Huh, I had to go back and figure out what you were talking about in that last sentence. I love when people try to tell you how you ought to be doing things.
Much to my delight, this last trip to Sweden had any number of people giving me a pass for my kids' inability to communicate in Swedish. Granted, it would have made all of our lives a little easier, or more pleasant, had they had a better grasp on what Farmor was saying, or could understand the tv shows, but it worked out fine anyway. I'd love it if my kids were actually bilingual but, you know, I've got other things to worry about.
I lost my coupon holder someplace and haven't remembered to get a new one so my coupon habit has taken rather a large hit. I used to go through the paper on Sunday and immediately slot in the coupons I thought I'd use. Now they float around on a table in the kitchen and I can't remember what I have or I can't find them when I'm heading out the door. Hmm, seems an easy problem to fix!
