Work for nothing Rambling | (3)
Sometimes, I just feel like throwing in the towel. I am the kind of person that always tries to see the bright side of things. Having said that I will admit that there are moments in my life that it has been hard to do just that. Well, in spite of everything that we have been through this past six months or so, I have felt pretty good about it all. I never had the feeling we wouldn't be able to make it. My husband, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of me. Every single time he gets upset ...

Balancing it all out Life, Rambling | (3)
We took Boy Blue and Petite Clown into the county health department for their shots today. Boy Blue got two (he had already gotten two a couple months back from this health clinic) and Petite Clown got one. Each shot was 5 dollars totaling up to 15 bucks. I wasn't upset to pay that for the shots since I had a 20 dollar copay with my previous health insurance anyway. I know it is more than we would pay in France but we are still waiting to get approval for the free health care for children offered in Ohio called ...

A beautiful day Rambling | (2)
We spent Friday walking around Cincinatti in the rain. Everything went fine with Vilay's appointment. He got his picture and fingerprints taken. The guy helping Vilay told us that it could be as early as a week for his work authorization to arrive in the mail. We are happy about that! It was much faster than I had thought it would be. Today the weather was just beautiful. We went out to Hidden Valley Fruit Farm near Waynesville with the kids. Because the kids were dressed up they got to go in the haunted barn for free. Ha! Like that was going ...

Happy to be working Rambling | (8)
I have a full time job! I went on an interview today and the company offered me a buck more an hour than the most stable of my three part-time jobs. So, I called the other employer and explained that I could not accept their offer because I was offered so much more by another company. I told them that Vilay was not able to work right now and that we have three small children to support. I was told that they would see what they could do and call me back. Not half and ...

New blog title Rambling | (14)
I have changed the title of my blog because From my French window doesn't fit so well now. Madame Citrouille (Mrs. Pumpkin) is a perfect fit because it is my French name and was given to me by a special reader, Roland. Thank you, Roland, for all your thoughful comments and every time you called me Madame Citrouille I smiled. I loved it! The other reason Madame Citrouille fits is the fact that I picked Pumpkin Pie due to my being homesick for America while living in France. Now that I am in America I am homesick ...

Roadtripped up America, Rambling, Travel | (9)
We. officially. have. a. car. It has made our life so much easier and I am now able to actively job hunt. This past weekend we flew into Daytona Beach to pick up the car from my uncle's house and drive it back to Ohio. Unfortunately, we got lost on the way back. Don't ask me how. We just did. I will say that a certain someone didn't print the directions out from the internet. Certain Someone said that he knew the way. Next time...Certain Someone is printing or I am going to tatoo ...

New template Joy of parenting, Rambling, Uncategorized | (5)
I have found a template that I think is cleaner and easier to read. Please, let me know if anyone has any problems with it. I have checked it under Firefox and IE. The beautiful picture of the bridge is not mine. Therefore, I will be searching for a new header over the next few weeks that fits the new look. I'll be playing around with the camera trying to capture an image that sums up Pumpkin Pie. Perhaps I will take a picture while in Florida this weekend that I can use. Who knows... We will be traveling to Florida to ...

If it costs more it must be better?!? America, Life in France, Rambling | (3)
The other night I was talking with my mother's neighbor who is a woman about the same age as me and she has four children like I do. We were talking about how each birth was different and about the care that we received at the hospitals where we delivered. I had to hold my tongue when she told me that America has the best health care in the world and that must be why it is so expensive. I simply responded that France has wonderful health care and it is free. I just could not believe that ...

Cleaning up the blog and a stinky kid or two Life, Rambling | (1)
I will be cleaning up the blog over the next weeks. I have no clue what to name it. I can't really leave the name as "From my French Window" when I don't live in France any longer. I guess I could argue that our family is Franco-American and that is where the French comes in. I don't know if it really even matters what the name is. Once my husband told me to just name it Pumpkin or Pumpkin Pie. I think I will just carry on with blogging here in the States ...
