We Own The Sky

Short update before bed! I'm alive and hard working here in Oslo. I really like it here, even though I've mostly been sleeping, working, cooking and eating. Still haven't gotten my SSN to work, so no phone number or bank account... I really hate this feeling of not having things organized. Specially when I have to have my salary for september!

We still only got three kids to take care of, which is really nice, of course. Actually it would be even nicer with one or maybe two more babies in the Barnehage. But I know I'll take that back later, when we're super busy, haha. Today we walked with the kids in the strollers to Lysaker Brygge, right by the fjord. It was such a nice view, even if it rained.

In just two days it's time to get on the bus to Gothenburg and Way out West! I'm sooooo excited for it! It's a nice break from the nothing that I'm doing here.

Okay, gotta get some sleep now, but I promise a longer post and some pictures within the nearest future!

Pour A Little Salt, We Were Never Here

I am so nervous! Tomorrow it is the day, it is serious. Have to go to bed very soon if I'm going to have a chance to survive tomorrow. Time to meet the kids, and the parents. Time to start trying that Norwegian language. Time to change a diaper (for the first time ever). Time for work. Oh, how I wish for tomorrow to be over, ha ha. Can't wait for friday and some time to let this week sink in. The best thing with kids is that they give you no time to ever think about things. When they cry, they need comfort, when they poop they need a diaper-change, when they're tired they need sleep and so on. You get thrown right into it, and that's actually a good thing, I think. Okay... that was a very lame effort to try to calm myself down. I will have to try to remember the first day alone with Nicky, Alex and Max. Everything is scary the first time.

This day has been better than yesterday. I knew where to go, I didn't starve, I had lots of time to relax and I don't have a fever anymore. It is really true that if it starts out bad, things can only get better.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that I get that social security number so I can open up a bank account and get paid, and get myself a phone card for Norway.

Okay, the sink is screaming for me to do the dishes. Gotta run!

Wish me luck tomorrow....

Work with me, baby!

Gaaah, my iPod is not being very cooperative now... it just froze when I was going to charge it. Well, maybe it needs a break. I'll let it run out of batteries and then we'll see. I don't have all night so it better wake up soon.

Anyway, Putte i Parken is over. It was great in many ways, but I'm glad it's over. My body is getting really tired. Time for healthy food, early nights and nothing but coffee and water to drink. The weather was not on our side at all, and that gave me a deluxe cold. Was too sick to go to Oslo at 9.30 yesterday, but I felt better after a few more hours of sleep, and some dinner. So at 10.00 pm I arrived here.

Now I'm sitting here alone in the apartment. Nervous for tomorrow. That was supposed to be my second day of work. But since I had not heard a thing about where I was going, and when I was going to where-ever that was, I could only make a few phone calls and hope for the best. I'm really scared to see if they're mad at me for now showing up yesterday. I just CANNOT wait until everything is okay with the mail and my cellphone. It really sucks to not be available like this.

Well, there's nothing but wait for my new social security number to come with the mail.

Time to watch some Norwegian TV!
