How Do You Do It?

I have heard several people mention relaxing in a bath lately. How is that relaxing? I hate cleaning the shower more than the toilets. But I do so often, just because it gets so gross. I have to clean the shower before I can sit in a bath; hence, negating any relaxing qualities. The shower is where all the dirt and yuckiness is washed away, and you know it's sticking to the bottom of your tub. Can you seriously sit in that and feel relaxed? Or even remotely clean at the end of it?

The only peace I've ever really felt in the tub was at the end of my pregnancy when I was itching like crazy. I would sit in a tub full of oatmeal and baking soda and it marginally helped with the insanity. But that was super gross and I felt like I was making cookies out of myself. It's all a disgusting concept, try not to dwell on it.

I think I'll just stick with snuggling in bed with a book. And those bottles of bubble bath I've had for years, will just have to last a few years longer.

It's true. That's why when I win $1,000,000 on Deal or No Deal I am going to get a nice jaccuzi tub that cleans itself! I think it could be relaxing then.

how long do you two wait to take a shower? There really shouldn't be that much dirt or yuckiness.. Far less than the sheets you rub your sweaty smelly self in for 8 hours a night. Try just showering every day, well with a baby every other is probably more realistic. You really still shouldn't be that dirty. you are an adult and it is no longer the pioneer era. :)
