She deserves a post just for her...

I went to France (Lyon) last weekend. No kids, no DH. As usual, came Friday and I was wondering why I was putting myself through that....LOL...Honnestly when the boys were born, I could NOT wait to get these kind of opportunities...Leaving them in good hands for a bit of fresh air..But well it's not easy to find a good place for 2 babies (as lovely as they were) and my mother who screamed to have them, lives 1,100 kms away. But since Manouk I find it hard to leave them behind. Honestly I have no clue why..

So I went Friday morning till Sunday night to my sister in Lyon. Her DH was in China, my mum joined us. And my other sister too for a little while. A girlies' weekend. Just fun...

We shopped..A lot...It was the first time in a long time that we spent so much time (about 7 hours) just the 2 of us - no kids - going our ways, no interruption....We tried lots of things on, giggling till tears blinded us. There's nothing like a bit of shopping therapy...Does wonder to my spirit! Thanks mum for minding all the kids...

Now ...I don't see her a lot and I miss her even more. Of course we talk on the phone but I wish we lived closer. Our 3 kids each adore each other and they miss each other too.

She's my little sister, my best friend, the one that can make me laugh till it hurts, the advisor, the get my feet back on the ground, the sensible, the tolerant. I'm older but she's usually the one who's right!!!

I hope I give her 50% of what she gives me. Thanks J. for such a fun w/e!!

So my blog friends I wish you all a litle sister too, but this one she's mine!
