. I love the weeks I am with my family and for most: I like the days of no stress. No morning rush our. No preparing the kids for school, with their schoolbags, filled up with things they need for eating, gymnastics, Daniel with his little toys (next year that is no longer allowed....serious lessons from then....he is only four, 30 septbember he will be five....grr, )

But something else; this mum is really happy because .....I lost five kilo's!!!! I am 64 kilo now.
1 april (and this is not a joke) I went for a new bikini's. Well, I'm not fat but I was not satisfied at all what I saw in the mirror. Dear me. I promised myself that I am going to try to lost some kilo's; the aim was 65 kilo's. After 2 and a half month; the result is an new mama!!!

I started to swimm twice a week and changed some things in my eatingpatern. And I do some belly-excercise'. You Know; I train my straight and oblique abdominal muscles. I do this every evening, ten minutes (after the children are sleaping).
First I had real muscle pain. Tjeah; I am fourty so I'm not so fitt like I was 30;).
But now, I really feel fit. And you know what; I feel 20 again. Ha  ha. And I and I fitt into an old skinny jeans again! I had the pants almost trown away.....
As a reward, I bought one really nice dress. I love my new self. Hi Hi.

But now I have to have discipline to consolidate my figure. And that is extreme hard work. Last week my oldest son had his 7th birthday. The whole week there were friends and of course; the chlidrenparty, last saturday. The day after that, yeasterday, I took a complete restday,you can imagine, or not?!
Yesterday, no excercises att all (my husband was also very tired) and we eat the last peace of cake, hooray!

This morning I went for my swimming and the water was really cold; In Holland, it is still no summer; 15 degrees up here...the result: After the swimm a took myself a warm cup of chocolate....

Well, enough chatting for today, my children are having a free afternoon; and you know what we are going to do: swimming in an warm swimmingpool (my oldest son has got 2 free tickets; Yes!!)
See you!

chilly mama!

Today I had a enorm good feeling about myself; I have rewritten an article and Yes; It is accepted now. It means my second article will be published in de september-edition of an nursing magazine.
And an another reason to make a party is the following:
My husband will keep his job; O dear, he was so stressed the last few months....and I was also, you can imagine!
Thus now I am cooking this heavently meal for him; pasta carbonara with bacon, a lot off mushrooms, real cream and this meal will be provided with the most tasty salad whith olives, cucumber, peterselie, little tomatoes....mmm. I have a nice Chilean red wine to make a toast. Ha ha.
I will suprise him, he is late this evening, cause he had an course.
The children are doing well also; Daniel will go to group 2, Njord will go to group 4; I'm so proud about my family!
Four more weeks to work and then....holidy-time.
Time to chill, chill, from morning to evening.
See you!

Mothers for mothers!

I'm really out off my energy; today I took care of four children! Two children of my friend were with us; my friend had to work extra and had no one to take care of her two children. Well; I did all funny things with them, such as walking in de wood, after our house. We did a picknick in a wooden cottage and they played....war. Grrr. Well, with four boys, run, run, screaming for ten....
After the walk, we eat sandwiches....and at 2 o clock afternoon, they were picked up by their mum. I needed a brake, you can imagine!
And I had to do some shoppings for the boys the same day, well did you think it got easy?
They hate it to fit clothes (again some energy flew away....).
I promised myself; I only do Internet-shopping in the future...O, and I exchange my boys in 2 lovely girls, who love to shop with their mum.....I no, NO, I Love my boys....when they cooperate;)
But, then my mother in law said she had a problem for the friday. She is on friday our permanent care; well; she could not care for the boys (I in total stress, because me and my husband have to go to our jobs....mmmm....meanwhile, the problem is solved, Thanks to my dear friend;)
(she will be out off her energy to, tomorrow....)
O, and my oldest son is going to eat and play with a friend of his. Thanks You mum.
We mothers can not without each other, hi hi hi.
See You!

My back hurt...

O, o; this evening we went for a fun fair and...you know what a child wants; going in the bumper cars.
Well, this cost me my back; really, I can no longer bend over....
My children are saying the whole time; mum is an grandma....ma old....mmmm jeah; I am 40 years old now.
ha ha. Well, see You!
First I go sleep late...I love weekend!

I'm murm but especially real sad....I'm in mourning....

I'm sick of the father who killed his own childeren....the last two weeks I'm murm....feeling sick off the thought of what happened the last two weeks. Whole Holland....and I'm not suprised, our neightbour countries, Belgium, Germany, where all distracted in their normal doing, their normal living their life...all caused by de lost of two little children; a father killid himself after he has killed his own two little boys.
After two weeks, sonday afternoon, the 19e of may, two passants have found the two boys....in an water tube of a ditch....disgusting and for the most; horrible.
The whole week, my thoughts where with the children...and with their mum.
It is the conversion topic off every chatting; with my family, today, with colleagues. What in name has driven these man to do such horrbible murder. Murder of his own children. Did he plan all this?
And why did he do it? No one knows, no one can and want to understand such thing.
I look at the message on facebook posted by the mother....and read for the fourth time;
Dear Ruben and Julian; miss you so much;I will love you for ever....
I'm wordless
........................................................................................
I'm sad...and I know; whole Holland is.
Dear little boys, I hope that you are in peace....and I hope you two little boys didn't have suffered....
Dear mother; I'm thinking of you....I'hope you find the strength to cope with this enormous lost.
Your children are your life, your focus in things you do...Your aim/goal of living. Dear mother.....
I'm a little bit in mourning to......................................................................................................

enjoy doing crazy!

Dear readers; I had a real busy week but I enjoyed it. I walked the evening 4 day. In Holland this is a common walking-project. You walk four evenings with a lot of children and their parents.
After an working day and for the children, after a school day, and a fast food (mostly pasta! ) we went for a walk. I walked with a friend and her doughter, and my oldest son. My son had a very nice week. He walked with his friends and had a lot of fun. We did the five kilometres, well I can tell you. My feet hurt after the whole week! ( I am not used to walk so much).
The last evening, it is is used to walk dressed up. Me and my friend were dressed up like the Blue Smurfs, O, I had fun for tree. No one recognized mee, ha ha. See at the picture. I felt like a 39 year old child!!!! A friend of mine took some nice pictures, here they are:

My son is very proud; he got his first medal!
My youngest son walked only one evening; for him it is to exciting; thanks dear neighbor for fitting on him!(Daniel likes your food more than mine; what is your secret??..grrrr)
Well, enough chatting, see You!

O, the boys have got 2 young bunnies; they love them:)

summerfeeling!

At last, it is summer; summer is; enjoy our garden (we have 4 birthdays from May to June); me and my husband will have a special year; we are together 84 years....whaa, I'm getting old;)
We will plan a BARBEQUE-party, some weekend in June. When they predict a very hot weekend!!
Summer is also having nice summer-feet, look at the picture. I love all the different colors the summer gives us! And also summer is eating out on our terras. Of course with an ice-cold cola or what do you think of a glass of sweet white wine??!! (or rosee...).
I'm enjoy holiday now together with my children. See you!!
