10 pm, Halloween night. Kids are bouncing off the wall on a
mad sugar high! I’ve been up on my feet since 8 and I’m simply drained to my
bones.
An hour ago when I walked in, Walid proudly boasted: “I
cleaned up the kitchen!”
Bless him, I thought. I left a huge mess behind as I rushed
out of the house to go pick up the boys’ friend, drop three of the 5 in my car
at another friend’s, and head to another for trick or treating in their hood.
Granted I still had the last batch of laundry to do, the
last two luggage pieces to close and all kids ready for bed. But the kitchen
was a nightmare waiting to unfurl and my hero had just saved me from the kitchen witch's axe.
That is, until I stepped into the kitchen, an hour later….
Ten days, a trip to Egypt and a huge wedding later, I’m back
and I can’t remember why I wrote that intro. It’s a good thing I had no time to
finish it up! Lucky Walid.. he’s off the hook this time.
