Loving my enemies


I know that I need to be thankful for how blessed I am. However, there are a few silly things about life that are my arch enemies, and I decided to share those with my blog. But really, even these silly things I should be thankful for because they are privileges that not everybody gets to do or experience. Still, I don't enjoy them.

I hate going to the bathroom. This is especially true if I'm in the middle of something important, really relaxed, sleeping, or in a public place. No fun. I think it's a waste of time. However, God did think of everything didn't he? We need a way to get rid of the stuff we put in. I'm not sure I would have covered that detail.

I hate my bedtime ritual. Rob always tries to get me to skip it and just go to sleep when we're super tired. But, I can't. I've always done all of it, and I just wouldn't feel "ready." I have to wash my face, brush my teeth, floss, and go to the bathroom (we already know how fun I think that is). If I take a shower too, it all lasts an eternity. The worst part of all of that -- brushing my teeth.

I hate taking showers. Rob is different. He'll get in the shower and get stuck because he loves it so much. I have to remind him to finish. Me, it's a battle to get me in there, I manage my way through it, and it just takes so long.

(Wow, I guess these all involve hygiene).

I'm glad you go to the bathroom. I don't think I'd want to hang out with you if you never did.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I for one am very glad that despite your distaste for taking care of your hygenic chores you do them faithfully anyway. The world is a nicer place because you do.

P.S. Try getting into the shower with Rob, it might change your attitude about showers ; )

I totally get the bathroom thing. It makes me crazy that we HAVE to go. I put it off as long as I can. I also have a bedtime ritual that sounds exactly like yours. Sometimes I ask Mike if he will wash my face and brush my teeth for me but it hasn't worked yet.
