These last few days have been... somewhat not fun. :-P I know being a parent ain't fun and games all the times, I fully expect that. But when I can't keep my eyes open when my mom comes to visit then things are quite bad. :-P I swear to anything holy, I worked so so hard to keep my eyes open and I just couldn't... I kept seeing double. Then I feel asleep for ten mins or so on her, and I felt quite bad about it. Mom didn't mind, she knows the last few days have been tough, but yeah. Not fun. :-P
Thank anything holy that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 is doing SOOOOO much better! And can start helping taking care of Alexandra... It does sound horrible, but sometimes I just wanna... be... and not be a mom. Does that make sense? Just for a few mins. :-P I haven't been able to do that these last days and that has exhausted me both mentally and physically. How the HELL do single moms do it? o.O All my respect and more!
Tomorrow I am going shopping a bit for the baptism of Alexandra on Saturday. I have TWO pair of pants that fit. And none of them are pretty... :-P So new pair of pants for me and one onesie for Alexandra that she can have under the baptisemal gown.
Oh yeah.That gown is a chapter all in itself. Full of history and oh so gorgeous. It is made from the bridal veil of my paternal grandfathers mother... My grandfather had it on his baptism, as did my father and his two brothers... My brother had it as well, and both his kids. Reason I didn't have it, was because my parents didn't marry until I was 4 years old, and my paternal grandma had some issues with that... :-P But Alexandra will be wearing that baptisemal gown. :-) It is here now, and so frail I'll probably be more nervous about that thing breaking then anything else... o.O It is over 100 years old... :-P So yeah... I'll post a photo of it in a few days. :-)
spicehobbit, who'll be Alexandras godmother, is also nervous as hell, since she'll hold Alexandra in that thing to! During the baptism itself. And she loves history and especially history of clothing... So yes, something that old really catches her interest and makes her nervous that she'll break it. :-)
I've prepared most things for the baptism party/feast/whatever you call it... On Thursday and Friday though I'll bake six (!) cheesecakes, since the total people coming is 30... o.O Relatives and friends... Mostly relatives from my side of the family, since there are so many there. *lol* Crazy, crazy...
Anyway!
I am glad all my Christmas cards/care packages got to the recipients as it should. :-) I didn't send as many this year, but I figured if you wanted it, you'd let me know, right? Just a few I sent to extra. :-D
I did get a laugh though when I got a thank you PM frommelluransa... Since she'd made a video of her trying out the Swedish candy I sent... Specifically the Lakritsal. X-D I know liquorice is a very specific taste, and hence I sent the kindest one. Laktritsal is not as strong as other liquorice candy is. But still it got a pretty funny reaction from melluransa... X-D Thanx for the laugh you gave both me and peting73!
Also I found this on the net:
Which reminds me thatpeting73 soooo owes me a night out with my best friend spicehobbit... We've seen all the other Twilight movies at the movies, so we'll be damned if we won't see Breaking Dawn Part 2 there to! (Yes, it still runs...)
