3 Cars Wanted! Lemons: J Curby Gremlin, Tubbs Pacer & Petey Pacer

Work is piling up on me right now, and when I get home in the evenings I barely manage to cook some food, play a little with the kids before it´s time to say goodnight to them. 
We always read a book, first for V and then another onte for A. Then I sing some lullabuys. Then they eventually go to sleep. (I´ve always been impressed by the american way: Just say goodnight, lights out and close the door.) Or is that how it works only in the movies?

But after that... I haven´t had time or strenght to collect any cars. Or is it because my mourning work is done? Maybe I do not need my collection any more? Or, at least, mayby I do not need it right now?

I don´t know. But I do know that Januray 2013 is the first month since I started this in july 2010 that I will buy NO cars. Zero. Zip. NONEWHATSOEVER!

But now I´ve noticed three new Lemons. So chances are I´m back in February!


Look at the Lemons I already have here

And! Hello to my new member Stefan Wiker! Good to have you onboard!

My kid is not invited to the party


My wife picked up the kids at the daycare center a few days ago. She noticed that several (not all, but many) of the kids had birthday party invitations in their boxes on the shelf over the clothes.

V was one of the kids that had got no invitation.

When she told me this, it made me sad.

The picture above is more a result of my feeling. In reality, there were several other kids who also didn´t get to go to the party. But I felt, that V now was getting singled out by the other kids.

I can´t say that I blame the kids or the parents. This was a party for the elder kids at V´s unit. We didn´t invite the younger kids when A had his fifth birthday.

But we didn´t bring the invitations to the daycare center. We sent them by mail.

I think it´s a more fair way to do it.
Or am I just too emotional about this thing?
