battlefish battlefish menu skip to content home a bit about me reading list ttc timeline abbreviations paxlet pictures tadbit pictures 10 october 2023 by justheather snugli instructions and a quick update first off i ve still got the snugli instructions for anyone who wants them here s the link i hope it is what you are looking for and that the instructions help you almost 5 years since my last post and life is just chugging along we managed to visit my family in the us fall of 2019 but we haven t been back since covid shook up the world we ve been lucky and fared the pandemic well the kids were only out of school for a couple of months however i had a full mental breakdown and was on sick leave for a month started therapy and medication for anxiety and major depression just so many things over the years infertility loss of my mom ivf undiagnosed post natal depression depression piled up and the family being home all day everyday was the tipping point i m only a week off the meds now and oh boy are these brain zaps fun no they re not really i semi jokingly think that the way finns like their space and distance helped keep them safer during the pandemic but also they are quite good a following rules when they are told to i need to start planning to see my family for spring 2024 paxlet son is now 11 and tadbit daughter 8 5 the teen years are not far off and many days i think they are already upon us my goodness they ve got attitude and i ve no idea where they ve gotten it from hah i m still amazed that i get to parent these two kids even on the difficult days usually in 2021 the company i had worked at since 2008 had another round of layoffs and since i had survived the last 3 cullings there was no one else to get rid of i did stay on until the end of the year got a bit of extra pay and then i was hired at my new current job the last day of 2021 i m doing mostly the same finance things but in a much smaller company from 17 000 employees down to 300 everything is going well especially now that the learning curve has mellowed out and i m not making as many mistakes that annoy the customer i never said i was perfect i m still parkrun ing in fact my local parkrun is turning 6 this saturday and there is now 7 events around the country i ve found a great community of people finnish and international you couldn t keep me away running 5km but mostly walking or volunteering each saturday is a great time to re energize myself and the after chat in a cafe with a latte or tea and dessert afterward isn t bad either with the kids getting older having their own hobbies and being able to be a bit more independent i m slowing finding myself again in fact this fall i ve finally started taekwondo again after a 13 or so year break paxlet was practicing but took a break this year and tadbit started her second year my body aches and i ve got bruises galore nothing new on either account but i m really enjoying it i ve taken up visible mending and patch making with much gusto it started with the kids clothes always needing fixing and some of mine too and mr siili s when he d let me and then it turned into creating patches of fabric with hand sewn designs all over them i love a good challenge of fixing something so it can be used longer or even just making it look pretty and unique some friends have even trusted me with their clothes to mend them in the last month i ve even started crocheting tons of granny squares to make a pair of shorts so much has changed yet so much feels the same there really isn t much i d want to change about life it s being decent to me well i could use less body aches more money and more time to do what i want but couldn t we all i m not sure if i m coming back to blogging or not i think about it some time but for now i m quite happy with posting random pictures on instagram listening to podcasts and audiobooks and crafting i hope you are well and life is treating you decently i realize this wasn t so quick of

some status updates are totally vague and who knows what the hell was going on in my life on that day x years ago but many of them help me recall the memories just like they were yesterday the ones that are more difficult to handle are the updates closer an unpleasant memory such as my mom s death the year before or after and days leading up to the day those one generally hit me with a ton of bricks but the ones that don t sting as much are the updates the year before i was pregnant or the year i was pregnant with my eldest seeing updates during the year s before i can remember the yearning i had to become a parent and the misery i went through during that time while trying to get pregnant and not knowing if it would happen for example 8 years ago today i posted bleh insightful huh but knowing the timing of life then and reading past bog posts i know cd1 was a few days earlier and we were gearing up for ivf round 2 today s 8 year old post might not have anything to do with infertility but it makes me think of it none the less on the flip side the posts that are most fun and exciting to see are the ones during my first pregnancy even if i didn t mention pregnancy issues in the fb post i didn t really post much about either of my pregnancies on fb can you say traumatized understanding infertile knowing now that i was finally pregnant and what i was experiencing then finally is just way cool to remember so fb isn t always bad that said i should probably spend less time wandering around it anyway i hope your 2019 has gotten off to a decent start and continues to be good for you share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x like loading posted in if pregnancy tagged fb memories leave a comment 24 september 2018 by justheather microblogmonday i m a runner i guess until recently i completely forgot that i ran track in my freshman year of high school i must have been the slowest person on the team i sucked and i have no idea why i ever did it however almost a year ago parkrun started in my hometown i ran 3 events near the start of it all early november last year and then didn t run again until february of this year i don t know what changed during those 2 ish months break but i am now hooked those first runs the very first parkrun was totally new and exciting the second third fifth run i remember starting out and thinking what the f have i gotten myself into but as soon as i crossed the finish line the feeling was amazing and then the running became a bit easier i even made a new personal best i found friendship friends and a place where i felt like i belonged i ve been missing that a lot the last few years these days i truly look forward to my weekly run this next weekend i am going to run my 25th parkrun and i have no doubt that i ll easily make 50 runs before our parkrun turns 2 years old in just over another year for more microposts go visit

birthday birthday cake 2 comments 27 august 2018 by justheather microblogmonday summer s over back to the grind summer s over august is almost over and we are almost three quarter s of the way through 2018 where has this year gone seriously tadbit turned 3 much earlier this year she s funny stubborn independent sweet and everything rolled into one bundle of energy mr siili often remarks asks if this is what i was like at this age i don t know whether to laugh or groan we chopped her hair off in june we are all much happier about it for tadbit she hated hated hated having her hair brushed i disliked the fight over brushing hair and she s pretty cute with her short hair even if many others thought she was a boy because of her short hair and non pink clothes whatever paxlet is 5 and soon to be a teen on thursday some days it seems like all we do is fight i know i was like this with my mom around this age pay back is a bitch sometimes paxlet started preschool kindergarten yes kids don t start 1st grade until the year they turn 7 he loves it i have no worries that he will do just fine in school do you remember my multiple posts the last couple of years about my kids not speaking in english and would they ever learn to speak english it has finally happened you all saw that coming didn t you we visited my family in the us in may and the kids language skills have just exploded paxlet had started to speak a bit to me in english before the trip but during and after he mostly speaks to me in english he has even switched from finnish to english mid sentence when he realizes he is speaking to me and not mr siili there are some words he s not sure of but if he asks about them or says them in finnish i ll repeat them or make sure to use them in my reply tadbit uses english now but still a lot of finnish also what s funny cute is that she throws in finnish words while she is talking to me as if she hasn t switched languages at all we re not sure she notices the differences between the two languages fully i love that my kids are speaking more english and relieved my fears have been proved wrong i m still doing parkrun i ran a new personal best this last saturday of 32 44 that beat my old time by 2 minutes i give credit to my running partner she helped me keep a steady pace and to not walk even when i would have if i had been on my own my goal is to run 50 parkruns before october 2019 i don t think it will be that difficult to do 29 more runs in a little over a year i ll will also start an 8 week fitcamp program next week i m aiming to lose a couple of kilos and hopefully learn something new about nutrition that i can use in my daily life i feel like i am slowly getting some of me back this summer was a hot hot one by hot i mean it was over 26c 78 8f and many days closer to 30c 86f for over 50 days the last time it was remotely this hot for this long was in the 1940s it was a humid too we all just about died lol i enjoyed it as much as i could but i was more comfortable when it was closer to 20c 70f again fall is definitely on its way the mornings need a jacket and afternoons only a t shirt as summer is over we re all back at work daycare or school this year is the first that our kids are going to two different places in the morning tadbit has a new daycare lady which is 1km 0 6mi away compared to the 2 minute walk we had previous years and paxlet s school is right in the middle of that distance we re finding a new rhythm to mornings and afternoons i ve also started working 6 hours days instead of 5 hours which is taking time for me to get used to also how was your summer is life treating you well for more microposts go visit mel s post at stirrup queens share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook
