Adjustment

When we were in the States, that feeling of nervousness was gone from my chest.
Once we hit Paris it was back.
I have know idea why I let this city get the best of me from time to time.
The problem is after we return I am very aware of the feeling, so this time I decided to take a mental day and just take it all in.
This chair looked like the perfect place to figure it all out.

There are no parks like this in the States, so I found peace in chips and queso there, here I decided to save myself another pants size and take in the scenery.

This is not a bad way to deal with anxiety.

I had a million conversations in my head...what I want for our kids, us, I should be cleaning the house instead of sitting in a park, what I love about the States, what I love about here, if all of Paris was as friendly as the employees at the Apple store I would stay forever, you know everything a woman thinks about when she is alone.
The conclusion?
There was none, just that it was an amazing sunny day here in Paris and sometimes I just need to be reminded of how good we have it and that I better get my butt up and pick these guys up from school.

I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about Paris and their first days of school and asked Aidan to join in the photo session, he had a different idea

Cheers.
