Hi, so its Saturday evening here and I'm up at the house babysitting for the evening. I anticipate hearing Matt and Tiph scampering about upstairs when they are supposed to be falling asleep. Tonight is actually the first night of babysitting in quite awhile...since before Christmas. So I plan to call a couple friends and maybe watch a movie until I fall asleep.
Today was good, and simple. The sun was out; and no clouds! It was about 51 degrees or so, so not bad at all. I was happy to have the sun out and not freezing temperature. I woke up early and showered, then went shopping with my boss. She invited me last night to go with her and Inès, and a friend, to an outlet mall. Sounds silly, BUT the outlet mall was on SALE too because of all the Paris sales going on, so the prices were great. One store had 70 percent discount!! It was cool to do something new and different for a few hours, and have a free ride. I came upstairs this afternoon to do some ironing and watch Matthieu voluntarily for an hour while the parents had a meeting. Then I went into Paris for a couple hours to get to a pharmacy and just window shop. Now I'm back here to babysit. So, today was mellow with some family time. I didn't mind. Tomorrow I plan to sleep in, and exercise, and then I am not sure what else I will do.
I am getting excited to see my family next month!! I will start planning their "itinerary" for the 12 days of overlapped visits! I also am starting to plan my return flight home, as well as a travel week and a few travel weekends around Europe before I leave. Time really is going faster than I thought. It is exciting to think about the future and make some decisions. Or at least come up with ideas to begin. Things are really good with work. I even heard through the grapevine that Virginie told a friend that she is really happy with everything at home and the work I'm doing and seeing my relationship with the children and the positive attitude, all good things since Christmas break. So I am starting to put things into perspective and enjoy and appreciate these last 6 months here with the family. I can't let silly things (like the few pounds I've gained since being here) put me in a crummy mood and affect my daily happiness.
Ok, off to call some friends. Bonne journee!

I am glad things are going good over there. I must keep working on those resolutions I adopted from you. Sounds like you are doing wonderfully with them! Seriously Kluss, call me if you want to talk shop about Salzburg.
Did you hear that Ms. Stefani is pregnant? Thought you'd want to know. :)
