A lazy man

It was really long time since I wrote on this blog. There have been a bit much here lately. 

My sister in law and her husband live with us right now. And there are actually good things to have them here. I get a lot of help with cooking and such. But above all it is interesting to see how incredibly different their marriage is compared to mine. Me and my husband help each other very much even though I am the one who does most in terms of household chores, I also get help from my husband. I can ask my husband about things I want but can not manage to get myself and my husband does the same thing.We simply take care of each other. I'm very happy with how we've Arrange our time together. 

But my sister in law marriage looks hot different. She does everything for her husband, and I really mean everything. He sits down on his butt and waiting for her to do - whatever it is he wants - for him. He can not even cook tea for himself and we do  have a water boiler so there's nothing advanced to be done here.

We ate breakfast one morning - scrambled eggs - and my sister in law went to the cabinet to get some hard bread, butter and marmalade. She made the sandwich and gave it to her husband. He sits opposite her at the same table and he must extend as far as her to reach bread butter and marmalade. But he just sits there patiently waiting for his wife to fix a sandwich for him. Honestly. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes. I mean, Really? 

I had cooked meat sauce and spaghetti one day and our men came home a little later. When they got home, I told my husband that the food is on the stove. (I assumed l that they would fix dinner themselves, as my husband always does) I returned to whatever it was I did. My sister in law´s husband sat down on the couch and waited. After a moment she walks into the kitchen and starts to heat up everything for them. Adding up the plates and the whole choir. I could not believe my own eyes. Is it hard to put up food on a plate and set it in the microwave?

Say Hello to the ´I want mummy´ phase

A very intense period in my life has begun. My son has fact entered a new phase in its development. Namely mother dependence. I can not take a step without my son is just us my feet and if I go too fast, he starts whining. As soon as I sit on the floor so he starts to climb up into my arms and I'm sitting on the couch, he will crawl to my feet while he whines and lifts his arm to show that he wants in my lap. It is very cute and cozy but incredibly stressful. For right now I feel very limited in what I can do here at home because I can not take a step without him. He is like a small patch on me. But it is allright I guess, I mean how can one be irritated with such a cute face?

I am very happy right now cuz I and my son are going abroad, although only to the neighboring country to visit relatives, but it will be fun I think. It was a long time since I was there. I'm going with my family, I leave my husband at home this time. It is so nice there. My relative that we'll stay with is living in a very small village right by the sea. Oh it's so wonderful. When I was growing up we always went there, every summer. This is like my second home, you could say actually. I really long to go, but it is still a month left.

I´ve been utterly lost... in books

I have not had time to blog, I have been very busy. hmm no not with my son (although he is a real little bundle of energy.) No, the reason I have not had time to blog is because I have been utterly lost in books recently. I absolutely devour book after book after book. Right now I'm reading the series of Morganville Vampires. There are 10 books so far and it is so exciting. Yes so that is why I have not had time to blog. Hihi. Anyway. I've decided to challenge myself to read 50 books in 2011 and I have so far read 20 books so there should be no problem keeping up with it even though I am a little stressing mother of  a small child.
 
My sister in law lives with us right now. She is really nice but does not talk much of my language as it is and sometimes it´s a bit difficult to communicate but I don´t mind, I might snap up some Arabic and  she has promissed me to learn how to make Dolmar and other arabic food.
