New times ahead

This feels a little strange but from today I will start my maternity leave. Me and our baby bump will be home and grow a little more and to relax. According to Czech law you are supposed to be home 6 weeks before expected delivery date. Great law as I think it is good to let yourself slow down and to focus on the new tasks and challenges. Also it gives me time to focus on my different painting and illustration projects and to arrange baby bumps get-together here in Prague. I am sure I will keep myself busy but it is a very weird feeling to leave the job behind for some time to come.
 

Nya tider

Idag jobbar jag min sista dag på kontoret och får den nya rollen som mammaledig. Jag och magen ska vara hemma och ta det lugnt och ladda för nya tider. Magen ska växa till sig lite till, pust, och jag ska passa på att fokusera på att må bra och samla super energier. Enligt Tjeckisk lag ska man gå hem 6 veckor innan beräknat datum och det tror jag är helt rätt. Även om jag mår fin fint och lätt skulle kunna jobba vidare ett tag till, tror jag att det är bra och lyxigt att kunna vara hemma och ta hand om sig själv och mentalt ställa in sig på den nya rollen. Jag planerar att hålla mig sysselsatt med mina måleri och illustrationsprojekt och att arrangera middag och kafferep med andra blivande mammor här i Prag. Samtidigt känns det mycket märkligt att lämna jobbet och mitt projekt sålänge, men jag är säker på att det kommer att gå prima.

Daycare introduction no walk in the park

Kids started kindergarten 18 August.... My dad spend first THREE weeks being with them as an introduction. They refused to leave his side and if the teacher hadn't told us that we have to try to leave them there by themselves a little I think he would still spend his days at kids daycare with them ( very carrying granddad indeed)  First weeks (!) I had to pull myself free from screaming and crying kids to get to work. It broke my heart over and over. But worst to come... After this phase came the silent big crocodile tears. Horrible and even more heart breaking. These tears was accompanied with Mila begging me not to leave her and saying "but I love you and I want to be with you" " I miss you sooooo much" "Why do you have to leave me?" "Who will take care of me?" "I also want to be a grown-up so I can come with you to your job" These begging and her being very nervous for being left at kindergarten was more then heart breaking i

Garden dreams

The benefits of having a garden are many and have been proven within different study areas and disciplines. To grow and take active part in the process from seed to plant is well-known to be good for your soul and well-being. During garden work our bodies produce more happy hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin. It also reduces the stress level and makes you experience a great here and now feeling.. The physical work needed in order to control what is growing and where has a great effect on your body as well as your mind. After a long day running a round with a wheelbarrow, a rake, spade and other equipment’s a great satisfying feeling is spreading all around your body and you will fall asleep fast with a smile. Ok note that you might wake up sore here there and everywhere, but that’s the name of the garden game... Other benefits with a garden are of course all the fresh products you can harvest and enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Organic home-grown fruits and vegetables, I
