I'm a bit stoned this morning, not from what I drank yesterday (just what was necessary to survive Parisian heat, you can imagine!), but from a bad night.

I did not stay long at all yesterday at the bar, but enough to make me want to come back soon again.
I also had enough time to share good laughs with the girls and & few other blog writers. Some talks were surreal! Blog writers are curious creatures, very interesting ones, motivated by very different sources of inspiration!

I haven't talked with all the people there, I was kinda really dead, preoccupied, and in a hurry.. and I can hardly remember who was who, lol. Gotta train and learn :)

Bu that was a nice liDle break, and a very enjoyable first time :) lol I do NOT exaggerate!

only 2 days since Loup got his cast and ... none of us are used to it.
We're stuck in the flat so far, cooked like lil piggies on fire, but it's ok, could be worse!

How did all that happen? Loup was running on the playground at school, another one ran in the other way and put one of his legs in front of Loup who fell and that's it.

The school called me like 5 minutes before the end of morning school time on Monday. Which is weird, I was to be there anyway 5 minutes later: I knew instantly something bad happened.
Arrived there with super upset school staff surrounding Loup.
Loup was lying down, no expression in the eyes, white and cold as a zombie.
The firemen arrived 10 minutes later and we left for the hospital were we spent almost the rest of the day.





See the scans? What a clear cut! ... must be so painful! (just looking at the pics makes me feel almost sick, a mama feeling I guess!)

We went back with an ambulance, I was not able to carry my lil one! (and so scared to hurt him)



The most difficult is feeling Loup's pain, his screams, I had never heard them before from him. Screams of sharp sudden pain, and that happens a lot in the night.
I wish I could take all his pain away, you know ...

I hardly sleep since Sunday, I just can't stand knowing my lil babe feels this way..

But then in a few days it should get better.
When the pain is too deep, I give him codeine and that works pretty well. I haven't given him any today, is it a good sign? :)

So Loup keeps his plaster/cast at least till mid august, we must go back to hospital for control scans several times.
His foot must not touch the ground, not be in contact with water either. No bath for 6 weeks...woo..
We expect a wheelchair before the end of the week otherwise I really can't take him anywhere

And then everyday life is slightly more complicated: he can't move at all so needs me all the time of course.
Going to the toilets is incredibly complicated (so far)
Changing his clothes
Trying to wash him
etc

I have no idea how I'll do to close my flat door and open it with Loup in the arms (body on one, fragile leg on the other), etc... I know I'll adjust and get used, but... (sigh)

Once his cast is taken off, there will be no re-education of the leg (they don't do it for kids they said at the hospital) and Loup should limp (boiter) for about 3 months.

Voilà!
I'm down when it's the middle of the night and Loup is suffering otherwise I'm doing ok. Tonight I go for a beer with other blogwriters, that will be a fine tiny break :) Loup has badly broken his leg
gets a heavy plaster (plaster?) for 6 weeks

booo
I go back to him, will give news All the end of the year's school parties are over!
No more cake to bake!
woohooooooooooooo!!
(dancing around, throwing petals in the name of kitchen freedom)

hehe, I'm kidding, they were really nice! And Lola's party on Friday evening was brilliant!
The theme was the "circus", and my lil clowns were so cute!

(wish I could add details but gotta run for a picnic! yeah I know summertime sucks :P hehehe)

aka.. "Mara des Bois", the name of the strawberries I've got for breakfast today.

And, OMG, they were delicious!
I bought them in a supermarket at a very reasonable price, I don't know if they were "transgenic" "super-vitamined" kind of strawberries... but they were GOOD!

And this morning I felt I was sitting under a tree, with morning dew on my bare feet.
These strawberries were so tasty, juicy, reddish, tempting and satisfying!

I wanna will feel the vibes of (the) New Orleans.

What vibes are you longing to feel?
What's the first dream you think about?

Could be an ice cream, could be Heaven to be real.

... Tell me:) Yesterday... lola was playing with the lil rebel, Arthur.
After 5 minutes she came to me.

"Mom, I have to tell you something: I'm in love with Arthur. And for real!"

I raised a concerned eyebrow, smiled (inside), asked her if she was really sure...

She got a lovely smile then, and pink cheeks: "Yes mom I'm sure!"

Then she went to him, I kept reading but couldn't help hearing Lola telling "and you know Arthur, if you want I can kiss you on the mouth!"

She repeated it several times...Insisting a LOT (lol a few things will have to be taught in the next years!)

I finally turned to Arthur to tell him that girls are this way, nothing to stress about... lol... and he can just say stop it if he wants.

Anyway, 15 minutes later Lola ran to me, with wet eyes.

She said, trying to swallow her own tears "no mom I don't want to talk"
She looked at the floor, crying.

OMG !!!
I knew this look, I knew it! She'd just got her heart broken for the very first time!


Arthur joined, looked at her, asked her what happened... she fought to not cry in front of him.

I asked no question, I'm a mom, and mom are not so welcome when hearts are broken, I know! I remember!

Shit what do I do!??

I gave her some kleenex... told her she can tell me anything if she wants.

(I felt old, I felt like a mom then!)

Finally she let it go: mom I've just fallen on the floor and opened my upper lips oh mom I'm bleeding! BOOOOO


PHEWWWWWWW!!!! What's your perfume?
Wearing any?

I enjoy perfume. When you find the *right* one, there's a kind of lil miracle that happens... the skin + the appropriate perfume, I believe, can make a very sensuous little something.

I hate heavy perfumes. Chanel or Dior stuff is like poison for my skin (but I believe they can be just perfect on someone else).

I feel superficial, right now, writing this post. I think I'm just the opposite though, and precisely.. writing this post!

I found my Graal in Kenzo's Amour.

And just heard there's a new Amour!



Tommorow I will religiously try the new Amour. I wanna so much that it smells like something I've never smelled before. A new sensation. Hope, pleasure, future.

edit: well, no hope, no pleasure, no future: the perfume stinks! lol edit: just added the pics! :P

Yesterday I cut Lola's hair! a success, so pretty!




Then Loup insisted so much, that I accepted to cut his hair... big mistake! Dunno how to use this shaver! He suddenly had some kind of army haircut, terrible!




And then today, Martin decided he had to cut his hair. What did he do? He let Loup do the job...!!! The result?...well.... let's say it's beyong *army haircut* (yeah that is possible!)




Yeah I know you all wanna pics! hmm oh I'm a bit lazy you know... but ok, for 1 pic posted I ask for a beer (fair deal! and.. the more beers I get the best quality pics I put :D) that's how much the French kids get for summer vacation! You think it's not enough?
That's what I thought 20 years ago :P

10 days of school from now, and then.. the devils are free!

2 months, 60 days of... happy times, games, mornings in pyjamas, late evenings, picnics, the beach, water games... sun (yeah, well I've not yet considered the fact we'll spend 3 weeks in Bretonie!)



2 months, 60 days... during which mama Candy will LOVE relaxing time with her babes! It's just that... mama Candy usually works at home on school time!

So, that means it's gonna be hard to get time for work except in the evening and night... I won't make any sport (my drug! :P) except in the evening either... and no real time for anything else really.

A big change of rhythm for me and actually a bit more complicate to organise my days.

But then it's gonna be fine and fun! I'll be just way busier than I usually am!

"summer vacation"
... ...that I'm enjoying so much the book I've started!

Can't tell you why right now. I'm page 307, still 700 other pages to go... and, on one hand, I feel like wanting to read it very quickly to discover more... On the other hand, I feel like reading it religiously, with devotion, slowly, sucking every word of it to not let it go too quickly... you know?

It feels so good. So good.

I'm working for a friend right now, who asked for a precise wedding gift. Very interesting &unusual kind of work!

...6 months before enjoying that:



I can't wait! It's gonna be so fun!

...to tell you how much this lunch with Dr Caso and the other bloggers was great!
Such a pleasure to spend this time all together again. I wish it could happen more often, really.

That makes me think... Mel' & Jenny, I might be in the mood to join you for the next Paris Carnet... what do you think, girls? :P

Ohhh and now I remember what I had forgotten really (winking @Mahie)... You know, my inner self is worse than a paparazzi: everytime I wander in Paris I meet a celebrity!

Well, then while I was on my way to join our Bloggers' restaurant... rue du Louvre... A grey porsche from les Yvelines stopped... and Eric came out of it, just passing in front of me, I could not miss him!

Don't tell me AGAIN that you don't know him!
(shrugging)
:P

But the real celebrities were those I was to meet at the restaurant :) the beach

the sand

the twilight

the beer

the magic :)

I think I can get the beer, good beginning!

When I drive, I *need* some kind of specific music. But not my favorite music.
I hate driving, maybe that's why I need *this kind of music*
hehe

I have this cd, that never leaves the car.
The kids love it, which is very important (worst than anything for me are children songs in the car!)

Am I ready to share this lil secret with you?

("It's not too late Candy, you can still change your mind")


ok, but... let's make it this way: only people who admit such kind of terrible secrets, are allowed to comment ;-) hehe

Ok, here's my driving' playlist! Don't laugh, don't say a word, I know that it IS shocking!


01 - Finger Eleven's Paralyzer

02 - Katty's I Kissed a Girl
03 - Katty's Hot N Cold
04 - Basshunter's All I Ever Wanted
05 - Estelle's American Boy
06 - Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music
07 - Pink's Get the Party Started
08 - Veronicas' Hook Me Up
09 - Pussycat Dolls' I Hate This Part
10 - Britbrit's Baby One More Time
11 - Christina Aguillera's Keeps Gettin' Better
12 - Nick Skitz' Listen to Your Heart
13 - Bob Sinclar's Rock This Party
14 - Pink's So What
15 - Britbrit's Toxic
16 - Kiss' I Was Made for Lovin' You

OUCH, yeah it hurts badly when out of appropriate background : me driving!

What about you? Do you get any dirty lil secrets, musically speaking?
Come on, don't leave me alone in *C'te honte Land* ! Sometimes, Lola shows signs that she'll be a typical teenager in a few years.

Life would be so annoying with a perfect lil lady at home (which was precisely the theme of the poem she told me for Mother's day! ... "I could clean my bedroom, and smile all the time, I could help whenever I'm asked to, etc etc but life would be so boring with such a perfect daughter, I love you mom" ... lol!!!)

Well, except when the shrimpette is tired and then a bit on nerves, she's such a delicious angel! Curious, wanting to learn, to understand, always easily expressing her love, etc etc.
I'm so proud. Sorry I repeat myself pretty often about Lola ;-)

On Sunday, she had to perform for the big final show (classic dancing).
It was so great, can't believe I'm the mama of such a delicate & gracious little bird :)



Well, before she started with classic dance, I suggested her to try judo, or anything she wanted really. Avoiding to stick her to stereotyped girlie occupations.
But she wanted to be a pinkish dancing butterfly! So right, if she wants it that much, let's go for it!

Next year Lola (6 year old) will follow the courses for 9-13 year old lil dancing queens. I'm proud! lol I know I know... but gotta tell and repeat and sing and shout it! :) I love super heroes... and seems to be spending some time with this one, lately ...



He's a bit too ironish to make me dream really but super heroes are fascinating. Not because of their super powers, well a bit yes, but mainly for the weaknesses they usually all get. Which makes precisely all of us superheroes.

It's just that we're usually more aware of our weaknesses than our superpowers, and I do really believe it. Only slept 5 hours, and for once feeling on top of the world despite the short night!

Is it sunny where you are?
It is, here in Paris. Warm, blue sky, perfect.

I have a lot of stuff to post in here, but lack the time to do it, so I'm typing the kind of absolutely uninteresting bloggie. hehe

My most exciting plans for today ?
...reading my book while the kids will play footie
...working the whole afternoon
...blogging tonight
...working again

See, I don't ask too much to be a happy bee

Wishing you a fine day with exciting plans I'm sorry for those who get the same messages on Facebook and Jango for my paintings, they're just everywhere, but gotta advertise anyway possible, huh :P

So here is (again) the last one(s).

For once, small format, not too much time on it, so not such a high price... BUT... lots of pleasure doing it, and sharing personal messages through it, as usual!
