So, first I thought I had a mild case of food poisoning, then I thought Claes was getting the swine flu (Because there are no other illnesses out there to get these days, right?).
After hearing a weak "mommy", in the darkness of 2 am, followed by a gigantic cascade all over our bedroom carpet. Followed by a very sleep deprived night, alternating between comforting, emptying buckets, changing sheets and freaking out over getting vomited on, I now know better.
It´s not food poisoning. It´s not the swine flu (well, the jury´s still out on that one). It´s a stomach bug.
One down, two to go. I´m stocking up on Pedialyte and plastic gloves. Not to mention air fresheners.

Home sweet home
Back in business.
So, all the suitcases are finally unpacked - But several of mysterious unpacked-but-yet-not-put-in-place piles remain. I HATE unpacking stuff! Dont know what it is, and why unpacking has to be so much more terrible than packing - It's the same stuff, just reversed after all.
We all survived the first few jet-laged days just fine. Actually it was not that bad at all this time; No one woke up before 4.30 am any day and Sven, who I had suspected would be the worse, has slept all nights more or less! I actually haven't minded getting up around 5.30, it's a very nice feeling to feel rested and awake at that time of day. Guess it has something to do with the fact that I've been going to bed at 8 pm :-)...
Other than the unpacking, it has been a pretty uneventful week. The two major things happening has been that Mathilda finally, finally, finally has a loose tooth (She has been waiting for this for the past year I think, and was so sad that she never got to be on the "We lost a tooth this month"-chart in Kindergarten.) and that Elias got a big boy bike as a belayted 4th birthday present. Yesterday was therefor spent biking around the neighborhood cul-de-sac with a lot of "wiggling, wiggling" inbetween. The big question now is: Will the tooth fall out before school starts!?
