Even in occupied Iraq.

…suddenly my sister knocked on the door to tell me to HURRY UP because there is an inspection in the neighborhood, while I was saying to her” ok ok I will ” , my mom came and said that the soldiers were in our house . I wore my clothes while the soap was still covering my face and went out!!! ..
& I said OH GOD MY ROOM !! it was sooooooooooo messy ( but today I organized my room & my bed before going to schoolÂ…)

Thanks to my mother for introducing me to Sunshine’s blog, as well as her mother’s blog. You can read the mother’s description of the inspection experience here. Both blogs are a compelling peek into life in Iraq.
