Saturday November 26th 2005 is Buy Nothing Day (UK), the self proclaimed festival of frugal living and culture jammers jamboree. It’s a day where you challenge yourself, your family and friends to switch off from shopping and tune into life. Celebrated as a holiday by some, a street party by others - anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending! more from the UK website >>>

If I’m correct, you guy’s in US have already done your part, yesterday, now it’s our turn!! I’m all for buying gifts for friends and family for Christmas. But I’m sure we don’t need to use so much money as we do. Selfmade stuff are so nice to recieve too!! At least it’s something to think off, now when the Christmas shopping are starting for real!

I’m going to the store, though, but just for bread and milk - then I’m heading over to Beate for walk, chat and some laughter

We woke up to a beautiful sunny day! That’s nice when the head hurts after too little sleep… Having my boy up at midnight, even though for a short while was not such a good idea. Guess we would have used less time if I had laid in bed there with him for some 10 or 15 minutes. I think he slept good, though. His smile is big today

I’m drinking coffee and hoping that the headache will disappear as soon as it got here…..

Later we’re going to visit my friend up in the valley and take her for a walk MT loves being outside. Even though I love where we live there is a busy road right outside our door (not on the fjord-side) and I’m always afraid for that MT will walk right in front of a car. At my friends place there is not such traffic to worry about so it’s nice for him to be outside there..

As usual my boy woke up around midnight, this time with a cry. Not the loud cry he has when he’s angry or upset, but a low cry so easy to miss. When I got up to him I saw that he wasn’t quite awake. After a little while he stopped crying, but it was hard to get him back to sleep. Seems like he didn’t want to sleep any more if he could help it.

I so wonder what he dreamt, was it scary or sad. Is he afraid of something or is there someone he terribly miss?! I don’t know and he doesn’t have the words to tell me. So I wonder… I long for the day when he has enough words to tell me what the dream was about!

And now, he’s sitting here by my side. He didn’t sleep for more than 10 minutes before he was up again. This time with his normal quick step over the floor. Running from his bed to mine, wondering where I am. For a minute there I tried just to put him in my bed, but I know, he won’t sleep until I’m right there by his side sleeping too. So this is me signing off and going to bed! (It’s about time too, a new day has just started…)
