my back hurts

i'm not complaining

just explaining.

i hurt my back last week.

it was feeling better

but i woke up this morning

and it was tender again

so... i thought the perfect ending for today

would be a nice hot bubble bath.

so i start the hot water,

shoo out the kids,

add the bubbles,

slip in, grab my book

and begin relaxing.

that is where the relaxing bubble bath ended.

the kids needed to be reminded to leave the bathroom twice

then someone needed to poop.

so... i lay in my nice bubble bath

smelling the mixture of lavender and poop!!

then one little girl makes her way in

leaning over, splashing

and enjoying all the bubbles

another little person makes their way in

leaning over the water talking the entire time

ab's realizes that if she could just climb in

she would have complete access to milk

and after i tell her not now,

she stops trying to climb in

she decides to lean over with her mouth wide open,

smiling with this determined look on her face.

thankfully i caught her before she fell in

but it was at this moment

i realized

this is motherhood

and i wouldn't change a thing.

although all i wanted was a nice relaxing

15 minutes of 'me' time

i received an audience,

abundance of non stop talking,

splashing and an unpleasant aroma...

i felt very blessed to have such a wonderful family!!

and a family that feels so comfortable to remind me of this

while i'm naked in the tub, lol

here are my beautiful children

enjoying my mother's day bath.
