Since I returned from my holiday, this is where I have been spending most of my time. My kitchen is relatively large compared to most Egyptian kitchens and it affords me a nice view when I open the curtains. The main problem for this kitchen is that in the summer time, it is like an oven. I do not have AC in my kitchen, compared to the rest of my home. Once you start cooking and if you should need to use the oven, watch out. It is like a furnace. I decided a long time ago in my teens that I never wished to have children. I am glad that I had such awareness of my own limitations at such an early age. I am not one for raising children on a full-time basis. I have incredible respect for moms, especially working moms. Working moms who work all day, and still have to come home to fulfill their duties at home....nagging children, demanding husbands, dishes to wash, and clothes to launder.......my hat goes off to you. I know that God has special plans for working mothers. I really do not know how they do it. I don't feel this commitment level, honestly. God bless all the working moms of the world, east or west. My God bless and keep you safe for your families.
Until next time,
A Woman of Egypt
