Alright, so Monday October 22nd I leave Paris. That night my girls and I have a sleepover in New York, and the next morning I take the train to my hometown. Total price: €464.

I'm actually really excited to spend Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas back on familiar territory with familiar faces and familiar food. And Flossie.



FLOSSEHHHHH


I got a really mean email from the host family I let down, which just cements my contentment at not spending a year with them.

Okay, and then right before midnight she replied in French (even though we always spoke English together), which I'm going to translate:

Erin,
I just realized what your message meant.
Too bad you didn't think about all this before you met us.
Because you have free time right now and I don't and school starts next week.
You should have told us about your doubts right away. I could have spent time with other candidates who were actually motivated.
It wasn't fair on your part to have us work so much knowing you weren't really interested.
Your reasons seem to be diverse. For adapting to life in our house, I don't think there would have been a problem, not even for the outings because the boys really liked you.
For the paperwork, everything would have been resolved quickly with some work.
No one can accomplish anything without some effort...
It seems that homesickness is the main reason for your decision.
Good luck with your future life.

I notice she didn't address the FINANCIAL CRISIS I'm having... did I mention there's NO WIFI in the studio they were going to give me? I was going to have to pay for my own wifi. And all my food. I thought I made that concern very clear in my message.

Also, how did she think I was going to control those boys??? The first day I met them they were running all over the place in the street and weren't listening to their own MOTHER, so how was a person who is incapable of raising her voice going to keep that under control?? I told them it was bathtime and they would just ignore me to the point where I had to pull toys out of their hands and push them into the bathroom. AND THESE WERE THE FIRST TWO DAYS. The little monsters I had last year at least tried to impress me and be super nice for the first two weeks!!!

Anyway, no regrets. I'm so relieved to have gotten out of that.

Wow, what a bitch. I mean, come on! You were being nothing but nice in yours, and she comes back with "You shouldn't have done blah blah blah!"

You totally dodged a bullet on that one.
