Petite Clown wasn’t funny today. 
She was bothering her sister while I was pushing them in a grocery cart.  Petite Clown was in the front seat and Sweet Bear was in the basket of the cart.  I warned Petite Clown that she needed to stop being silly or I was going to make her walk since [...]

I have set an appointment for Vilay on Thursday in Cincy with an immigration officer.  I could only do it today since my schedule for work wasn’t posted until this afternoon. 
I think they may give him an interim work authorization.  No one told us that he could get that before.  I just read about it [...]

We found out today that more information was requested back at the end of October on the I-485 form for Vilay.  We never got the letter.  It was most likely mailed to my mother’s home and I will never know if she didn’t give it to me or if it was lost in the mail.  [...]

I have been reading some of my old posts to try and find my voice again.  I think that it is helping.  Once we moved from our apartment in Strasbourg into my husband’s parents home, I lost my heart for writing.  I want it back. 
I know that I miss France and that it will never [...]

Our family has been down for the past few days with the stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis).  It all started with Boy Blue and lots of clothes washing by Mama to clean up what was coming out of both ends.  Fun.  fun.  fun.  Let me tell you.
Then, Sweet Bear started Sunday night and Petite Clown in the wee [...]

All my coursework from Antioch was before July 1, 2002.  Florida will only accept coursework dated after that date.  So, [...]

I have stopped using chemical based deodorants.  I, now, only use Tom’s of Maine.  Why?  Because…it is safe.  It works better.  I love the smell (I use Lavender and Vilay uses Woodspice). 
When we arrived back in Ohio this past summer, I soon remembered how HOT and HUMID it can get here.  I was putting deodorant [...]

Because I cannot wait for the letter from the Florida Certification Department…
I have spent a couple hours plucking away at these keys beneath my fingers! 
I think that I will have to drive to Pittsburg and take a test in which I can demonstrate my mastery of Subject Area Knowledge (K-6).  After I have done this [...]

Sweet Bear - “When I grow up I am going to have a boyfriend.”
Mama - “Really?!?”
Sweet Bear - “Yes.  When I am in high school.”
Mama - “What are you going to do with your boyfriend?” 
Sweet Bear - “Kiss.”
Papa from the other room sternly in French - “Out of the question!”
