I saw four sheep slaughtered before 11am... how was your day?

So it's the Eid and let me tell you it's been a day. I came back to my family's house last night and had dinner with them. There were 2 sheep waiting upstairs when I got there and I was assured that there were 2 more coming. I wasn't sure how sleeping was going to go because my family's cousins are all here, but I shared the room with Leila and Chaima. Unfortunately Chaima's teeth are bothering her, so we both went to bed early, me because I knew today would be crazy, and Chaima hoping to get some sleep. I got up this morning and had this great breakfast of pancake-like things covered in butter and honey and of course tea. It was awesome! Then I went downstairs to change and brush my teeth, but I didn't get to do anything because the men came to slaughter the sheep. It was CRAZY!!!! I watched most of it and Chaima took pictures and a video for me. I still don't think it's registered for me, but it was pretty weird. I just kept saying "welli welli welli" which is like saying "ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh." I couldn't watch some of it, but I was seriously impressed with how much I was able to watch without seeing my amazing breakfast again. After they killed them, they would blow into the skin so that it inflated like a balloon because it makes it easier to shave off the skin. Once the legs, skin and heads are off, they hung them from the ceiling with plastic underneath. Never have I ever seen so much blood in one place in my entire life. It's truly amazing how these women cleaned after. They dumped water and soap all over the floor and the terrace floor and pushed it all into the drain in the corner. These women are so incredible! everything is clean and normal again other than the 4 sheep bodies just hangin out (no pun intended!) For lunch we had the liver and fat which btw is definitely an acquired texture. Then they all started cleaning again and although I keep offering to help, they told me no, but maybe tomorrow. Btw I'm still in my pjs... there just hasn't been any time to change and it's already quarter to 4! The day isn't even over, but I thought I should write now while I have the time... the way things are going, who knows what other crazy things will happen! My friend who is staying across the street told me that around the corner they are shaving off the horns and cooking the heads on a fire... Idk if I'm up for it now, but I might go and check it out later. I mean how many times am I going to be in a Muslim country for this?
