Hawaiian themed Christmas party!

That's nothing you've heard before, is it? Sat here in my bikini and a sarong, feeling the tropics while being at a Hawaiian themed Christmas party. I can't imagine spending Christmas here, it's going to be so weird, and wrong!

Even though it's going to be weird and I'm going to be alone I will get to open some gifts that my lovely family sent down! I did not expect any gifts so I was shocked when a parcel came for me! But I am really glad that they sent it, maybe I will get to feel the Christmas a bit around me when I am opening them :)


Mollys' Cousin is here for 10 days! Lewis, he is a hand full, but he's fun to play with! Molly loves him so it's easier to take care of them together than Molly alone ;) I am getting a bit tired though since I have been working, counting tonight, 6 nights at shags this week! One night I had to work 9 hours! Tiring! But worth it for the money ;) I will definitely have lots of money to travel with in February! With the hours I work now, and since I will be working during Christmas and New years. Money money money...


It's weird with Linnea gone now, not gonna meet her for two weeks and then she's leaving again 3 days after she gets back! Leaving me behind here in Darwin.. :( I reckon she is having a good time though, Bali now and Sydney afterwards. You can say that I am quite jealous of her :P

Christmas is closing up...

The Christmas feeling is on top - hot, humid and the Christmas tree in town is right next to some palms! Santa Claus is visiting the mall, taking pics with kids in summer clothes. It will be awesome not to have a cold, cosy winter Christmas with the family. It's gonna be awesome to work, work and work in this heat during that week when Christmas and New years is. Yay!


Maggie left today, not going to see her for a month, the same for Linnea that leaves for Bali the 9th. Although her I will see for like.. three days between when she comes back from Bali and leaves for Sydney.. This is going to be an interesting Christmas!
At least I will earn a lot of money :P

Me and Louise have bought the tickets for our trip around Australia, it's going to be great!! :D It's like.. 7 weeks until she arrives in Darwin, NT! Looking forward to it!

Sushi here, and Sushi there! Oh my, how I LOOOVE sushi!! Me and Linnea are going to meet up in town later to eat sushi - AGAIN! I think I eat it AT LEAST once a week! So cheap, healthy and GOOOOD!

Work, work, cough, cold, vomit and Twilight

Working with kids, working at shenannigans, coughing my guts out, the cold that never stops.
Was suppose to work Friday night, but stayed home. Coughing until my abs was sore and I almost threw up since I had no air left to cough since I couldn't breathe.. Saturday I hung out with Linnea, Pace and Dan. Went on a tourist thing here in town, went bowling and went to the wavepool. Worked from 8 pm. Sunday I took it easy by the lake with Pace and Linnea, tried to show Linnea that gymnastics is harder than driving a scooter (more people drive scooters, right?) , I couldn't do a thing that she thinks is really easy.. :( I worked from 8 pm, hung out with the staff and drank a coke afterwards and then I got home and went to bed by 4 am. Got up at 7.20 am and went up to the house to have Molly the entire day. :D Playgym was one the schedule and when we got back she had lunch, and right before her sleep she vomited on the couch, then all afternoon I had to run around being everywhere, playing everywhere to keep her satisfied. Poor little thing...
Beth came home from Brisbane at 5.30 pm, and we had a happy Molly! Darcie was with Beth the entire weekend, missed her the adorable little mouse!

After I finished work I went to see Breaking dawn part 1 with Linnea, Maggie and Brigitte. It was awesome!! Loved it, but can't wait until the second part now!!

Long time no see...

Okay, A LOT has happened since last! I'm not that good in writing this blog ey? :P

First of to tell is: FAIL kakadu camping trip!
The weekend of the 14-16 of october; it started of with me and Linnea going out for "a couple of beers" although, I was going to be sober since I was driving. Anyhow, at 3 am we arrived back to her place after meeting some guys from Melbourne, hanging out with them and she got free drinks all night ;) At 6.30 am she got up to work, hung over ofc, and I kept sleeping till 8 am. We took it easy all morning, with the kid that she's taking care of - Henry! After this I went back to my place, got everything sorted for the camping trip and at 12 noon we left Darwin! We got a bit more than half the way when we got a flat tyre.. and had to drive back 3 km:s to get it changed at a pub! The guys that helped us change it told us it was so worn out so it was not strange that this happened, so we drove back to Maggies host parents farm! There we found out that all the tyres was changed just the week before... we considered going to Kakadu or going back home for a long time. But I had a headache and just wanted to go home so we did... Which was a good thing since I had a HIGH fever during the night and the day after!


During the week it was the same thing as always, taking care of two beautiful kids and hanging out with Linnea!
Friday the 21 of october I took Molly to the fun bus, it was great as always ;) She is wonderful that girl! Later that day I went to Youth and had fish'n'chips for dinner with them, and saw Ryan and Samuel go Jetty jumping, even though it is against the law! A good Christian youth group, don't ya think? ;) After a while I went to Linnea and we started the party! Vodka and Redbull for the win (and yes mum and dad, it is legal for us to buy here). Linnea drank twice as much as me, and she was wasted!! Haha xD Love that girl! We had a great night (except for the fact that I had to slap a guy, but Jack and Linnea helped me out of there when he started to get pissed - even though he deserved it!).
The 22 we just hung out in Maleys house, I went on skype with my family and Louise while Linnea watched a movie and then we watched another movie :)

This weekend, let's see.. we went out both Friday and Saturday! I was sober both nights :D
On Friday we had kind of a slow night, apparently all the old people decided that that's a good night to go out! But Saturday.. oh gosh.. we had a good time! We went to shenannigans and then to monsoons, met a few guys at monsoons and hung out with them all night, until we came back home at 7.30 am!!! I was sooo tired, sober and all and driving back home.. took a nap in the car before driving since driving while being that tired is nooot good! Anyhow, the whole sunday we took it easy, doing nothing until one of the guys, Daniel, called (we switched numbers before he became an ass hole) and said he was sorry cause he remembered what a "dickhead" he was the night before. Just in the end, before we left, he actually was! And he made it up for us by taking us to a movie. In time.. a BAD movie! But it was free, so worth it! ;)

Yesterday I saw Robert for the first time in three months!! Only through skype, ut still! It was wonderful!! :D
And right at this second Louise is either getting her ticket down here or already has it!! :D I'm so excited!! :D

Was planning to put more pics up, but the computer doesn't agree with me.. See ya! :)

Melker the frog

I've had a good week, helping with the kids and the horses as usual and hanging out with Linnea, Sabrina and Brigitte :)
Went bowling this friday, with the youth group from church! It was fun, even though some wanted the bumpers so we had to have them :(
Saturday morning I helped Beth with Molly, Darcie and 4 other kids :P then me and Linnea hung by the pool until we went to Casurina mall and got a new hairbrush for me (mine broke the other day, I need a haircut...) Anyhow, at night Sabrina came and joined me and Linnea at Beth and Pete's house since they were at the cattlestation. I left the girls and went on skype with my parents and sis! It was lovely! Then me, Linnea and sabrina watched "how to loose a guy in 10 days" haha xD It's a good movie!
Later that night Linnea got freaked out, and freaked out me as well since a frog sat in the shower. He had climbed up the wall and everything! Weird, green frog...
Sunday morning I went to the lutheran church and then me, Linnea, Sabrina and Brigitte went to Berry springs and in the evening we, ofc, went to the Mindil Markets!

It was a lovely weekend! Thursday night I called Robert as well, oh dear, how much I love him! It's hard to be so far away from him, but I long for the day I'm in his arms again! <3

And again to the frog, this morning he had climbed up my door, inside. Apparently he gets in through the toilet somehow.. hah xD We decided to name him, so we named him Melker! Melker the frog. Haha xD

O well, see ya another day!

Partystationmarket!

Friday:
Helped Beth with the kids all day, I was alone most of the time with either Molly or Darcie. Started the day with going for a walk/run, then I took Molly to Crocodylus park. When we got back we played for a while before she had lunch and had a sleep. After her 2 hour sleep I played with her for.. 40 minutes at the most, and then Beth came home and switched baby. So I watched a sleeping Darcie for a few hours until Beth came home and then I went to Linneas house.
At Friday night we went out for dinner at monsoons with the girls, and then Linnea and I kept the party going on another pub before we went back to dance at monsoons! Got free drinks by two dudes all night! Awesome!!! ;) We took a cab back to her place at about... 2.45 or something :P

Saturday:
Woke up at 10.30, had a shower, ate some and went back to "my place", then we went with Beth to the Cattlestation!! 180 000 acres... that's a huge station! Anyhow, we had a great time exploring "the real Australia" out there in the middle of nowhere, where the cells doesn't work ;) Saw wild crocodiles, kangaroos and rare birds!

Sunday:
We went back early in the morning, after hanging out in my room for a while we went to pick up Sabrina in Palmerston and hung out all day. Nightcliffs pool, Casurina mall, the Botanic Gardens and of course - Mindil Market! It was a great day!

Brisbane!

Okay, was a while ago I wrote now. Haven't had any internet! August 29 we went down to Brisbane, Beth, Molly, Darcie and me, to visit Beths family!We stayed at her mum and dads house which was located outside of Brisbane on a beautiful hill so you could look down at the alley.
I was sleeping in a cabin they had just built and I loved it, one day a kangaroo stood five meters from the front door!



















Anyhow, we spent a few days living with her sister Rebekah and I got the chance to just take the bus in to town and discover Brisbane :) I went to Southbank several days in a row, there was a beach made by humans there :P Like a fake beach, and it was great! September 2 I went to the art gallery and saw some beautiful paintings! Later that day I als met a girl named Ruby and she introduced me to Katie and Amber as well. We went to Southbank, "ate" at a chocolate cafe, soooo tasty!!! Then we just went to the shopping-street and walked around, being silly. Ruby forced some police officers to take a picture with me! I was soooo embarrassed!








































The Sunday after this, Sep 4, I took the train down to Surfers Paradise! Was so nervous cause I went alone, but as it turns out - people are actually nice ;) I hung out with a woman called Cecile, who was from Holland and it was great! I went whale watching, and saw dolphins as well. It was awesome!!!! On the way out to the sea we also saw lots of houses that are worth like 15 million dollars and they told us who owned it and stuff. One place a guy only uses as a place to park his helicopter! xD




What I had to do during the time I was down there (Brisbane) was, of course, to go to Ikea! Haha xD Felt like I was back in Sweden! Apparently they don't have "negerbollar" here cause Beth and Sue had no idea what kind of "cookie" it was :D So I made them try it ;) The only thing different with this Ikea compared to the ones in Sweden was that they had a "Swedish food corner" so I bought kaviar and skorpor and fladersaft and ballerina and some other things :P Should have bought more Kaviar though, gonna miss it!
During the time down there I also watched some of her sisters kids, they were wonderful! The time down there was great, but next up is, hopefully, Sydney and Melbourne!
Now I feel like I've been writing and uploading photos forever so I'll write more another day! See ya!

Polocrosse

Yesterday I went to Polocrosse with Maggie, an au-pair from Canada. It was great! Then I helped Beth with the kids for a few hours before they left with Darcie for a dinner at Polocrosse. They put Molly to bed before they left as well, so when I was eating my dinner my dear brother called! We talked about 20 minutes, and it was needed (from my side at least). About five minutes after that Maggie came again and we watched a movie and just relaxed, quite chill you know ;)

Today I got up at 7.15 am since Kim was going to pick me up at 8.15 am so I could go to church. It did not start until 10 am but they had practice with the band before so I sat down and read a book while I waited. Before the service began we went to get coffee, and they thought I was weird for drinking straight black coffee. I mean, doesn't many people do that? :P Anyhow, when I got home from church I packed all my things down into my big suitcase and dragged that up to the house. Then I packed everything I wanted to bring to Brisbane in another bag :) We are leaving the house at 5.30 am tomorrow!!
When I just got finished with that it was time to leave for the Polocrosse finally. This was the last weekend of the season! Pete's game was really good, although the other team got a few goals the last five minutes that made them win the championship...
Now I am going to call my boyfriend and then I am going to finish watching "Forrest Gump". Lovely!!

Better and better..

FUN BUS! That's where we went today, as we do every Friday! I had Molly by myself for about 30 minutes while Beth was exercising, and she's usually fine to be with me when Beth is not there. But today this mum came with her kid to the playground and started talking about her mum to her, which means that she was upset most of the time since she wanted her mummy. So annoying! After a while Beth came and I was "in charge" of Darcie instead. So we went to the fun bus and after a couple of hours we went to the doctor, where Darcie was gonna have her first needles! She was all right, although Molly was not! She screamed so high and pushed the nurse and me away. She is so protective of her little sister! It took her 10 minutes to calm down when I finally got her out of the room so the nurse could give her another injection, you see - Molly wouldn't let her come close!
When we got home from there I put Darcie to sleep, and Molly went to sleep as well. So Beth ran out and did some things she had to do, pick up some more tiles and so on.. When she got home I had a few hours by myself, and apparently Molly got upset when I left! Making progress there ;) She has actually started saying my name, not clear, but she's trying! :D

Then I helped a bit more before I went to Youth, Kim was actually so nice that she came all the way out here to pick me up and drop me of! (Since I can't drive until my new drivers license arrives) And I had a great evening over there, really starting to feel like one in the gang you know, it's great! :D

Some news BTW: There's coming a new Au-pair September 12, and guess what? SHE'S SWEDISH!! ;D

So now I am gonna watch a movie that I'll probably not finish tonight ;) See ya!
Gods Blessings to you all!

Loooong day!

So today I went up at 6 am, did the horses, went back inside. Texted a bit with my dearest boyfriend, got ready, went up to the house. Helped Beth with the kids, then we went to the park so that Beth could go to bootcamp and I could take Molly to the playground. About 10 am we went to the library, looked a bit on a puppet show, did some grocery-shopping. Then we went home, put Molly to bed and then Beth left to come back after about 2 minutes to leave Darcie since she was screaming so bad in the car! So I fed her a bit, got her to go to sleep, then Beth got back with the tiles. So we unloaded the car and then we ate some lunch to later on go in to the city to take care of my drivers license. Had to go to the mall to get a passport-photo, and then go to the NT house to get the forms from the Swedish consult and so on... Then we went to get some more tiles (the tiles BTW are for my bathroom and floor) and then I finally had some time to relax (it was about 3 pm)! Although, just until 4.30, then I went up to the house and Peter and Beth went to Polocrosse training and left me and Betty with the two little children! It went fine, and we had a nice evening. :) But now... I am soooo tired! BED, HERE I COME!!!!!
