My Little Oasis


In the past, I have, on occasion, heard mothers talk about their only alone time being in the shower. And I always thought to myself that it was a bit of an exaggeration. I would think that there are times they can pass the kids on to the dad or babysitter. Or there are even times they could sit the kids in front of the TV while they sit and read a book or something. I just did not ever believe that their ONLY alone time could possibly be the few minutes they spend in the shower.
Well ladies and gentleman, I now understand. (I feel like I've been saying that a lot the last few months.)
When I step into the shower and close that shower curtain, it's as if I'm stepping into a little oasis away from my daily responsibilities - the baby, work, the house, etc.
Oh how I relish those few minutes each day.

Ah, yes. So true. Ecxept now I feel like I'm trying to set the world record for taking the fastest shower possible. Both kids are up by 6am, so I'm trying to do it while they're both awake! Very dangerous leaving a 5 month old alone with a 3 year old running around like a maniac!!!
