干不完的家务活(2)
“Don’t take the shortcut; Donna!” He shouted after me。
  A heart attack that past spring forced my husband to leave his job。 l was in the middle of my twenty…second year teaching high school seniors; while 
  The new arrangement was a disaster。 Exhausted after a day of dealing with faculty meetings and students; all I wanted was a hot home cooked meal and a good night’s sleep。
  A microwave package greeted me at the table。
  One night; I was horrified to discover 
  “l found out how to save on water; soap and electricity。” “Just wash everything together。”
  During the months that followed; his cooking somehow managed to get worse。 At least I cooked us balanced meals; I wanted to say。 But then I would remember the time ; though I discovered later how he detested the sight of beets。 So I wouldn’t say anything to him。
  As far as I was concerned; things couldn’t get much worse。 So that rainy morning when I found a now…blue half…slip stuffed in a dresser drawer; I could only grit my teeth; l had it!
  Lord; can’t you help him with just the basics of taking care of us? I stormed out of the house。
  Ten minutes later; ignoring ’s warning about taking the shortcut in bad weather; I turned off the main route。
  But as I rounded the corner a swirling mess gushed across my path。 It can’t be that deep; I thought。 But after a few feet; the car stalled。 Almost 20 minutes passed; the car swayed。 The chocolaty water surged。 Please; God; I prayed; take care of me。
  Three long blasts of horn interrupted my praying。 Looking over my shoulder;  !
  “Donna!I’m throwing a rope;” he yelled。 “Hang on to it and walk straight toward me。”
  I opened the door; grabbed the rope。 I slipped in the rushing water; “ I can’t!”I screamed; straining at the rope。
  “Yes; you can。” His voice was calm。
  If it had been anybody but  ; I don’t think I could have done it。 But I trusted my husband。 I didn’t exactly as he instructed; and finally fell into his arms。 “Thank you;” I said; sobbing against his chest。 “I’m sorry I got so angry with you。 It’s just that 。。。”
  “Sssss 。。。”  murmured。 “It’s okay now。 I’ve got you。”
  God had reminded me that  understood a thing or tow about taking care of us after all。
