I feel good !

The last time it was the renovation of our bathroom now it's the kitchen. Since I could not access to my kitchen my children eat at the school canteen. Normally, everday I bring them at 9AM and pick them up before 11:30 for lunch and bring Sébastien back before 1:30 PM Mayumi stays with me. Since the kitchen is under renovation I will pick them up by 4:30 PM. In this case, I have 7 and 1/2 hours all by myself....to kill the time. Of course, even if we have the renovation I still do the chores, chat and blog.

This is my old kitchen. If you will notice the black on the ceiling it was my fault. I almost burn down the kitchen :( but it's not the reason of renovation but because when we bought the apartment it's already the kitchen. We just wanted to change this old kitchen.

It's true that becoming a mother has a lot of responsibilities and things to prioritize. But on the other hand, responsibilities should not hinder us the need to go out and unwind without the children. It is not being self centered or irresponsible but a mother should not neglect his personal needs and desires. A mother needs a space to blossom too. As my frenchhoney repeatedly tells me everytime that I did not get married just to take care and attend to their needs.....that I should THINK and LIVE for myself too! That I should go out and enjoy the life without thinking what to cook, the mess to clean, the things to oversee at home etc. I maybe have the style of the women during the 21st century but it was my choice. I answered him that I have all the time to do that and that I will always have the chance to go out and have fun. Anyways, we do go out from time to time but he told me again "It's different if you could go out alone or with friends around" !

Now the moment came....Just like the last time, I went out with my vietnamese friend whom I met from my driving school. We easily became friends. She's very nice and because we have things in common, we are both asian and both married to frenchies. We could talk everything without borders for the reason of culture similarities. After that getaway, I reflected what my frenchhoney told me about going out alone or with friends and he is completely right! When I went out with my girlfriend, I couldn't explain the sensation I had. I feel new ! It was like I am an adolescent who went out without thinking of the curfew, that I need to go back or else my parents will scold me. Or a dove in a wedding that has been freed by the newly married and didn't care to fly back. So that's for me, being a mother we should not be a prisoner of our responsibilities. I think it's always a matter of time management and organization so as not to neglect things that are important for myself.

Picture was taken inside the metro on the way going at where we parked our car

I also had the chance to take pictures before meeting up with my vietnamese friend. I took the pictures of inside-metro nothing special !


And since it's Rugby's Championship League they made this structured garden in the turn around of Rond Point du Prado 8th District of Marseille. Cool !

Well, I did enjoy the small escapade. I think I should do it not more often anyway, kids are at school. I should take the advantage of my free time only for myself when kids are at school and let alone the mess ??? LOL Honestly speaking, I really feel good and I am happy to have found a little part of my old self because I've almost failed to heed on my personal needs.
