I See Your Legs Are Shaved. Your House Must Be Filthy

B.B. (otherwise known as the Before Baby era), I heard of this trend of new mothers not even having time to shower. OK, seriously. What's with that? Is it so hard to stick the kid in its crib and jump in for 6 minutes of personal grooming time? How can these people even manage their own lives if they can't even find the time to schedule in a shower? Please. I mean, back in the B.B. era, I used to manage staff, sell product, overcome looming deadlines for stacks of paperwork, work with customers, and the list goes on. I looked forward to the days of staying at home when my biggest challenge was fitting in the time for a shower.

Well, the truth is, that once your baby goes down for a sleep, the STOPWATCH BEGINS TO TICK, AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP. So if you choose to prep lunch, take out the garbage, sweep the floor, empty the dishwasher, switch the laundry over, or SLEEP, then you may not get that 6 minutes of hot water-induced solace. It's not that there's no time for a shower. It's just that there isn't enough time to do everything.

Enjoy your baby shower. It may be the last shower you get for a while.
