Dear Partner,
Welcome back! I trust your day at work was fulfilling. I’m aware that my appearance leaves much to be desired this evening. I genuinely intended to shower today and refresh myself, but alas, it just didn’t occur.
Here are twelve reasons why I found myself unable to take that shower:
- Last night’s disturbances from your snoring and the baby’s cries led to a restless night, causing me to hit the snooze button multiple times—okay, five to be exact—thus missing my chance to shower before the children rose.
- Once awake, the kids were understandably cranky, demanding breakfast, and it seems I’m the only one who knows where the cereal is stored and how to pour milk.
- After the school drop-off, I had to rush to the grocery store. Did you know I’m responsible for snacks for the class party tomorrow? Neither did I, until our daughter handed me a note this morning, which she received over a week ago.
- Upon returning home, I discovered I had no clean yoga pants available. It felt unappealing to put my freshly cleaned self back into worn clothes, so I opted to do laundry instead.
- I planned to use the kids’ nap time for my shower, but the baby had different ideas that didn’t include sleeping or allowing me any quiet time.
- Instead, I thought about exercising while the baby played, reasoning that it would be pointless to shower before I worked up a sweat.
- Unfortunately, my plans were derailed when the dog had an accident before I could even lay out my yoga mat. Cleaning that mess required a makeshift Hazmat suit, a steam cleaner, and a fair bit of frustration (she got into the art supplies again).
- Even though I desperately wanted a shower at that moment, the complexities of Common Core Math (and a particularly upset child) consumed the rest of my afternoon.
- Then came dinner preparations. Everyone needs to eat to maintain energy and avoid chaos. Didn’t I just do this yesterday?
- And let’s not forget, there’s a significant drought affecting the Western United States. So really, I’m conserving water and money by skipping my shower.
- Plus, the messy bun is quite trendy right now. I mean, who wouldn’t find it attractive?
- Lastly, I did manage to freshen up using baby wipes on essential areas, so I’m clean and sweet-smelling—just like a newborn.
Instead of looking at me in disbelief, why don’t you take over with the kids while I enjoy that shower? Though, let’s be honest, a glass of wine and some mindless television are sounding far more enticing right now.
Warm regards,
Your Slightly Disheveled but Still Beautiful Spouse
P.S. I’ll make another attempt tomorrow. I promise!
In summary, the challenges of parenting and unexpected responsibilities can often leave little room for personal care. Whether it’s managing snacks for a school event or dealing with household chaos, it’s understandable that self-care can take a backseat.
