Why hello there. It is 8 pm Wednesday night, and I'm getting ready to head off for dinner Beatrice's house to meet their new au pair, Ashley. Yesterday I had my first aerobics class, where I was wondering if I was even in the right class when it first began. There were older women AGAIN (I am the only 20-30 something...def the youngest). Ughh...BUT it's not too bad. I definitely worked up a sweat, along with the instructor who had 80s style JAzzercise attire on, along with a couple other women. Yep, the shiny black tights, hot pink leotard and leggings. Haha. no joke. And the music started off with the theme song to "Shaft"...followed by more American music, including R. Kelley. Haha. It was quite a sight. But halfway through it I realized I will stick with the class, as it challenged my flexibility and got my heart rate up. Today I'm even a little sore in the legs. So that's good! I spoke with the instructor, who's a really nice lady and she knows now that I'm a student and American....for me I have to WATCH almost everything she does, as I'm still learning the "exercise lingo" in French. Haha. But it was fun.
Today I worked half a day, and took the 2 little ones to "gym" this morning. It's like the YWCA, and there are tons of gymnastics equipment set up in a big obstacle course for all the little kids to play on. The moms just follow them and help them climb and balance, etc. There's even a handsome guy that works there and plays with the kids. But...I won't go there. Lol.
I had a hair appointment today (just darkened it again...it gets light SOOO fast, ugh). I either want my hair DARK or blonde....I imagine in a year maybe I'll be back to blonde. I'm not sure. It'll take awhile to go all the way back to blonde, so I'm not thinking about it yet. Anyway, I got my bank account all set up, and officially turned in all my paperwork to get my health insurance...so soon I'll get reimbursed! Yay!
I went for a mini jog and did Pilates, then called my brother Chris to wish him a Happy Birthday! Yep, he's not quite 30....haha!!!
Then I went upstairs to help shower and feed the kids with Jerome. It was actually fun...he and I laughed about a few stories, including what I consider "old"...and the types of guys I date, and rugby, and we both laughed about the kids being difficult when it comes to eating, etc...anyways, I made their "puree" (vegetables), cleaned some dishes, put them in their pajamas and now I'm here. I have dinner in 15 minutes, so I'm off for the neighbor's house. I am hoping that Ashley and I "click" and can become friends and hang out soon!
Tomorrow morning I start my French class. wish me luck!
A demain!

Dear Laura,
I hope you and Ashley have hit it off and will become good friends! By now you must have had your French class, too! I imagine that you will become very fluent in the language.
This is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, my feastday. I always have appreciated St. Francis. This is my day off from work. I'm getting cleaning... done around the house besides getting to go to Mass, relax and pray a little more. Last evening Sister Bernie surprised me with a special supper.
Take care!
Love and prayers,
Aunt Nancy

I used to love Jazzercize, but it is funny that they are still so "80's" Can you believe you have been there 3 months? Wow! Well keep on blogging! Love Judy
