Flip that Switch!

My French teacher always tells me that there is a switch in your brain that flips when you learn another language. She always says that you have to reset that switch when you are away from that second language for awhile. Well.... I need mine reset quickly! The kids seem to have jumped right back into their French but Josh and I struggled a bit today. We already had the kids translating for us yesterday during our traveling.... Max had to translate for me on the plane while Calvin and Taba had to translate for Josh at the drive through at McDonald's when we were trying to grab lunch before leaving Paris. It's a painful process to try to get back in the French mode. At the grocery store today while running my one million post-vacation errands, the poor clerk was just trying to ask me if the Orangina was mine or if it belonged to the woman behind me in line. I could not understand that most simple question for the life of me until she finally reverted to some very broken English! Sorry! We also all struggled with jet lag and fatigue today! Our night was not the most restful last night.... Josh and I had a very difficult time falling asleep despite the fact we were exhausted. At 1 a.m., Coco got restless and whiny in her crate. We ignored her and told her to go back to sleep, just assuming that her little body clock was off too. At 4 a.m., Calvin came downstairs to tell us that he had puked.... He often has some motion sickness with travel and unfortunately, it doesn't always occur at the time of the motion! We spent about 20 minutes cleaning up that complete mess as he sleeps in the top bunk..... Shortly after falling back to sleep, we noticed a terrible smell in our room and determined that Coco had had an accident in her crate.... She hasn't done this since we first brought her home as a new puppy..... Guess she was trying to tell us something at that 1 a.m. wake up..... We then spent time cleaning her and her bed up..... Anyway, we were all very tired today. Calvin told me quite confidently that he really woke up at about 9 o'clock at school today. I said "Wow, that's great.... I didn't really feel awake until after lunch". He said, "That was after lunch, I meant 9 o'clock US time!" Calvin had to read a silly French story out loud to us today.... I thought you might enjoy a bit of the video.
We took Coco in to get "fixed" today.... She was gone all day at the vet's. The poor thing is so tired, so sore and so confused! Why do we keep torturing this cute puppy?
