Makayla is 3

I am slow getting this done.The sun has been out and I have not been inside much.
I cannot believe our little miracle baby is 3.She is cuddly,smart and amazing( like all kids).She is my tractor loving girly girl.
She is bilingual and soon to be trilingual.She will start German daycare on may 1st and we are beyond excited.








Happy Birthday Stinky Baby ( her nick name )

Miss Mack's Greenhouse

Miss Mack loves plants and gardening just like her Mama.
So when I saw this nifty little portable greenhouse I knew she would love it.
She planted ,chives,and some other salad greens.Now she is collecting tomato seeds from other countries to plant.

I Give Up

I do.Really I just give up.
I do not know what I ever did to deserve the hell I have been through in my life.
I married an abusive jerk and endured living hell for 17 years,was gifted with RA and Lupus( oh joy).
I finally got free from that hell and my lupus was quiet and I moved to Denmark.The next hell I was to endure.
I met a loving man that I married and we have 2 wonderful children but never fear the UDLST or Foreign Department would make living hell for us.
I used to love it here but now not so much.
After 2 years and many lies from UDLST and many mistakes on their part they have decided they want a copy of our rental contract.It is for a trial of one year and after that unlimited time.That is not good enough for them.They want unlimited now.So guess what?
We get to move AGAIN !!!!
I am packing pictures and things that mean something and I think I will just burn the rest.
I am tired and sad and angry.How dare they take this long to do their job(the processing time says 3 to 7 months) I applied in may 2009.
I am just tired of all the hoops we have to jump through and yet they don't care at all.
So for now I give up and they win again.Another nasty immigrant on her way out

It is SPRING !!!!!!!

Finally warmer temperatures are here and I am loving every minute of it.
BBQ's,potato salad,beans and burgers YUMMMMMMM.
We were invited over to friends for some bbq and outdoor fun this weekend.
We stayed outside most of the weekend and enjoyed the sun.
