As moms, you might agree or not but, I've found that we give so much attention to our little ones needs, desires and wants. Sometimes their needs are so many with such frequency that sometimes, just sometimes, my own needs can be overshadowed by theirs. This week I had one of those moments that I hope to never forget.
It happened when my husband came home from work and started playing with the kiddos downstairs. I though for sure that this was the perfect moment to jump in the shower and take care of some those things we tend to over look: okay shaving.LOL. Now I don't know if I should be telling this but if you can laugh with me and laugh at the situation and just plain old laugh, it will be all worth it.
So I snuck away, but not a few moments later one of my kiddos found me out. He rushed into the bathroom, good thing our shower curtain is thick, and tells me of his desperate need for a shower. I tried to reason with him but he wasn't budging. "You can have one when I am done. Now go out and wait, please." I hope I said please but if I didn't, I meant too. LOL. Anyway, so I finished up in more of a rush then an enjoyable venture, knowing that now a line waiting to use this facility. I don't like to have a line waiting for me.
So I did what I did and got out. He quickly jumped in and enjoyed his time.
So what's the funny part? Well, nothing seemed funny at that time, it didn't come till later. Later, much later, and I emphasis much later, we all went out for a bit to eat. It was when my son sat on my lap and put his hand on my leg, "mom this is rough." Rough? Wait, I shaved in the shower so what's rough about that. OKAY GET READY TO LAUGH.
I had rushed so fast to let that guy get into the shower that I completely forgot to shave one of my legs. So all day long I had one sooth and one "rough" leg.
I tell you, putting kiddos first sometimes can be dangerous for your hygiene, so watch out moms.
WHERE DID MY MIND GO? I know, to the needs of my children. Sometimes, putting them first leaves us a little scrambled but God worked it out in the end.
Honestly, I just laughed. Later I was able to enjoy my shower a long shower, a very long shower that I was able to use the all the hot water I wanted and it came "when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse".
Timing oh Timing is key.
