Caroline just broke the news to me that Juliette and Margot wanted to stay at home tomorrow and not go to school (what kid kid doesn't?!), and she's allowed it. They've never NOT been to school since I've arrived here, but I should be quite worried about an extra day of hell. But nope - I'm feeling too positive. Unless it's bad karma for the easy-ness of today?
Normally Wednesday is the WORST day (for Catie AND me!) because it's a non-school day in France (or just morning school for the older kids). For Catie it's a day of child-entertaining, and for me I spend the day taxiing around children. It's a pile of hoots. But after this morning's events with the car, and the huge and sudden amount of snow we've had this afternoon, the girls didn't go anywhere! We had a really lovely and peaceful afternoon, and I even brought my small DVD player down to plug into the TV in the living-area and we watched Twilight. In French! Who knew Edward Cullen could be EVEN SEXIER?? Oh god, my heart skipped a beat when he turns to Bella for the first time and says 'Bonjour'. *Squeals* You half expect a little glint in his eye and slight suggestive pout!!! Arghh :P And because I also know all the words to Twilight, it was pretty easy (and very educational!) watching it in French (without subtitles). I even extended my generosity further (even after sacrificing a packet of Betty Crocker mix) and made the best-ever looking mini-pancakes - also referred to as Scoth Pancakes/American Pancakes/Drop Pancakes... but to be honest I really can't tell the difference! The girls were very happy.
So today was pretty amazing. But it was yet to get even better!! I discovered this evening to my absolute AMAZEMENT, I have received an UNconditional offer to Bangor University! I can sit and twiddle my thumbs for the rest of the year and I'll still have a place in the summer! Oooh my giddy aunt! (Who's having the last laugh now?) So I finished the evening ringing Rosie (whom I'll remember to mention in my Oscar Award Acceptance Speech for forcing me to sit down and embark on the mission of UCAS Applications) and dancing round the house like a Katie Waissel who's scraped it through to the next week on X-Factor once again.
