late night musings ...

my boys are now sound asleep ... and i'm obviously way beyond any sleep. for some reason, i haven't been getting enough sleep. could i be suffering some tinge of stress? good lord, i sure hope not. but the tell-tale signs are there: sleepless nights, muscle aches, stiff neck and craving for sweets. ussch ... such bad vibes ... what an awful thought!

work today is as crazy as any other day. actually, i have yet to have a "calm" day at work - i realised i haven't had that for quite some time ... i sort of miss the slow paced workday. the time i could take my tea break at 10 am, lunch at 12 pm and another tea break at 3 pm - mind you, that's the regular Swedish breaks at work. when i get to work at 8 am, time would pass by like a speeding bullet - i'd miss my morning tea break, have lunch at 2 pm (not much room left for the afternoon tea) and call it a day at 5 pm. and for me to try to recall what i have accomplished during the day is another thing - i still feel i have loads of things undone. ain't that nuts?

alexander was waiting up for me when i came home ... he was too eager to do his homework but wanted me to be around to show me that his lessons were "easy as pie". he was so proud of his work and he showed me the "excellent"-stamp in his reading book from his teacher. his precious prize from mommy dear? a big, big hug!

we ate dinner as alexander blabbered non-stop about what went on in school and what he wanted to do after dinner - he asked permission to surf in the internet! we said ok for half an hour and gave him his marching order to bed afterwards - no further discussions ensued. it was an order!

twas raining when i left the office ... am glad i had my scooter with me. it's rather odd to have a spring temperature at 6 degrees Celcius this rainy winter day - very unusual. there was a storm with strong winds only last friday ... and this week is all but rain - but a warm temperature of 6 to 8 degrees Celcius. who am i to complain?

ahhh ... me and my late night musings. where's my sleep? i'd better catch another boring movie reel on telly ... it may send me to my much awaited deep slumber.

see you around ...
