The Shower

The luxury of a shower. For years now I have never understood when people talked about how once you have children having a shower is nearly impossible and becomes a luxury. Norm and I would often talk about how we just didn't get it. Put the kid down and go take a shower. What's the big deal?

We're assholes.

With Norm being back at work this week I have realized what everyone has been taking about. Lauren is very fussy during the day and seems to do nothing but eat and scream. There is rarely a moment when I'm not holding, rocking, shushing, changing or feeding her. Showers are a thing of the past. One day when she did drift off to sleep, I quickly had to decide what I wanted more - a shower or breakfast. The shower won, but it was certainly not the long leisurely shower I once knew.
