Hey there, my wonderful partner!
Welcome back home! I hope your day at work was fantastic. I know, I know—I’m looking a bit rough around the edges tonight (again). I genuinely planned to shower today and spruce myself up, but alas, life had other ideas.
There are countless reasons I didn’t manage to shower, but here are the top twelve that come to mind:
- Your delightful snoring and the little one’s cries kept me up all night, so I may have hit the snooze button a few too many times—okay, five times to be exact. That meant I completely missed my chance to shower before the kids woke up.
- Once they were up, it turned into a breakfast frenzy. Apparently, I’m the only one who knows where the cereal is hidden and how to pour milk—funny how that works.
- After I dropped the kids off at school, I had to swing by the grocery store. Did I mention I’m in charge of snacks for the class party tomorrow? Neither did I—until our daughter handed me a note she received over a week ago. Oops!
- Once I got home, I discovered I didn’t have any clean yoga pants. It felt a bit gross to put my freshly scrubbed body back into my not-so-fresh clothes, so laundry became my new priority.
- I promised myself I’d shower during nap time, but the baby had different plans that definitely didn’t include napping or giving me a moment of peace.
- So, I thought I’d exercise while the baby played. I mean, what’s the point of showering before working up a sweat, right?
- Just as I was about to roll out my yoga mat, the dog decided to have a little incident on the floor. Cleaning that mess required a makeshift Hazmat suit, a steam cleaner, and a healthy dose of colorful language. (She got into the art supplies again!)
- Even though I was desperate for a shower at that point, Common Core Math homework (and a very upset child) took over the rest of my afternoon.
- Then it was time to whip up dinner because, you know, we all need to eat and not turn into grumpy monsters. Didn’t I just do this yesterday?
- But here’s a thought: there’s a significant drought happening across the Western U.S. So really, I’m just being environmentally friendly. Saving water and money—win-win!
- Plus, the messy bun is totally in vogue, right? You know I’m rocking this look!
- And hey, I made sure to freshen up the smelly parts with some baby wipes, so I’m clean and sweet-smelling—just like a newborn!
Instead of giving me that horrified look, how about you take charge of the kids? I’d love to sneak in a shower right now, which, let’s be honest, I might skip in favor of a glass of wine and some mindless TV.
Love, Your Beautifully Disheveled Wife
P.S. I’ll try again tomorrow—promise!
