Bonsoir. It's Monday night here, 8pm, and I'm just chilling out in my studio before I get sleepy. I had a good weekend....Friday night was a long night of babysitting, so Saturday morning I slept in (a little). Tiphaine knocked on my door at 9:30 asking me where the tattoos were....Ruthie sent us a package with gifts for the kids, including some temporary princess tattoos for the girls. So I helped her find them, and she was the last member of the family I saw until today at lunch time! I gotta say, it was a nice break for 2.5 days. I went for a jog in the sun in Bougival and got some little things done around the house. Kirsty came over in the late afternoon and we got all dressed up together for Cabaret. The family left town for the weekend so we used the house kitchen to make a big dinner (at least big for us). We made steak, couscous and veggies and had a glass of wine. It was cool just to take our time making a good meal and being dressed up. After consuming a few drinks we headed off to Paris....and of course ended up sprinting in our high heels to make it to the theater on time! Our seats were high up, but the theater was very small and intimate. The play was great...the actors were great and had amazing voices. It was all in French, so I didn't get EVERY small detail of the story, however I understood the basics: sexual, 1930s Germany/Nazis, an American writer, a Cabaret....haha. Anyways, it was really good and a fun thing to experience the French theater. I made it home okay this time without having any door or gate trouble...making it inside safe. I slept in Sunday, went up to the house to do some ironing for the kids, then headed into Paris again to have coffee with Kristi (the other au pair). We hung out for about an hour and a half and visited over coffee, so that was nice. Then later last night Ashley came over to the house to have a glass of wine, we watched the rugby match on t.v. and just visited. And yes, France lost the rugby match Saturday night, and South Africa won last night (so Kirsty was very happy I'm sure...since that's where she's from). Anyways, Paris had great spring-like weather this weekend, which always contributes to a happy frame of mind. I had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend......
Today I didn't have to drive the kids to school, so I had some time to myself this morning....it was a pretty good day all around, and I got my stretching class + a jog in...so yay! This week will be busy, but I also get a little free time so I'm glad about that. Okay, I'm getting sleepy so off I go for the night........ Bisous

It's great to hear that you're making friends with the other au pair's! Cabaret sounded great. Right now I'm hanging out at Senior Hall (the msw building) with my fellow classmates because our class was cancelled. I took some pictures of EWU this weekend so I'll be sure to post them on facebook!
