Here’s to good health

January 31, 2006

Boy Blue is better. He had four chest massage sessions. It was horrible each time. The look on his face during these sessions reminded me of when I was in labor with him. I think he felt like I did…helpless. He cried and struggled against her. But, all he could really do was wait until [...]

Follow frog to mystery blog

January 30, 2006

I see lots of nice blogs out there in bloggie world. However, I can’t put every single one of them on my sidebar, as much as I would like to. So, I thought it would be nice to share blogs that I like in a fun way. Check back daily or whenever you want to [...]

Get Firefox or surf with Opera!

January 30, 2006

Both are FREE. Both are FAST! Really, fast. Why I have switched to Firefox and Opera??? Easy. Even the sidebar on my blog knew better and tried to run away in Internet Explorer. Several times after posting or adding something to the sidebar of my blog, my sidebar simply disappeared to the bottom of the [...]

Kentucky Dreams

January 29, 2006

Yesterday, I posted about how my cousins and I played baseball in the summers. We played in my grandparents backyard in a small hollow of London, Kentucky. My best memories of childhood are from Kentucky. I lived in Kentucky on and off between Ohio and various other states as a child. When we were not [...]

Chateau du Pourtales

January 28, 2006

We come here often to walk and play with the children as do many families and young couples. The Chateau du Pourtales is surrounded by trees and we can walk without difficulty on the paths with the babies. There is a huge open field where last summer, I saw some young college students playing American [...]

Tu ne me l’a pas demande. (You did not ask me.) Now, say that five times really, really fast. If you are able to do it…I am soooo jealous.

A small change with lots of work

January 27, 2006

Ok. I just changed my template to something that was more…me. But, I forgot about my Haloscan commenting system. All my old comments dissapeared! I would like to ditch Haloscan but it is not so easy. Luckily, I had saved my old template before I switched so I just copy and pasted it back into [...]

The mystery of search engines

January 26, 2006

If you look I have four counters on my blog right now. Not because I am obsessed with knowing who comes to this blog. No, I am just a perfectionist trying them all out to see which one I really like. I got the pumpkin counter from Page Zone because it’s a pumpkin. “Enough said”, [...]

Deal or no deal

January 24, 2006

Last month I had made a post about my favorite French game show that I watch while cleaning up the apartment just before the kids head off to bed. Notice I said just before because anything short of just before they go to bed is simply a complete waste of time. It will be all [...]

You call that French?

January 24, 2006

I just wanted to see Sweet Bears reaction to my speaking in French with no English whatsoever. All other times I speak to her only in English or say one or two words in French. Never more than one sentence in French. Even then I follow with the same sentence said again in English. Lately, [...]

A woman’s choice???

January 23, 2006

I was at Connie’s blog reading her very thoughtful post about a woman’s right to choice on “Blog for Choice” day which was yesterday, January the 22. I thought about blogging in regard to this issue but changed my mind because I don’t really support abortion. I do, however, support a woman’s choice to decide [...]

A day at the park

January 22, 2006

Last week we had made a visit to a park while running errands in Strasbourg. Parks in France are typically very child friendly. The colors and design of the playground are functional and cute. There is almost always a gate completely surrounding the playground area securing any wanna be runaways from doing just that. While [...]

Hands off the baby

January 21, 2006

Boy Blue has been…well, kinda blue lately. He hasn’t been feeling up to his smiling, cooing ways. He has not even pulled his sisters hair in the last three days. Boy Blue has caught a bug that is keeping him down. Bronchiolitis is the culprit! I took his temperature the other night at around one [...]

Strasbourg, my home of two years now

January 20, 2006

Since January the 13th, 2004, Strasbourg has been my home. Petite Clown was exactly two months old on the day we stepped off the plane. Two years have flown by and each day France becomes more and more home and less and less strange. I love living in France and will never live any where [...]
