february 20.
Just one day of sun...just one day!!!
Like nature was breathing...
And now we have rain again and a day with the lights on all day and I hate it!!
I had another awful night...
I don't know what's the matter, but that's a week of bad nights and boy, am I feeling tired.
Thami went to school without problems, so that was OK.
But Nyo told that in his class people were talking about Thami and he'd told them to shut up because what they were saying isn't true.
I'll mail his mentor.
Trying to get Paypal working.
I want to order the hornpipe I got the money for for my birthday.
Asked Ingrid to jump in, and she helped me very well.
But I guess Jim has made a mistake as the 5 euro we tried to post didn't come through.
I'll wait another day and then start mailing paypal again.
It's nuts.
They're a dutch firm now, so why are they not using the payment system we have here in the way we use it here. Never had problems with that.
Maybe it's just me being impatient.
Let's hope so.
I'm tired of everything going slowly and nothing going without problems.
The birdsflu, tyhe kind that is dangerous for humans, is in North Germany now.
It's only a matter of time that it arrives here.
I love the birds that visit my garden, and woke me up yesterday.
I hate to see them die of some new worldwide disease.
On friday I told the children how to handle when they would find a dead bird or if a bird would drop something on them or their clothes.
On saturday Lars' coat was "hit" by a bird.
I was happy to have told them how to handle.
Anything else?
yes!!
We've won another gold medal and we'll be glued to the screen this evening to see Marianne Timmer get it tonight.
And now I have to think about what we're going to eat for dinner.......

Thami went for a day skying with school.
It doesn't happen often that I feel restless when he's away. But today I missed him.
I tried to see him on one of the webcams, and it turned out later that I did.
To be honest: he was about 5 mm "large". LOL!
During the grey hours of morning, that stretched far into the afternoon, untill it was time to move towards the evening, I made the final moves to take over Tattling Tidbits from Erin.
She can relax and play with us all now, without knowing the questions before. LOL!
I'm grateful for getting the oppertunity. She's done a great job.
Thami came home at a reasonable time, muttering because they didn't stop at MacDonalds on their way home.
I asked him how his day was and he told me it was crap.
Because that bully was saying in the bus that Thami had been wetting his pants..no not with snow, but with his own body fluids... You understand?
It had been going all over the bus and it was said that it would be all over the school on monday.
(Secretly I checked his trousers when he put them in the laundry: nothing.)
Now he doesn't want to go to school on monday.....
I'm not yet sure how to deal with this.
Calling the mother is of no use. The same with calling his mentor.
The boy is a bully and the school up till now hasn't been able to get rid of him.
I think I'll inform the school this evening, by mail. So there can't be reacted as: he doesn't mean it and comments like that.
And I'll inform Thami that he can go to the lawshop for children.
Maybe they have a way to deal with this that is also of help for the school.
But apart from this all, he enjoyed "langlaufen".
And now he wants to contact the national olympic committee, because he wants to go to the olympic games 4 years from now. LOL!
Tried to get paypal working.
It's in Dutch hands now, but they still haven't been able to incorporate our own paymentsystem in it.
Now I can order a highland hornpipe, I'm in a hurry to get it working and to order and pay.
Stef even offered to bring to money to someone who has a working paypalaccount, so it can be ordered quicker.
I hate situations like this....

The day started out as a real girly day...after all the boys had left.
Which took ages!
It's so strange, but when only girls are at home the feeling is completely different.
When Thami came home the rest was gone.
He was irritated because tomorrow he has to go skying with school.
And tomorrow evening he will be irritated because he enjoyed it too much and doesn't want to show it. LOL!
I think he's very lucky to be able to go to the mountains in Germany and have a day in the snow. Skying, sleighing and doing everything wintery.
Lars went with another school a couple of years ago and loved it very much.
The Olympics were surprising.
Shorttrack men was a distaster as the men landed on the ice.
Well, that gives another team a chance to finish high. LOL!
The weather was not as bad as yesterday during the morning.
The afternoon was dark and grey again.
I so long for spring!!
The whole day I felt rotten because I saw a Belgian TVprogramm. I've made a page about it..passworded.
See the link at the left, name: concern.
It's not something kids should see.
I remember seeing the piled up naked bodies of dead jewish people at a concentrationcamp of ww2 when I was cleaning out a bookcase at school.
I was about 15 and since then the images have never left me.
These images are worse...far worse. They're so disgusting that I don't need to see anything that glorifies war or the military.
I think it's time every person evaluated his or her own way of thinking.
Pride, violence, knowing everything better... they're not ways that serve peace. Doesn't matter if it's inner peace, social preace or world peace.
My whole life I have stood up for peace in a quiet way.
Not in the media, but in the interaction between people.
I know people don't want to accept all the consequences of living in peace, as it means a complete change of living.
Sharing everything a country has is one of them, which asks for a consencus between people that can never be reached as long as people put their own wellbeing first.
Well, living for it has truly given me a good look on many people.
When I'm done with bringing up my children I'll leave here and go to where I'm needed.
Maybe everything that has happened in my life is just a preparation for it.
The last days I've been dealing with the fact that everybody (except one or two, LOL!) considers me a kind and caring person. But that I ended up in this life with loads of friends and no special person who truly loves me with all his heart.
It has always given me the feeling I'm less than anybody else.
Now I feel more and more that it gives me an independence to criticise myself, to loose what is not needed, and to prepare myself for the time no-one depends on me any more.
