So, I thought on this SUNNY day in June, I would re-post one of my RANTS from winter. Enjoy!
SNOW DAY! No school!
I hop out of bed before my husband leaves for work to guarantee a shower.
Three kids home makes for not so much Me-time! And I didn't shower yesterday so I REALLY needed one today!
No sooner am I in and I glance down to find a huge bug on the floor of the shower. HUGE.
I think it was a stink bug. Anyway, I am one of those pacifists that probably gets on your nerves b/c I DON'T kill bugs. We (insert quiet first-grade-teacher-voice here) secure them in a soft covering (aka toilet paper) and set them free out the front door.
So, I say, "Ew, there's a bug in here. Did you know that?" to my husband who just got out but I am not the least bit freaked out - I'm happy to share...maybe he was thirsty.
Hot water, no screaming kids and a massage for my head with my new, yummy-smelling shampoo and I forget all about Mr. Stink on the floor until...
CRUNCH!
Yep...I turned to wash the shampoo off my face and when I put my right foot back down I squashed him flat! FLAT! I felt the crunch vibrate all the way up to my knee!
Now, I truly don't mind bugs...at all...unless they are the size of an armadillo and stuck to the bottom of my foot!
I started to wail! WAIL, I tell you!
"YOOOOWWWWWWWWWW! I STEPPED ON IT! I STEPPED ON IT! GET IT OUT OF HERE!"
"IS NO ONE LISTENING? GET IT OUT! THE BUG! I STEPPED ON IT!"
On most occasions, someone's life falls apart as soon as I am in the shower and before I know it, they are ALL staring through the steamed glass door and throwing questions at me left and right.
But, not today! Today there is NO ONE coming in! Today when I have 6 pounds of shampoo foam all over my face and I can't wipe it off or open my eyes because I am holding onto the rail of the tub because I have bug guts on my foot and I don't know where he flew when I shook his dead butt off my foot! NO ONE!
Finally, my husband came to my rescue...albeit, laughing his pants off! I rinse off and step out only to find 3/5 of my family right outside the door in my room watching like I was Cirque de Soleil!
NAKED Cirque de Soleil!
Happy Snow Day! It can only get better from here right?
Until I catch my 4 yr old at the top of our staircase on a skateboard! That's a whole other story!
Peace.

I would have done exactly the same thing, lol. But I DO mind sharing my shower with a bug... so I would have yelped a bit before I stepped on him!
Hope all is well with your 4 yr old - minus the skateboard, lol.
Yuck, its better to step on them with shoes on.
