Food and more

Every meal seems to be bread, cheese and oil. Now I don't mind the bread and cheese because I love both, despite their carbs. But there is oil on everything, which I am slowly getting used to, but with these food habits I'm going to have to skip a few meals to not gain five pounds a week.

Yesterday was wednesday so the kids do not have school...why? I could not say, but it is also the most chaotic day of the week. Louis has school from 8-11:30 because he is taking bilingual courses, Henri has tennis at 9, Marie has tennis at 10, Henri always has soccer matches on wednesdays usually around 2 or 2:30, Louis has Tennis at 3, Marie has Piano at 3, then Louis has piano at 4:30..... being a human taxi, in a new city, natuarally I got lost... twice, and when I say lost I mean, how did I get here? There are so many roundabouts and they are all surrounded by trees or houses surrounded by trees, its very frustrating. But I think I have it all down... I hope.

Oh and I did not mention that we went to a bbq at Suzanne's on Sunday with a bunch of families, it was vary fun. I met a ton of new people. They had this thing hanging from the ceiling with pictures and sayings in like 10 different languages... one I found interesting:
Stupid people talk about stupid people,
Smart people talk about facts,
Intelligent people discuss ideas.

Louis' friend Bazil is staying with us till sunday which means we have 8 people in the house now at all times, 9 if you include Molly. Today was Genéve holiday, for what I couldn't say, but there was no school, and just a house full of children. Today we went to huge outdoor pool, with a huge water slide next to Lake Genéve, where the kids swam and I got to read. 100 more pages left in my book and life is good. I got comfortable in the grass with my book and my view was the fountain in the lake... the highest fountain in Europe and it is beautiful. There are colors in it periodicaly, blue for the holiday, rainbow for gay pride. The sun was shining and it turned out to be a great day.

Shoshana is coming by train tomorrow, and we are going to go out. I'm excited for the weekend, since last weekend I ended up watching the kids and helping to move, not ideal. But nevertheless I'm happy.

Oh and Louis and his two friends, Bazil and Peter have a very attractive Australian tennis trainer named Will, he introduced himself to me. Lets just say I'm looking forward to tennis next week.
