The older kids summer kind of started today. They are for a week before they have exams at the end of next week. But seeing as their finals aren't college finals, they're acting like they don't have school for months. The 13 year old spent the night out last night and I received a text from him asking him to pick him up at the station after lunch. Odd. I hadn't been told by the parents that I had driving rights. Apparently I do. Somewhat at least. I ran to the car and freedom and off I drove for a full 5 minutes by myself. Glorious. I've always liked driving and haven't ever really taken it for granted, but being here has made it ever so clear again.
After I got the 13 year old, we headed home and ate lunch. The 17 year old was babysitting across the street so we both took our respective charges to the park. They are in the same class at school so it's an easy play date enough to make. When we got home the 15 year old and I made meatballs. First time for me and they turned out pretty tasty if I do say so myself. Snuck in a little cayenne again, without any complaints this time. Put the Kid to bed a little late, but no school tomorrow, so we're a little bit more relaxed.
After I was all ready to watch a movie with the kids, I got a call from a friend inviting me out. I wasn't sure how I was going to get there, but the Mom ok'ed the car and I was out the door. I had planned on staying the night, but with the car, my night was cut short. I've been coming off slightly unsocial, and I don't want to be. But I live with these people, ad not making them angry is kind of a priority. Later by normal standards, early in France, I headed home, driving a car.
