Gleðileg Jól

Merry Christmas or as we say in Iceland Gleðileg Jól!  

The boys and I are headed to my Mamma's when I get off work today and we are going to spend the night and then we are coming home tomorrow night because I have to work on Sunday.  I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas before I go though :)

Be safe, enjoy yourselves and don't drink and drive!!

Boy Cheese

Tonight when I came home from work the boys came to me and asked what was for dinner.  I told them that we were gonna have grilled cheese for dinner.  Kobe then said to me....Mamma I want Boy Cheese!!  Not Girl Cheese!

Cutest thing ever!!!

Another Celebrity???

The other night we went to the children's Christmas party that the airport hosted where I was told about my picture being in the local paper that you can read all about here.  Well turns out that the same paper was there to take more pictures and we have another celebrity in the family.

5QF

Last night I was asleep before 9 PM.  I wrote on my facebook status that I didn't know if I was getting old or getting young cause Kobe and I were both so sleepy that we fell right to sleep LOL.  I am off until Monday and I couldn't be happier....I needed this!!!  So far today I have gone with my sister to test drive a car, took that car to my work and had one of the mechanics look at the car, went to the bank, colored my sisters hair and did my eyebrows!  It's not even 3 yet and I have gotten so much done :)

Now, I am going to spend the rest of the day cleaning house and doing laundry.  I have to have  this place in tip top shape for Christmas and I want to make sure that it's done today so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend without having to worry about the house.

Now on to 5QF.  As always click on Mama M's button to play along.

1. Do you regift...and if so, do you have a regifting horror story?

No I do not regift.  I have gotten a really ugly gift one year that was regifted to me but I was quick to get rid of it!

2. Do you know what you are getting for Christmas this year?

Nope and I am not really concerned about me... Christmas is all about my boys, not me!

3. Who brings the most gifts in your family, you or Santa?

Me!!!  Santa brings one gift and I take care of the rest!

4. What store do you love to by jeans from?

JcPenney!  They have name brand jeans for a great price....I miss JcPenney!!!  I need clothes so bad but that just has to wait till next year when I came to visit :(

5. Christmas meal: Big, All Out Meal or Snacks and Apps?

Big all out meal!!!  We have lots of yummy snacks too but we sit down to eat a huge Christmas dinner at 6 PM sharp on Christmas Eve and then we open the presents after that.

Celebrity???

Guess who is in the paper???

It's me of course!!!

Here is the link to my picture :)

I bet you had no idea that you read the blog of a famous person in Iceland huh!?!?!

Okay, okay....so, I'm not famous!!!  The other night when I went out to my company Christmas party there was a photographer there and he took a picture of me and my sister.  I had no idea he was from the local paper and I had no idea he would put the picture in the paper.  I went to a children's Christmas party today with the boys and when I got there I was informed about the picture LOL.

I had to share it with you girls though :)

Wordless Wednesday

Ho, Ho, Ho

Merry Christmas from the cute lil Santa that came by our house to visit!

Their own Language

Kobe has his own way of saying things and they are so dag gone cute that I have to share them with you.

-Spidamans are Vitamins

-Caleb C is KFC

-Brorers means Brothers

-Siddy Cup means Sippy Cup

Black flip means Back flip

Flump flip means Front flip

There are so many things he says that are adorable and I absolutely love.  Tyrique and Markus said quite a few cute things too and here a few things that I loved.

Tyrique

Funkin meant Pumpkin

Fower Fuff Girls meant Power Puff Girls

Hefalant meant Elephant

Tyrique couldn't say P and it was so cute to hear him try to say words that had a whole lotta P's in them.


Markus 

Madus Dabiel meant Markus Gabriel

Markus couldn't say R and he couldn't say G, the poor baby couldn't even say his own name right for the first 5-6 years of his life :)

Do your kids have their own language?

Waiting to Exhale

It is finally Sunday....sorry for the rest of you that don't want the weekend to end!  After working 36.5 hours this weekend I am so glad I am finally done and have the next two days off.  I am tired and can not wait to spend the next two days in PJ's....not that that is going to happen but it sounds good :)  

I am so excited because yesterday I finished my living room (besides putting pictures on the walls) and I am loving it.  The colors are white and turquoise and I think it turned out great.  It is so cozy and inviting....I woke up this morning and looking into the living room brought a huge smile to my face!!!  I love that the living room had that affect on me :)

Tonight I am going to watch a movie with the boys and then we are going to bed early.  They have school in the morning and I am just plain sleepy after a long weekend.

What did you do this weekend??  What are you doing today??

Splish, Splash I was taking a bath

Here is my little handsome guy taking a bath in his new bathtub.

I know it's really kinda small but it does it's job and it's better than taking a shower.

After his bath I snuggled my little bug all nice and tight like in a rug.

Then he pretended to be sleeping.

Then he smiled when I said....oh, my little baby is sleeping :)

The end

5 Question Friday

Ah, it's Friday!!  I love Fridays....or at least I used to before I started working every other weekend!  No, I still love Fridays!!  In 2 Fridays it's Christmas Eve!!!  Can you believe it....Christmas is almost here!!!!  I can't wait....the boys can't wait...can you wait???  Tyrique asked me yesterday if they can open a present early!!  I looked at him as if he was crazy and told him N.O!!!  I know he is excited but he has to be excited for 2 more weeks and then he can open all his presents :)

I wanted to mention an awesome giveaway going on till the end of the day.  Pennie from Mom Thoughts has the coolest giveaway where she is giving away two copies of the move Flipped.  This is one Giveaway that I would love to win....that movie looks so good :)  Click here to go to Pennie's blog so you too can enter to win :)

2. What is your favorite Christmas cookie (or candy)?

Diamond Lava

The Company Christmas party that I went to the other day was held at The Blue Lagoon.  When we were walking to the entrance we saw that most amazing site....

Diamond Lava!!!

This is Ice on top of Lava that is all over the place outside of The Blue Lagoon.  It is a beautiful place to visit and is at the top of the list for most tourists that come to Iceland.   You can read all about The Blue Lagoon by clicking on the link.  

Isn't the Diamond Lava beautiful???

Playing with the remote

I took these pictures of Kobe last night.  He was playing with the remote, he took the batteries out and then couldn't get them back in.

Trying to look innocent :)

He was so sleepy when I took these pictures and I think he was sleeping about 5 minutes later.

Busy week

This week is my long week at work and it is really crazy at work.  I was so busy today that I barely looked up from the computer all day...the only time I really looked up and walked away from the computer was to assist a customer.  This is how the weekend is going to be too.  I am so exhausted after the day that I am going to go to bed early tonight.  It is 8 PM and I feel like I have been hit by a truck I am so tired....the sad thing is I went to bed yesterday at 8 PM too LOL. 

Good night everyone!!

Here are a ton of pictures from Saturday night.

Here is a picture of my sister and I in the car on our way.  My smile was a little much but I tried to take our picture so many times and it never worked and I was getting tired of smiling LOL. 

There you have it, my weekend out :)  I had a blast and look forward to doing it again!

We interrupt this blog

I am going to take the day off from blogging today to recover after last night.  I got home at 6 am and have to say I am feeling a little bit ugh today.  I had a great time though and took some great pictures that I will post on here in the next few days.

Have a great Sunday!!!

Question week....day 7

Today marks the 7th and last day of Question week.  I have now answered 70 questions about myself this week and I sure hope you have learned a little more about me in that time lol.

Today I have been getting the extra room ready for my dad to come over here tomorrow and work on it. It was a lot of work but I am finally done and am so glad.  I am going to a Christmas party with work tonight and then after that I am going to Reykjavik to go clubbing with my bestest.  I am so excited to get out and do something fun!!  It is 3:30 and I just realized that I forgot to go to the liquor store...thank goodness I have an awesome brother in law who just offered (after I told him he has to) to go for my sister and I.  The liquor store closes here at 4 pm on Saturdays :-O

Now I am going to clean up a little bit and then I am off to get ready for my big night.  Have a great Saturday everyone!!!

Question week...day 6

Today I went with my sister, Grandma, Kobe and nephew to Reykjavik to go shopping.  We went to the mall and the boys went into the play place there and off went the adults to spend some cash :)  We went into a few stores looking for clothes (I need something to wear tomorrow night) and found nothing :(  I was really hoping to find something nice but I wasn't really into it today.  My back has been hurting really bad for a few days now and walking around today was making it even worse.  I went and got a few little presents for the shoe (from the Icelandic Yule Lads).  Then I bought a craft to do tonight for our bi-weekly Girls Craft Night!  We have been getting together for the last month and a half to do some Christmas crafts and it is so much fun.

Tomorrow night I am going out to eat with my coworkers and then after that I am going to Reykjavik to go clubbing with my bestest :)  I haven't gone out since I came here and I am so excited to get out and let loose :)

Not really...I am too impatient for them!

2. What are you doing tomorrow?


I have off from work and I plan on tackling my spare bedroom so we can put the flooring down in there. The spare room was our work room and it needs a lot of work so we decided to wait till the end to finish it so the boys and I could move in faster.  Now the spare room needs to be finished so Kobe can have his own room and stop sleeping in his Mamma's bed....as much as we both like it :)  Kobe needs to have a place to have his toys and be able to play with other kids when we have them over.

Happy Birthday Birgitta

Today is my sister Birgitta's 28th birthday.  Happy Birthday Birgitta!!!  Yesterday when I took Kobe to my Mamma's house my sister and her two children went with us.  We stopped at IKEA to pick up a thing or two and then we ate at IKEA.  I love how family friendly they are there, kids meals are free when you purchase a regular meal  So we paid for mine and my sisters meal and the three kids ate for free :)  Can't beat that!!

After that we went to Toys R Us and looked around at all the toys and let the kids play and dream of all the different things that they wanted for Christmas.  Kobe was loving all the Toy Story toys, he loves Jessie and calls her Cowboy Jessie and when he saw her he got really excited.  The kids had a blast....my sister and I had a blast too and got some great ideas for some Christmas stuff.

Random Saturday

I am sitting here at work counting down till I can go home to my babies (I have 46 minutes by the way).  I don't really know what to blog about today, yesterday I stayed home from work because I had the stomach flu....it is going around bad around here.  I vomited the night away and half the day but I feel better today.  I am a little bit nauseous but nothing compared to yesterday.  Now if only I could lose some weight due to the stomach flu lol.  

I have been watching the show The Big C that is on Showtime and lemme tell you that show is really good!!!  I didn't expect this at all but I am impressed.  I am so hooked that I only have one more show to watch and then I am caught up :)  If you haven't seen the show then I will tell you that it is about a woman who is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and how she handles it basically.  It's funny cause you wouldn't think a show about cancer would be good or funny but this one is.  So check it out if you haven't.

Let's see...what else???  Nothing really.  So, how about I end it here before I bore you to tears....maybe I did that already!?!?!?!  If I did then it's your own fault for reading this far hahahahahaha!!!

Out of the mouthes of babes...

As I was driving with my niece, nephew and Kobe today I overheard a conversation that had me cracking up and I had to share it with you guys.

Kobe-Owie, I hurt my wee-wee.

My Nephew then said-No Kobe, you say scrotums.

Kobe-Owie, I hurt my scrotums!!!  Oh, my scrotums hurt!

I thought that was hilarious LOL.

Just Thanksgiving Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!  I hope you enjoy the day with the people you love.

Today I am a little bit depressed.  It's scary to look back to one year ago and see where I was and then look at my life now and see where it has gone.  I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined that I would be living in Iceland and getting a divorce a year ago!!!  A year ago today I was sitting at my kitchen table in VA with my husband, children and Aunt Sharla enjoying our Turkey dinner and my favorite....Pumpkin Pie for desert!  

I'm sorry that I am kinda blah but this is my blog and this is my life and I am gonna write it like it is!  I have been thinking today about how I have a hard time writing a blog post on days where I am depressed and it is only because I don't want to put my feelings out there and make this blog all blah and depressed....well guess what??  Today I am blah and depressed and I am telling you all about it!!!

Today I wish I could rewind the time and go back to a year ago....I wish I could be sitting at my kitchen table in VA.  As I am writing this I have tears rolling down my cheeks because it hurts to think about all of this :(

Instead of writing anymore and writing something I am going to regret I am going to play along to Abby's Just Thursday.  Click here if you want to play along too.

Outside my window..it's dark.  

The time is..7:04 PM

Today I feel..thankful and depressed rolled into one.

I am thinking..about my boys.

At the moment, I am thankful..for my boys, family, friends

I am going..to be working the whole weekend.

I am wearing..Nike pants and a Chicago Bears t-shirt.

I wish..I could change a few things about my life right now.

I am reading..I am thinking about reading a Danielle Steele.....it has been a long time since I have read her but I think I might just crack open an old book.

I am working on..cleaning this house.

I am hoping..the next 3 days of work go by really fast.

I am hearing..Kobe and Tyrique in the background.

I bet you didn't know..I feel kinda overwhelmed at the moment.

One of my favorite..deserts on Thanksgiving is Pumpkin Pie :)

Have a great Thanksgiving and I'm sorry about my earlier outburst :(
