Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

Whoohoo! Finally I’m in the 50’s again i.e. I weigh 59.7 kg this morning. It’s a tedious path but the weight loss motivates me even further. I have a found a great formula for loosing weight gradually that actually works. So far I have lost almost 2kg’s per week and now, 5 weeks after birth [...]

Victoria just came in with coffee and breakfast which was really sweet. We are working on a  new regime here. Helping out eachother is one aspect. Another one is taking your responsibilities at home and in school. And ultimately for yourself. I will work with her on that today. But for now I am enjoying [...]

Every girl needs a bit of shopping and so does this one. So far I have done very little shopping since the birth of Sebastian for one simple reason, I don’t fit into any clothes. I still wear my “maternity wear” 4 weeks down the line albeit having lost some 8 kg’s, but I have [...]

One of my favourite songs from the past is Private Dancer by Tina Turner. With the right amount of seediness I listened to it with fascination in my youth. I recall one boyfriend, E, asking if there was more to it than just my adoration for this song (alluding to the theme of prostitution). After [...]

My cold has taken a turn for the worse. It’s made me somewhat agitated as I feel I don’t have enough time nor strength to pull through the day. Last night we had a heated discussion as I discovered some personal belongings missing. I was convinced I had seen them here weeks earlier but now [...]

I wake up with a stinking cold. I felt it coming of course already yesterday as my throat was soar and raw. Today is another story though, throat pain is still there but it has been joined with ear pain and blocked sinuses. I’m not the only one though. Poor Sebastian seems to have got [...]

I’ve always been surprised when I hear of housewives getting a burn out. But I have drastically changed my opinion. It’s tough being a stay-at-home mum. Even tougher than having a fulltime job. At least then I had an excuse for my inferior cooking and an unkept home. At this point I’m ready to throw [...]

I’m reading about the Fritzl trial with shock and horror as so many other people with me. The accounts that have leaked out are so horrific that all things else pales in significance. Yet there are so many other cases out there, with abusive parents that on different scales causes suffering for their children. Some [...]

I am suppose to work on my project and instead I find myself in the midst of a family feud. It starts off with warning bells. Where is Victoria? It is 4 pm and still no sight of my little girl. I call her little although she will be turning 11 in less than two [...]

I just came home from my first session with my personal trainer. It was an intake lesson to evaluate my condition and the type of exercises that would be suitable. After one lesson I’m sold! So plan is to do this once a week in addition to my regular three sessions I have at the [...]
