I picked up my son.  He reached out and grabbed me by the neck.  He started making lovey noises as he pressed his cheek against mine.  He leaned back into my arms to look deep into my eyes.  I saw him lean back in with a big open mouth.  I thought, “Oh, no!  He is [...]

Vilay asked me one day why people he worked with would tell him “hi” and say “how are you” as they sped past him not even waiting or wanting an answer.  It was a little over five years ago when we started our life together here in America before moving to France.  I told him it was just the [...]

I am learning a new job in another department at work.  I love it!  It is fast paced and I never watch the clock.  The people in the department are all friendly and work as a team.  It makes all the difference in the world.  I look forward to the day. 
Where is it that I [...]

During the past couple years when I look in the mirror I am pretty happy with what I see.  Even though we have moved back to the States I have not gained any of the weight back that I had lost in France (about 34 pounds).  Well, that is not exactly true.  I did gain [...]

Me- “So, how many boyfriends do you have?”
Angel (rolling her eyes)- “Mama!  I already told you boys only like girls that other girls think are ugly.  Boys are stupid.  My girlfriends and I just don’t get it.”
Me (grinning)- “O.k.”
Angel (blushing pink)- “There is this one boy that told me he likes me.”
Me- “I think he is [...]

Congressman Turner,
I am an American by birth with three American children born to myself and my French husband. We moved back to the U.S. after my husband lost his job in France. We had no where to go. I have applied for my husband’s green card and work authorization. I do not make enough money [...]

We went to Cincy.  We talked to the person that you check in with.  We were told by her that she would have the request for information remailed to us.  The person I talked to last week has not had it remailed as she had told me she would.  The person that helped us today [...]

When I had to leave France I was bitter and afraid.  I was happy and bold.  I was lost and found all at the same moment. 
I see the good and the bad in both countries.  I would prefer to spend six months in France and six months in America.  I wish I could have both [...]
