Day 31

Today's been a busy day! 
When I woke up this morning, I had cereal and then checked my grocery list to be certain of everything I needed from the store. Then I drove the car to pick up Kelsey (it was pouring) and we went to Coop, the grocery store downtown. It was a madhouse there since tomorrow is Midsummer... everyone was trying to get their food. It was also an experience trying to shop in a foreign grocery store, but we did pretty well, and we were only in there about 45 minutes. 


Once I dropped Kelsey back off, I went home and unloaded all the groceries and started making the carrot cake for tomorrow. The cake is HUGE and we are supposedly going to decorate it tomorrow with a swedish flag. But anyways, I finished the entire cake around 2 pm, and then I had another bowl of cereal for lunch. Then at 3:30, I had to drive the kids out to the lake for their cousin's birthday... but My got a call from her mom asking her if she remembered to pick Louisa up from the school at 3, and she had forgotten! So we drove around for about 15 minutes looking for Louisa, and My and Tove finally found her sitting at the road where Karin told her not to cross. She had been sitting there for 45 minutes in the rain :( She was pretty upset. 


Once we got everyone piled in the car, we drove out to the lake. Their cousin didn't get there til about 5:15, and they didn't sit down to have fika until 5:30, and we had to get back for practice at 6. We made it back to the house at 5:50 and biked fast to the field and made it on time. We did hitting drills for most of practice today, and then ended with sliding practice in the wet grass. We had to show a few of the girls how to slide properly, and one was too afraid to do it at all. 


After biking back home, we were starving, but had to wait for Karin, Tove, and Fanny to get back from the store, so My and I started cutting vegetables for a big salad... and then around 9:15 we ended up eating swedish meatballs, salad, and mashed potatoes with gravy. They put jelly on their mashed potatoes and gravy, and I tried a little dab of it and wasn't very fond of the idea. 


So now I'm about to shower and get to sleep. Tomorrow's going to be a LONG day, with it being Midsummer. I'm waking up at 6 to drive to the airport with Karin to pick up her friend and then have to make apple dumplings as soon as we get back. 


I tried to motivate myself to workout tonight after dinner, but I just wasn't feeling it. I won't have time to work out tomorrow either, so I guess my body will be getting a couple days off, and will definitely get fueled with all the yummy food and desserts we are having ALL day tomorrow :) 


But tomorrow should be fun so I look forward to sharing the details with yall! :)
