At last...a shower!

Today, 2:00 Ben has been asleep since 12:30 but Sarah, sleep? Nah. (It seems as though they know sometimes I need a shower or time to myself and they have a way of working together to sabotage.)
Here's proof:
I finally get in the shower @ 2:30 after Sarah is asleep. It's gotta be quick but not too quick, I haven't showered in two days.
How nice it was.
I'm drying off and I hear a cry in the distance. Could that be Sarah? She's been asleep for 15 minutes. Not sure. Continue drying off...could that be Ben laughing?...Sarah crying...Ben laughing? Ah man!!!
I open the door to the bathroom and see Ben jump/running out of Sarah's room with t ball pole in hand.
me: "Ben, why is Sarah crying?"
Ben: "I poked her eye and she's crying."
Lovely!
Nice shower.

Becca, I love all of your stories because I can relate so well! It's nice to know things like this happen to other people and not just me!

It reminds me of the time one summer at Oakcrest when the three of us in the directorship decided to shower at the same time because everyone was gone on the overnighter. Then it started to rain and thunder and lightning. Very nervous counselors called and we had to go to work. It's good to know that experience has given me a glimpse at being a mom. Keep up the good work, my friend!

Oh do I understand how you feel, but I only have one! Check out my blog "Pretty" and see what Emma did while I was in the shower last month...and there is always something. Finding the plunger, getting the dishwasher tablets out of the "child proof" cabinet. :) Love it!
