The King of Torts

I just finished reading John Grisham's The King of Torts (that I borrowed from Sheryza). I have to say it was a very good read.
I am a novel addict. Give me any novel and I'll eat it up as fast as I can unless it's really dumb like The Devil Wears Prada. It was so dumb I couldn't even go past the third page.

I'm not saying all John Grisham's books are good, but most of them are. Out of all his novels, the best of the best were A Time to Kill and The Pelican Brief. Those and others really left a print on my life.

Back to The King of Torts. I was so into the novel that I was dreaming about lawyers and settlements and money and yachts, and everything. One morning my husband was waking me for Fajer after I stayed up til 2 in the morning reading it, and I was so tired I slept while I was sitting up in the bed, and I had a dream: I was kind of aware that I was sitting up and that I was tired, and I told myself, if the clients want me they should come to me. I'm gonna sleep now. And so I put my head back down and sleapt. Astaghfirulla!
My husband (knowing my ways) came back and said: "I thought you said your getting up"?
Lo0o0oL. I was about to tell him about my clients and plaintiffs, but I remembered that I'm not in America, but in Saudi and I should get up quickly before the shaytan pees in my ears!

I have another John Grisham right here: The Testament, (also from Sheryza) and I'm ready to read it. Sometimes it's better to let the story sink in. Especially if the end was shocking, like in Harlan Coben's novels. I'll talk about his books on another post inshallah.

Le Le Le Le LeEeEeEeEeEe

That's a Za'3roota!
I'm SO glad I'm finished with the tests, and I think I deflated instead of exploding.

I'm really looking forward to enjoying this summer with a lot of laying back and picnics. Some reading too. I think I'll be calling Sheryza, because we need to start planning...
Oh! I remembered I need to do some shopping for my sister's wedding that's on the 28Th of June!
Mmmm...
But we can still do somethings here and there...
And after the wedding I'll be back in Madinah Insha Allah, and I'm gonna make up for all those times I missed going to the 7aram.

Close to Exploding!

There's a week left before the finals, and it seems when I feel pressured, the kids start making more and more trouble.They fight over the silliest things. I really want to kill them right now. Just when you get busy they remember all the questions they wanted to ask you all day, or start some silly argument...
Right now they are singing here over my head, one on my right and one on my left! And arguing who sings the song better??!!! I really don't know what to do... :-((
I'm really fed-up with this stuped education and everything I have to do to study. Mothers with two kids shouldn't be studying like this. So why should a mother with four???
I know at the end I'm not doing it for myself. I'm wasting the time I should be taking some painting course or calligraphy or sewing with my friends. Or doing some arts and crafts with my kids. Or reading a new novel. Or having coffee in the morning with a friend. Yeah those were nice days when I took a semester off...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
Right now the pressure is high, and it's rising and rising...
tic.. tic.. tic..
Run for your lives!
I'm about to explode!!!...
