Play dates are a pretty great invention. The entertainment one kid provides for another could never be matched by one lowly au pair. Today, being the long day of the week, I had the pleasure of hosting another kid at the house. For 2 hours, I was not needed, or wanted for that matter. It was pretty great. They blabbered on in French, which is funny to listen to. I am able to understand a lot, but the speed in which they talk makes it quite tiring.
I made pasta for dinner. I decided to make a sauce, just as an experiment. It was a garlic cream sauce, and it turned out pretty darn good, seeing as how I didn't have a recipe. The kids were wary, but there was no sauce left by the end of dinner, so another success in the kitchen.
Emotionally, today was better. Honestly though, I just don't allow myself to think about anything regarding the situation at home. Hopefully, by the time it all comes flooding back, enough time will have passed that I can deal with it. Seems healthy enough.
It's cold again, and the downstairs radiators are on the fritz. Of course, my bedroom is the only one on the ground floor. I believe the word you are searching for, is awesome.
