Real Shower

I'm going to take a real shower today.

I also took one on Sunday (while my awesome Husband took the Crazies to the playground...seriously, he rocks sometimes).

Real Showers are few and far between in the life of a mother.

Why?

Because of the kids, of course.

So, today, I will drop the Crazies off at preschool and come back home for a real shower.

I will check for bugs first...I've had a few spider experiences lately (stupid constantly changing weather).

I will close the door tight.

I will listen to music while I put on my makeup.

I will let my hair air dry a bit before blowing it out.

I will not have to yell, "what is going ON in there?" or "are you guys okay?" even once.

I will not demand that the little people come in a talk to me so that I know "what that really loud noise was."

I will not worry that I'll be that mother in the Emergency Room with sopping wet hair and no makeup because I was careless enough to take a shower while my children were awake.

I will wash and condition my hair.

I will shave my legs (and other things if I so feel the need).

I will use body wash on every part of my body (rather than just throwing it at the most desperate).

I will wash my face.

I will dry off at a leisurely pace.
I will apply lotion.

If I'm not having a Real Shower, inevitably one of these steps gets skipped...it's just the way life works.

Not today though...

Today I get a Real Shower.

And if that's not blogworthy, I don't know what is.


I will NOT be leaving my shirt on like this chick...duh.

I WILL be considering different decorating ideas for my next bathroom...isn't this cute?


I WILL imagine that I am actually showering here...just for a moment.

This guy is definitely NOT invited into my shower...that would just be wrong (but so right at the same time).

This guy can't come either, but he is seriously cute, no?



So, there you have it...my big morning plans.  I should probably be going to the gym and racing around to get ready for tutoring, but instead I'm giving myself a Real Shower.  Can't beat that with a bat...
