A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Long day but a good day

The husband had a 'predictable' schedule today, so he dropped me off at work and the kids off at school today. It was a really nice thing since the A.C. is out in my vehicle of choice. He picked everyone up at the end of the day, and we all did a 'stocking up' grocery shopping together. It sure was nice to have the husband to help out with carrying all that stuff inside!

In my daily reading, I came across an article that I found a bit unusual: http://www.7days.ae/en/2008/05/28/life-verdict-for-cleaner.html Life in prison and then deportation? I don't fully understand this. But, I'm not a lawyer.......

Had a lovely weird thing happen today. First some background: I am an email pack rat. I save pretty much EVERY email I receive - especially at work. Well, a co-worker of mine was told she could not use a specific copy machine today or anymore (I think she felt badly treated being told that). I thought, AHA! I remember an email months ago going out telling everyone they could use that copier. And you know what? I found it! It only took about 10 seconds! And, it was from October! Once in a while, my strange pack rat tendencies pay off. And, what an 'in your face' moment. Sigh....not very nice of me.

I had a professor at university who told us that when we entered the workforce to be careful about what we wrote because "paper lives forever." Well, email is kinda the same way. Wow, I wonder what this means for a blog?

And to totally change the subject......

At the grocery store this evening, the husband bought a giant trashcan/bucket for hauling live fish. No aquarium, but we're ready to acquire fish (or at least transport them).

The article below, I think, applies to living in many places:
