    My Favorite Place

    I was thinking today about my favorite place (within my house anyway)..... and as insignifigant as it seems I think it must be our shower. For some reason the shower has always been the only place I feel truly alone with my thoughts. Growing up as the oldest of three kids, with a large age gap between myself and my brother and sister (I am 8 years older than Bethany, and 10 years older than Jonathan) there was always chaos and lots of noise in the house. Even my bedroom wasn't safe from the ruckus lol, they would pound on my door and yell for me until I let them in. (Dad- was it any wonder I took 45 minute showers?)Anyway even now, in my own house with much less noise and much more peace (sorry Jon & Beth) I still love long, hot showers. I love to get in there, crank up the heat, and let the water wash away the stress (not to mention the aches & pains) of the day. Sometimes caring for a 2 year old 24/7, with a husband that works long hours, the shower is my only escape & I thank God for it. I know my fellow moms agree that shower therapy is often just what the doctor ordered- granted a week long getaway to a different locale and some time alone with our husbands in a cushy hotel suite would be really nice, but we'll take what we can get! Hope you all have a great day!

    Even with an empty house, the tub is still my favorite spot, especially when the weather gets colder. When I come home after 10 hours at work, it's the first place I go...not because I'm dirty...but because it's the only place that I can enjoy being up to my neck in hot water.

    glad to see you posting again. I was worried that we scared you off. My life is CRAZY right now and I love to get a shower. However I have to make mine pretty quick becasue one or both of the boys need me shortly after I get out. And when I take the chance to get in while my husband is home to watch them it seems like something ALWAYS goes amuck!

    Hi again! Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. You never think something like that could happen in your family, but it can. I know that sounds cliched, but it's really true.

    I was looking over your favorite websites, I love KLOVE. Really great station!

    I'm going tonight and try to get some more shopping done. Take care!
