a wonderful thing happened today...

Ok, just wanted to share this with people who would appreciate it, lol. So this morning, Eleanor had a nice long nap, and while she was napping, I TOOK A SHOWER!! a long, hot shower! and SHAVED MY LEGS!! I have to admit, it wasn't very private, since DS2 invited himself and his trucks in the bathroom (and we have a glass shower). However, I got to stand in the shower and steam away for as long as I wanted, and I didn't have to worry about what DS was doing or hear Eleanor crying.

Ahhhh, A long shower can be a beautiful thing these days!
For me, it's washing and conditioning my hair.
Twice, I've had to get out 1/2 done and continue later in the day or another day.

Whoa, you shaved your legs?!? lol I considered it today, but DD's had a fussy one and I didn't want to get stopped halfway through, so I skipped it.

[gardenmommy]

Yes, I did! It was heavenly to stand in the shower that long. All my showers for the last 4 almost 5 weeks have been get in and out ASAP. I timed it just right today, apparently, because I not only had a shower and shaved, I had time to fix my hair, too! I felt like a new woman.

I'm sure you feel like a new woman! I've never had any trouble showering because our bathroom has a loud fan and DS conks out as soon as I put him in his vibrating bouncy seat and turn the fan on. Even with DD singing loudly, dropping things and bumping into him occasionally, he doesn't stir

oh man, I haven't taken a shower in a couple days.
I'm plotting how I'll fit one in once DH gets home tonight

I did, however, have my own exhilarating moment of freedom last night. DH came home and I handed off Ruben and took the trash to the dump all by myself. It was ~30minutes of total alone time. It was pretty much awesome and I've decided that the dump run now belongs exclusively to me.

LOL!! This totally cracked me up this morning!

God I love you guys. LOL
I had the doula over just so I could shower once after DH left. Other times I snuck out of bed to shower.. to have him wake up while I was halfway done..

Now that I'm back to work I can shower here even though the facilities aren't fantastic and my blow dryer walked away.. At least I'm not the smelly kid! hahaha.
