I have absolutely no idea what will be happening with this blog, but I finally have a computer that's actually (mostly) mine, and so I can blog without attempting to type everything on a phone. In the past, I've mostly ended up writing about our daily lives in France, but then, in the past, everything has always been a little bit new and a little bit exciting. And now, things are a little bit less new, and a little bit less exciting. Also, I'm out of the habit of writing about them. So I guess I'll just try committing to writing something most days and see what happens.
So, what kind of background should I give. I'm a forty something American living in a medieval town in France with my husband and my three kids who we will call, for the purposes of this blog, well, I have no idea. Maybe I'll ask them what they wish they'd been named when they get home from school today. In any case, they're almost 10, 13, and almost 16, and they're all pretty much bilingual in French and English. I, unfortunately, am not. At least, not yet, but I have high hopes that I might manage to be something like bilingual by the end of the year. Assuming of course that I put enough time and energy into it. And probably find someone or ones that wants to help me practice speaking French. In any case, I'm working on it. And I'll try to regularly update with my language triumphs, such as they are.
In my previous life, back in the States, I was a mathematician, or at least a teacher of mathematics at the university level. Here, I'm a femme au foyer, in other words, a housewife, at least until I manage to find a proper job. I wish that I could say that I was, at least, a stellar housewife, but alas I think that I'm better at a lot of other things than that.
