I love how hopeful and optimistic the post before "never having children" is...
"oh just putting the kids to bed...will blog after...lalaallaa....so simple"
2 hours... 1 book...1 screaming baby....1 sneaky child later...
I'm still that optimistic person.

NEVER HAVING CHILDREN 22.32pm
Well that's slightly extreme, but my god putting the kids to bed was so difficult.
Started with Anais, tried to put her to be at 8pm, but she was screaming so I changed her nappy and tried again, she screamed and screamed and screamed so I gave her the dummy and shut the door and after 10 minutes she went to bed. Yes that's right TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. She woke up an hour later for more milk and more screaming, so I gave her the dummy and shut the door again. She, to this moment, is still asleep and I'm praying to God it stays that way. OH and I just threw that cat (literally) out the door because she was MEOWING too loudly (fuck loving the cat Sarah, IT IS EVIL) anyway Adam was next. He literally gave me EVERY excuse in the book! "oh if we do this i'll go to bed" etcetcetc I had to read the whole of a f-ing book with him (48 PAGES) and the after lots of calming he went to sleep, 2 hours after his bed time but hey. AND NOW I'm sitting on the balcony, in the dark, with killer Mozzies, praying neither of them wake u and that Fabrice and Myriam come home NOW. also, some arse hole upstairs is watching what only can be described as the 'worst of xfactor'. Mother just texted me saying well done and that it's the first time and it can only get better...which is hopefully true.
It's strange...when Ana was crying and clearly upset and distressed, I felt like crying too, it was awful, I felt so mean and horrible making her cry...god...bloody wolf.
Anyway, yes outside in the dark getting eaten alive.
BACK TO NON CHILD RELATED TOPICS:
language classes are going really well, I have so much fun in them and laugh a ridiculous amount and my teacher, Christophe, is really good, and funnily comes from Lille, so we were chatting about year abroad and he was bigging up Lille, calling it "ma ville" = "my town" and I kept mocking him from this disagreeing that it wasn't HIS town. Also had lunch today with some of the course mates and will do again tomorrow, they are all really nice and we were laughing at general Frenchness and how we are all inadequately prepared for French life.
I need a beer so badly...or a shot of vodka
STILL LIVING IN FEAR IF THE BABY WAKES UP
what is my life?
lolz
Tina, stop hating on da English yeah, ma mind is well confused at da moment!
LOVE TO ALL (hope it made you laugh...someone should be...)
PEACE AND BLESSINGS XXXXXXXXXXX

BONSOIRRRRR, so I've just sat down after Adam has been blowing bubbles at me and by that I mean he has basically been giving me a bubble shower, because he's a 7 year old and enjoys doing things that annoy you.
I changed classes today and I'm so glad I did! It is a class below the one I was in and most of the people are the same level as me, and the teacher isn't bad looking so there's a silver lining! So yes we discussed the environment and the moving of slovenian bears to France, god knows why, but there you go that was the topic. The class is really funny and I laughed a lot. There is Roberta who is Brazilian, and her boyfriend, some americans, a guy called josef and another called David, and a Japanese woman who is really funny called Choko. Anyway at the beginning we did a listening and I basically had no idea what was going on but after I while I got the hang of it, and managed to blag my way through questions, before the break we did a debate which was also tres drole, basically shouting at each other and no really knowing anything about this bear issue. Bears en francais is 'ours' which you pronounce as it's written...like ours on a boat...which is a bit unnatural and sounds stupid. I bought my lunch then came back to the apartment for the rest of the day. I did some cleaning, hung the washing out etc...then found the french Disney Channel which is AMAZING, kim possible and spy girls in french was so entertaining! So yeah watched that and drank tea for a couple of ours haha. It was not very sunny today and is now really cloudy, as it's preparing to rain tomorrow...I saw from people's status'/tweets that there was loads of thunder/lightening//hail! I'm really missing the tennis in London! Can't believe the William's sisters got knocked out!!!! But gutted for Wozniacki! I love her and her Stella McCartney/Adidas tennis outfits! Anywaaaaayyyy, listening to Adam's read a book and watching Anais get yogurt all over her face....PEACE AND BLESSINGS xxx

le premier jour
BONJ, well today was my first day at the language school and was really fun! Fabrice helped me get there and now I know what I'm doing! The metro especially is really fast WITH AIRCON (take that London underground!) SO yah, I arrived with the other newbies and we all had a talk then went to our separate classes. I am in the 2nd highest and was the only new person, everyone was really welcoming but it was a bit scary and I think the standard is a bit high for me...I spoke to the teacher and I might change tomorrow, there's no point being in a class where I'm a bit afraid to speak because everyone is amazing and I feel inferior lol. There is one guy who is already fluent in French and just answered all the questions (not that I'm complaining) but yeah it's weird....what can he possibly learn? So yes I may change but I may not. I want to improve but I want to be comfortable...hmmmm. I made some friends and especially with a girl from Barcelona..we were basically laughing at the weird American girl...who we actually lost after our lunch out haha.
After lunch and another quick talk, we finished and I did a bit of sight-seeing...saw le Capitole (big palace thing) and then walked along the river, also ate an apple pastry...was AMAZING (took a photo obvs)
Anyway, I'm back at the apartment, massive headache and really tired. AND I HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I really don't know how I did 5 hours of lessons a day.
Did I mention how hot it is. IT'S SO HOT. I'm dying... my body is really not used to this weather
I SHALL BE TANNED AND I SHALL DRINK LOADS OF WATER.

J'arrive a Toulouse!
So. I am in Toulouse! Currently Anais is climbing all over me as she wants to type. She's saying "da" to me and I'm saying it back...what a beautiful relationship.
ANYWAY got up at 3.30am...queued for two hours (thanks EasyJet...arseholes!) and I arrived in Toulouse at 10am. Fabrice picked me up and drove me back to the appartment where I was met by Myriam, Anais and Adam. I started speaking French straight from leaving the airport and it was crazy, obviously with some sentences I wasn't making sense but mostly I could converse! I feel like I've improved already and it's only been 10 hours. So I arrived and starting playing with Anais and Adam, and then we had breakfast. George you will be so proud. I have a croissant and nearly died of happiness haha. We were chatting and laughing at Adam then I started to unpack. We have lunch at midday-ish (an epic French salad..just epic...beautiful. I never want to leave this place)...then I had a nap. Woke up and Adam's party started. God knows how I managed to bond with these crazy 8 french kids, but I did and it was so much fun. We made this marble adventure thing..it was so difficult but in the end we succeeded...then onto lego...lots of lego. ANYWAYx now sitting on Adam's bed with Anais on my lap and we are writing this beautiful story...you can hear the violins can't you. I'M SO TIRED. SOZ SARAH BUT PICKING PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS WAS A BAD IDEA. Having dinner, then an early night because it's learning time tomorrow! (I start my French course!)
PEACE AND BLESSINGS XXXX
