Just one moment

You realize all of a sudden that your house is quiet......Your husband is off watching a football game, your child is off playing a game..... In the beginning you would have told your husband what you are going to do but not anymore.

You sneak off to the bathroom and lock the door. You begin to get all your "special stuff" out. The special conditioner that needs to soak into your hair for 10 minutes, the razor, the special bodywash, the face mask stuff. You put everything in the shower. You stop. Still no knocks, no whines, just quiet.

You start the shower. You make sure everything is in there that you want. You stop again just to make sure. Nothing. Sweet! You get in the shower, turn the water as hot as you can get it and start your process. Aahhh, this is relaxing.

Then it happens.......a knock.......I am ingoring it........more knocking.....Where is his father?..........pounding.....I am taking a shower!! Go find daddy!.......silence.......He is gone now back to the shower......MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

GO TO YOUR DAD!!

I WANT YOU MMMMMMOOOOMMMMMY!!

Dammit it all! So you open the door, water getting everywhere, your face mask in your eyes, swearing to yourself and his father.

I just wanted to check on you.

I am okay, just go talk with daddy. I will be right out. Let mommy finish her shower. Then you can have one.

So you rinse your hair then your face. So at least those two things are done as he is still talking outside the shower curtain....

The moment is over why bother with the rest as you soap yourself up. You then tell your child oh mommy is going out tomorrow night but you are going to stay with daddy.

What will we do? the child asks.

Oh, you and daddy will have fun.

Mommy when you come home from being out you need to make us dinner. Then do the laundry, get me and daddy games. Then you can do whatever else.

GET OUT!!!

For those of you without the litte darlings take your time in the shower, enjoy each soapy moment for as soon as you have a child those showers are a few and far between.
