Where is he?

4pm, Friday afternoon. The two little ones are ready...suitcase packed. Where is he?

I tried calling the kids father at 10 am....I had invited two families over for dinner and wanted to ask him to come get the kids a little later, but the cell phone went right into the message system. I talk to the three older kids and none of them want to go with their father so I try to call again at 1 pm. Cell phone is off now. Hmmmm.

I'm busy cooking for company and in between preparing things, I get their luggage together...but then 4 pm comes and goes......no Baba.

My company arrives at 5pm, and we all get busy with them and of course, the food. I made a turkey, lamb chops, mashed sweet potatoes, goulash, grape leaves, salad......so much YUMMY food.

9 pm comes and suddenly I think.....where is he? The week before he made such a fuss because the kids weren't ready at EXACTLY 4 pm. Hmmmm.

Oh and did I mention the paperwork that he brought me on Weds? Seems he got himself a lawyer and has responded to my support papers.... In his papers, he says he has no money and that he has nothing in Egypt and his heavily in debt. He also says he lost his business in Canada and that's why I left him. (shock) That's why I left him? WTH does that have to do with support? So many thoughts there, but stupidity isn't worth dwelling on......

My company leaves around 9:30 and then my oldest calls her Dad.....cell phone goes into messages.....so she leaves him one. He doesn't call back and we go to bed. The 6 yr old is sad and keeps asking..."When is Baba coming?"

Saturday morning.....no phone calls.....we call him again. No answer.

Sunday morning.....nothing. Do you think he's gone back to Egypt?
