I take BACK my WOOHOO and replace it with “OH MY GOD!”

The boys have decided to wage war against each other at every opportunity and for no reason at all. I am HERE boys. I am HERE watching you annoy each other, lash out and then hit each other.  No shame! Just get along for goodness sake. For all you know in 15 years time you may be on different sides of the planet and be missing each other terribly.

I have just finished reading The Kite Runner. Please do not read this book – you will start the first chapter bawling and each subsequent chapter you will cry more. I could not speak to husband when I read the final page as mucus was streaming out of my red nose and tears were dripping onto the book – I was sobbing LIKE A BABY. So after gym last night (I am going twice a day – how is that for insanity?), I cried some more and could not speak to husband. At bedtime I sobbed again. And all he asked me was, “So, is it a happy ending?” ( I will not answer as I am not a party pooper and would hate to spoil it for you all.)

HA!

So now I need a light, funny tale as I could not possibly read through another tearjerker. He is a marvelous storyteller by the way.  Any ideas on a book a little less emotionally exhausting?

  • Women are equal in every aspect
  • A woman’s place in not necessarily in the home
  • There is no shame in a father taking care of his children, changing their nappies and cleaning up after them
  • A marriage is a partnership where both spouses are able to have their say and any arguments or disagreements must reach a mutually agreeable conclusion. Men do not have the upper hand
  • Angels will not curse anyone if a spouse isn’t in the mood
  • Men do housework
  • People should not be judged on how they look least of all what covers their head or what doesn’t cover their head
  • A woman is not an adulteress if she wears perfume outside the home
  • Women should be encouraged to visit the mosque and graves
  • How to cook, clean and take care of the home
  • A woman’s sole purpose in life is not to please men
