Frustrations.

Today I have to fight back lots of frustration. My wife is constantly nagging about all the things we have to do. During this she is talking about how I need to prioritize my time to be able to do everything while she is too busy to participate.
During the discussion she is making a point out of what she needs me to do during the summer and the next second she is planning the vacation not considering that three weeks away means three less weeks working on the projects.
A few minutes ago she told me what was the most important thing getting started with. Now she is telling me about three or four other projects and what she needs me to do.
Her self is not able to go to the shop ordering tiles without me. I'm just fed up doing all the work and at the same time listening to her talking about how busy she is, and how frustrated she is about the things we should have done.
She is also constantly nagging about the flaws about the work that me and others have done, never talking about the things that are good.
I'm really trying here, but I've soon had enough of her. I once loved her, now I'm not sure.

Easter holiday

We spent our Easter holiday in beautiful Loen celebrating my mother in laws 70th birthday. We spent 3 nights at hotel Alexandra enjoying the breathtaking nature and spending time in the swimming pool and at the spa.

It's fantastic to wake up every morning to this view

After a late, and slow breakfast we spent most of the day at the swimming pool and at the spa. I brought my book to the pool area but with the beautiful scenery I spent most of the time just enjoying the scenery forgetting my book. The spring sunshine was actually warm enough to relax on the sun bed in the swim suit.

Young artists

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at our youngest sons school. Where they had different displays at each grades classrooms. The second graders had, amongst many things, a display about the life in the ocean.
We had a great time looking at what they have been working with the last two months and talking to other parents and the teachers.

Lobsters.

Jellyfish.

Fish.

Swimming in the sea.

It's fun to watch and see how proud the kids are showing their family what they have made. Well done.

Turning things around.

There are lots of things in my life that I needed to change.  Last autumn I started doing these changes making one small step at the time. But now it seems I've made a few mistakes. The first one is waiting to long before I made the changes. It's not critical but if I've started earlier I would have come farther than I'm now, and that feels frustrating. The other one is much more critical. I didn't involve the most important person in my life, my wife, in the process. My plan was to fix everything before I told her what I had been through. Doing this I've pushed her away from me, and I can't forgive myself for that. I must do everything to win her back. Starting with telling her how much I love her and that she is the most important person in my life. Making changes won't do anything if I'm loosing her in the process.

Building a new bathroom.

It has been a few days since I had the last update on the progress building the new bathroom.
I've not been working there since Thursday but here are some pictures of what it looked like when I finished Thursday afternoon.

As you can see there's lots of work left. The next week I will not do anything due to work, but hopefully I will be able too keep on working when we reach the weekend.
I still hope it can be close to finished when we reach April.

Aiming at one thousand.

Blogging for at bit more than three months I've realized that I'm not competing with the most popular blogs that are out there.
I've read about blogs with several thousand readers every day.  That's not me. I'm close to that number in total during my three months of blogging, meaning I won't quit my day job just yet.
I'm also still waiting for the first comment in my blog, wondering what I will do when that happens.
Anyway happy reading and a wonderful day for those who visit my blog.

A night out.

We spent Friday night out with some good friends. Before we went out for a Quiz we had a meal and a few drinks.

We didn't win the quiz but we had a great time both at home before the quiz started and at the quiz talking to wonderful people from our neighborhood.

We had planned a full night out but we finished earlier than we had planned. Anyway we had a great time and will join the next quiz at our local public house.
