Monday & Tuesday

21-09-09 ~ 22-09-09 :

TUESDAY

This morning I woke up at 7:30, helped with the boys, ate cereal and hot chocolate (our of a mug like a normal person). Gillian took the boys to school, and I had an extremely long hot shower and put some nice makeup on.

My cold still hasn't gone away :(

I am going to do homework now...

************************************************************************************

I finished my homework and the boy's slept straight from 1-4. Big nap, but they didn't get a whole lot of sleep this weekend.

They walked all the way home from school. We ate sandwiched for lunch.

When the boys woke up from their nap they ate a snack (well Alex did, Ben sat and sulked and then wet himself)... We began coloring, but Gillian arrived home with a new Blue's Clues DVD, so we watched that instead. Then colored.

We ate yummy potatoes with cheese and salad and beef tonight.

The kids are asleep and I'm talking to Mom and Dad and drinking vanilla tea with breakfast crackers...

I get to sleep in tomorrow, and then Gillian and I are going grocery shopping while the boys are at PreK.

I have school tomorrow afternoon...

WEDNESDAY:

This morning I got to sleep in! Then Gillian and I went to the supermarket. I think she underestimates how large these 'grocery stores' are! The food bit of the place was larger than Cosco in Moncton. Then there were clothes and kitchen appliances and electronics, and etc...Then there was a small shopping mall attached to that (clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc)...Let's just say it is massive.

I bought a small wicker basket to house things in my room. It is cute. I also bought a pencil for school and some toiletries. There was no yarn...

I got to pick out food that I like. Yop comes in huge 1.5L bottles, and so I got a strawberry/banana one that is fiber and calcium enriched....MMM FIBRE.

We ate P.B&J and leftover potatoes for lunch. I have to catch my bus to Lunel soon. I'll be there till 5:30 and then I'll be back home at 6. I'm going to find the Cafe D'Amelie that Esther was talking about.

I am at school right now. David (my retired English conductor friend) and my teacher and I went next door to a coffee shop and had a coffee after my lesson. I learned about passe compose and imparfait, and also worked on vocabulary. It confused me a lot so I'm going to find an explication of french grammar, in English, and also, I'll ask Gillian, as she is also a teacher.

David has told me about some coffee shops that I can take my 'ordinateur portable' to that have good food and wifi, and an art gallery.

I'll have to come in an afternoon and explore.

Lunel is such a cute little town. I'd live here, except for the creepy men on the streets.

I found Cafe D'Amelie, but didn't go in...next time. :)

I need a haircut.

Also, if I order a coffee again, i need to say "Grand Cafe Creme" which means large coffee with milk. otherwise, you get some black espresso in a small glass like a shot glass.. Their 'large' cups are about the size of Timmy's small cup.

************************************************************************************

Gillian is making calzones for supper. They smell so good.

They taste as good as they smell! They were SOO GOOD!

Gillian sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms and zucchini in a pan and added cream (and I suggested red sauce, so she put that in too!) sauce. She made homemade whole wheat crust and stuffed it with the toppings and goat cheese and emmental (it's kind of like mozza cheese).

SO GOOD!

They boys are having a bath and then they're off to bed.

I work from 8 am till noon tomorrow. I'd like to go back to Lunel in the afternoon.

Now I am off for the night.

Au revoir!

Lara...<3
