Yesterday and today, so I feel like, really, I've earned some sort of break. I think that it is taking the form of not showering since it has been 3 days, and I can't force myself to do it. I thought about it for a long time - why is it so hard to shower? What part of it is so insurmountable? I can't figure it out.
I have typed, like, three different sentences and deleted them because I was so uninterested in what I was saying. Which was nothing. I was saying nothing. My mind is empty. I guess that means I should nap now. Gabe loves it when I nap on the couch while he watches cartoons, do not ask me why, so I'll count it as good parenting. Plus, I am going to have to go get milk and bread today, and the store always sucks up all my energy. Two birds, one stone, naps are great.

Have you tried taking a nap in the bathtub? It can be restful, and the end result is cleanliness. Sometimes works when taking a shower is too overwhelming & standy-upy. I love you, Jen. So much.

I am with you Jennifer! Showering zaps my energy and grocery shopping - I have only done that once since, goodness, a few months before Bianca was born!! haha. Brian has been doing it so we haven't been totally foodless, although its never as foodful as when I do it. BUt i hate it! I want the groceries delivered to my house! I like to go and browse but I don't want to actively shop. And the shower thing I can't figure out either. I love it when I am showered and complain that I don't get to shower enough because of the baby but then when Brian is here I still don't do it! Its dumb, I know. Anyway, hope you have a nice nap! I'm sure I will complain about wanting one and then not take it today.
You look pretty good for not showering for 3 days!
Jen, I also HATE showering and I HATE going to the store. For some reason, David loves to go to the store, but every time I go with him, I hurt myself. I'm not joking. One time, I dropped a package of cherry tomatoes and it opened up and cherry tomatoes were suddenly all over the produce section's tile floor. Another time, I bent down to get toilet paper from a bottom shelf and hit my face on the shelf just above it--who gets bloody lips at the grocery store? I do, apparently.
I HATE the store. And Texas stores have humongous shopping carts, so if you have three people and three carts in one aisle, you're all screwed. David and I got stuck in front of the meat section once, with cart pile-ups on all sides. I started to sweat and moan, and David had to pet my hair until we were able to move again two minutes later.
Showers and supermarkets...sheesh.
I want to tell you three ladies that I LOVE YOU! So much!
