Me, sentimental ?

This weekend was a rainy one, I'm not going to hide it to you, and I suppose it was a bit the same in Europe. We decided to go in Paris on Saturday, and stay home on Sunday, which was totally perfect.

As the title says perfectly, I'm getting very sentimental. I've always been. It has always been tough for me saying goodbye to people & places. But as we never met real friends along our different moves, saying goodbye to people wasn't very hard, because there weren't lots of people to say goodbye to. But it's harder for me to leave places forever. Home or places we used to go to. Being a SAHM, it feels weird leaving the place I spend my whole days & nights. Do you see what I mean ? Schools where the boys go, stores where I shop for food every other day, and places we visited these last two years. Let me tell you that you get habits very easily & very quickly. You get used very quickly to the fact you live very close to the biggest city of your country. But it's only before you move that you realize you could have done even more than you already did, you could have visited more places than you did visit. And then it's the time to say goodbye to your favorite places, before you go. Of course you don't go forever, you'll come back there, once a year maybe, hopefully twice a year. My heart is a little heavy because of that, but I know that soon I won't even have the time to get a heavy heart because I'm leaving places. I'll be leaving places, and everything will be alright. There will be new places, new favorite places, new friends hopefully, after a long time. New habits, new shops to shop from, every other day.

We'll miss you, Palais de la Découverte. (science museum in Paris) We loved you so much. You introduced us four to the thrilling world of science. We said goodbye on Saturday after 6 hours spent with you. And ... we'll miss you, Exki. You provided us many happy moments, healthy & yummy meals. Too bad you don't exist yet in Montpellier. :(I'll miss you, Le Bon Marché. My boys will miss your toys/games area, they drool so many times there. I'll miss your sewing & embroidery supplies area, so much. But I know I'll be back. Once a year. At least.It was the last time we were going to these places. We'll make one very last trip to Paris, probably next weekend. Then, no more. :(

I know this must seem way too sentimental for some (or most) of you. But if you're not going to move yourself soon, try to picture yourself leaving your own favorite places, and your own beloved people. Wouldn't you feel a little bit heavy hearted, at least for a little while ?

Oh well.

Saturday also marked Chris' 34th birthday. Quite a weird birthday week he had, poor man, right ? On Sunday we stayed home. It was Mother's Day in France, and my two little ones were the first to greet me as I woke up. :) Their good health, their infinite & everlasting love are the only things that matters to me. U had made a cute flower pot with a paper flower which petals spelled my name, and which heart (of the flower) was a photo of himself. Adorable. And P had done a lovely drawing at school for me too. Sweet ! It rained most of the day, which was perfect for staying home. Looots of Playmobils, Kapla & other games were played. A bit of housework done too (laundry mainly), but no box at all.Chris feels a bit better, and he has two appointments today. This morning with his regular doctor, and in the afternoon with a pneumologist. We'll see how it'll go. He's supposed to go back to work tomorrow.

I hope you all had a filled weekend. I apologize sincerely if I (still) owe you a visit. My mind is in a million places at the same time. Or maybe I already packed it in a box & can't remember. LOL
