Dear Tom,
Welcome home! I trust your day at work was productive. I know I may look a tad disheveled tonight—believe me, I planned to shower and tidy myself up, but life had other ideas.
Here are the first twelve reasons that popped into my head for why I didn’t shower today:
- You were snoring like a chainsaw, and the baby decided that last night was the perfect time for a party. I may have hit snooze five times, which unfortunately meant I missed my chance to shower before the kids woke up.
- As soon as the kids were awake, they transformed into little tornadoes demanding breakfast. Apparently, I’m the only one in the house who knows how to locate the cereal and pour the milk. Who knew?
- After I dropped the kids off at school, I had to dash to the grocery store. Did you know I’m supposed to bring snacks for the class party tomorrow? Yeah, neither did I—until our daughter handed me a note she received over a week ago.
- Once I returned home, I discovered I was out of clean yoga pants. Putting my freshly showered self into my not-so-fresh clothes seemed unsanitary, so I decided to tackle the laundry instead.
- I planned to shower during nap time, but guess what? The baby had different plans that did not include sleeping or any quiet time.
- So I thought, why not exercise while the baby plays? Naturally, there’s no point in showering before working up a sweat!
- But then the dog decided it was a great moment to vomit all over the floor. Cleaning up that mess involved some makeshift Hazmat gear, a steam cleaner, and quite a bit of colorful language. (She mistook art supplies for snacks again.)
- Even though I desperately wanted a shower at that point, Common Core Math and an emotional child consumed the rest of my afternoon.
- And then there was dinner to prepare. After all, we all need to eat to avoid becoming hangry monsters, right? Didn’t I just do this yesterday?
- Plus, have you seen the drought situation in the Western United States? So really, I’m just being environmentally conscious—and saving money.
- The messy bun is all the rage, right? Come on, tell me I look fabulous in this look!
- Besides, I managed to freshen up with baby wipes on my, um, less-than-fresh areas, so I smell just like a newborn.
So instead of grimacing at my appearance, why not take charge of the kids while I indulge in that shower? Although, let’s be honest—a glass of wine and some mindless television sound way more enticing right now.
Yours truly, Your Slightly-Disheveled but Still Beautiful Wife
P.S. I promise to try again tomorrow!
