I feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright. And I pity any girl who isn't me tonight.
I put the kids in bed. The baby fell asleep early. Nothing good on the telly. Laundry folded & put away. Then I glanced in the mirror. I wasn't happy about the scraggly thing looking back. My hair was falling out of a half hazard pony tail. My teeth were in serious need of a brushing (ugh). My legs were fuzzy as were my eye brows. I was still wearing the same sweat pants & t-shirt I put on out of the shower yesterday at 10 am. My nail polish was about 3 weeks old & chipped with in an inch of it's life.
So I grabbed the baby's lavender baby wash, the baking soda, & shut myself in the bathroom. 45 minutes later (yes, you read that right...I got a full 45 uninterrupted minutes) I emerged. Nail polish off, legs shaved, skin exfoliated (with the baking soda), clean, relaxed, brushed teeth, & feeling not only human again, but also female again.

Good for you!!!
When Bear was little, I made time for a Bubble Bath during one of her naps at least a couple of times a week. Not so easy with more kids running around the house, so I am glad you were able to have some time to relax for yourself.
And so the myth of the Stepford wife continues!
if i only got 45 mins to myself daily, i'd be homicidal.
dunno about feelin like a lady but after roughin it for close to the last decade, i sure can appreciate the feeling of a good shower.
george clinton's funk ain't got nothin on me after 6 days in the desert with no water.
:)
i can't even comprehend 2 kids running around much less 4.
much respect!
45 minutes?!?! Did you drug them? ;) OK, just kidding...I know you wouldn't do that unless you were really really really desperate.
