My kids woke up extra early this morning and they got really interested in the movie Spy Kids so I thought I would slip into my bathroom and take a nice bath before the movie ended. As soon as they heard the water turn on they both filed into the bathroom thinking it was bathtime for them. I kind of held my breath and told them that I was taking a bath and they were good since they took one last night before bed.
Normally when I take a bath I have a few choices:
A.) Lock the door and try to take a bath in peace but it always just causes my children to get upset, they will turn the door knob constantly while demanding over and over for me to let them in. I only do this when Jamey is home and can attempt to keep them occupied but they turn on their mommy location device and it is all over. Even if they are outside playing and having a great time they can sense that I am trying to take a nice long hot bath and in the house they come!!!
B.) Leave the door unlocked and have them both charge in sit on the step of the tub, talk to me the whole time, throw bathtub toys at me and if I am lucky Riley will strip down and hop in with me which makes it kind of difficult to shave my legs which is the whole reason I am taking a bath in the first place.
C.) Take a bath late at night when they are good and asleep and then go to bed with my hair wet which makes it look really "nice" the next day. (I hate blow drying my hair after a hot bath because it makes me hotter and I hate to be hot after I get out and am all clean....I am weird.)
Ahhhh but today my sweet baby girl came to my rescue!!! After I told them I was taking a bath Riley opened the cabinet handed me a towel and a wash cloth and told Samuel to follow her to the living room because I wanted to be alone. After she said that they marched out like little ants and closed the door behind them. I locked the door and slipped in the bathtub for a few minutes of relaxation!!!!!
I not only had time for a bath but I also got to give myself a pedicure!!!! I could get used to a Saturday morning like this!!!! It was my own little 45 minute vacation in my bathroom.
It doesn't take much people....REALLY!!!!!
