The life of a Dutch Scrapper

Happy Easter!

Not so bad after all

Anthony doesn't need surgery! YEAH! His bones are connected but that shouldn't be such a problem the doctor said and likely they will get connected again after surgery due to the healingprocess. The pain he had for a few days is totally gone, no idea what caused it, but it is gone! 

The new washingmachine arrived. We got it from Indesit after the washingmachine we had from them exploded(in case you missed that scroll down two posts).

So how am I doing? I am still trying to find balance in my life. Somedays this seems harder then other days. I wish I could grab onto it for more than just a few days or sometimes even just hours but so far I haven't been able to do so, but I keep trying. It is frustrating though, very frustrating. Weightgain is what makes me feel sad and I feel like I truly have a problem with food. It is like many things with my life I feel like I can't get a hold of it. I have it and then it slips through my fingers again and I have no idea on how to get it back again. Being aware of this is what is the most frustrating part of it all. I feel like such a loser sometimes not being able to get my life on track the way I want it to go. I know everything in my head but for some reason I can't make it happen. Ah well, I keep trying....

Bad luck!

My son Anthony always has bad luck. Where jadenn walks through life happily and carefree, Anthony seems to get everything bad happening to him all the time, since he was born actually. Poor kid. Last week when he stepped out off bed in the morning he couldn't walk. It was hurting badly right at his ankle where he was operated on 1,5 years ago after being hit by a car. I bended his foot in all sort of directions but that didn't hurt him, just walking was not possible. I called the doctor and we could see her in the late afternoon. He was doing a little bit better by then and could sort off walk on it with out putting too much pressure on his foot. She couldn't find anything either and said to watch it and call her if it stayed this way. Well the next day it was the same as the previous day so I called the doctor and she send us for an x-ray at the hospital. After taking 3 x-rays they informed us that the bones in his lower leg were grown together at his ankle due to his previous injury. The healing process went to quickly and too much new bone was made and now the two bones were together instead of being separate. So tomorrow we will see the Orthopedic surgeon in the hospital and I assume he needs surgery again...:(

Sometimes it just takes a little bit of pressure...

To get people to wake up and undertake the right kind of action.
After not hearing back from Indesit, the washingmachine company, I filed in a complained but also posted a photo on their facebookpage mentioning the bad customer service. And yesterdaymorning I got an email that someone else was handeling it now. Yesterday afternoon I had a message on my voicemail that the district manager decided to give me a new washingmachine and that it was already ordered, I just had to wait for the delivery company to call me to set a time and date to drop it off.

I am happy they decided to give me a new one, the only thing they could do in my opinion, but that they do not even come to look what caused this or such is what has me a bit worried, did this happen before?

Ah well the thing I wanted to get across today is that when ever you feel like someone is doing you wrong just let your voice be heard, because you matter as much as anyone else, and no one should make you feel otherwise.

Amen!

Had you ever have something like this happen????!!!!

Yesterday evening when I just finished a very, very long post on this blog, let's say a big update as it has been a while since I typed anything here, we heard a very loud "BAM!!!" and all went black. All power went out in the whole house...bye, bye blogpost. As it was already dark outside it was now pitchblack inside as well and Anthony who was watching tv in his bedroom came running down the stairs completely in pannic mode as he is so very much afraid of the dark(it took me an hour too make him calm again). DH thought Anthony had been doing something he shouldn't have been doing in his room, maybe poke into the electricity or such, but I could tell by looking at him and seeing his reaction that this was not the case. So here I was with two kids crying of fear hanging around me for dear life. DH went outside to see if it was just us or maybe the whole block that went down(it was just us) and then got a flashlight(thank god we had one closeby) and lifted an electricity powerswitch that went down and tadaaaaa there was light again. Maybe 10 minutes later I went upstairs to get my clothes out of the washing machine and the first things I saw where white pieces of plastic on the floor and I thought "Huh?!". Then I looked at the washingmachine and was like :"OMG!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAY, come upstairs right away!!!". This was what I was looking at(these pics were made this morning when I had some decent light):

Our washingmachine had completely exploded!!!!!!! WTF!!! As you can see our warmingsystem is right beside the washingmachine and all I could think was what if that had exploded as well. So thankfull we are OK and that the washingmachine is the only thing that is damaged and broken. and broken it is!



Never did I knew that anything like this could happen, did you!? The clothes were still whole so they didn't got stuck or something like that. I really have no idea what has caused the machine to explode the way it did. Thankfully I found the receipt and it was just 4 years old(not even) and we bought an extra 5 year warranty(YEAH!!!). Emailed the pics with an email this morning to the company but all I have heard so far is that they are working on it. I need a NEW washing machine ASAP!!!!

2011-2012

I am happy 2011 is over. Was it a bad year? No not entirely. Actually it was pretty good on many parts but also pretty bad on other parts. I feel like I have been searching the past year, for myself. Finding it, losing myself again and now slowly finding myself again. The same goes for balance. Then I have it, then it is gone. It just feels like many things are in my reach, but once I want to grab them it seems like my fingertips can’t seem to hold on and I fall again....frustrating to say the least.

So now 2011 is over and 2012 has just begun. A new window of opportunities, new directions and new hope. I still am going to try to grab the things that are in my reach and that I want to accomplish for years now and this time I simply will not let go once I can touch it again. I am going to find my balance, spend more time with my family and friends and overall be more happy. That is what I wish to achieve in 2012, that is what I long for, that is what I need.

I will sit down tomorrow and will write down all my dreams and goals for 2012. I find it important to do this, because if you have no dreams or no goals then you are standing still and life is just passing you by, with you waiting, hoping things will happen. 

So here is to 2012, let’s kick it!!!
