My husband travels a great deal in his job to wonderful and exotic places--well except sometimes he has to go to Tulsa. But most of the time it's to places I can't spell. It's a wonder our marriage has survived. Dressed in his expensive suit and crisp starched shirt, carrying his laptop and briefcase, he would tell me that he'd call as soon as possible from the Intercontinental in Paris but that it might not be til tomorrow because they had a business dinner at some 5-star restaurant and then they were playing golf and then they had tickets to.... I, with two small boys wailing and clutching my legs, would look down at my jeans and t-shirt, which usually had strange food stains on it in the shape of small handprints and contemplate whether a jury would find it justifiable homicide if I ripped open his jugular with a diaper pin. If my attorney could make sure there were only the mothers of small children on the panel, I felt sure I would walk. I'd probably get a standing ovation.
