What Are Your Personal Shower Rituals?

[cmdtrgd]

Hehehe...I will have my par-o-dee

I like to lather, rinse and not repeat. I'm into short showers - you?:blushing:

:sing: Singing is an option, too.

I saw your title and immediately thought...scrub, shave, lather, rinse and condition...

My SIL brushes her teeth there...

My DD and DS play...

...and if DH joins me, well I can't say in public...

 

[Debala715]

Turn on water to lukewarm (can't stand a hot shower), shampoo, rinse, condition, wash body, shave, rinse conditioner out of hair, turn off water, wrap hair in towel, exit the shower, wrap body in towel.

I also brush my teeth in the shower. It gives me a reason to stand under the warm/hot water in the morning until my brush tells me I'm done brushing.

This is too funny!!

I take LONG HOT showers (when I can with a 3yo). I get in, make it as hot as I can stand it, stand under the water till I'm warm, shampoo, rinse, repeat if needed, soap, then shave if needed, rinse and stand until I"m ready to get out and lather some lotion on my rough, dry winter skin. And I'm with Janet up there; no telling when hubby joins me...

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I :love: Love:love: long hot showers....and so does DH!

 

[fruit76loop]

hmmmm...Questions that make you go hmmmm.....

I jump in as fast as I can, shampoo, rinse, soap, conditioner, shave, rinse, face, rinse...jump out as fast as I can to hear if my kids are breaking out of the house!!!

Now, when my DH is home I stand in the hot water and repeat all of those steps in slow motion....and our shower isn't big enough to share...so I get some real mommy alone time! :love: Worth millions isn't it? No screaming kids knocking on the door, no kids trying to get in the shower with their clothes on....

I bet he does! :blushing:

My days of long showers are over. My son just learned how to climb out of the pack n play (he's 20 months old). I had been putting him in there before I got my shower to keep him out of everything. Well today, he woke up early from a nap and I had all my pc paperwork strawn about so I put him in there for a few minutes with a snack cup and milk, and that little stinker climbed out, twice!!! Right in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes. I just fell in the floor and started laughing and crying. (doesn't take much for me to sob)

There are probably some uber-mommies who will growl at this D ) but I used to strap DS into his highchair with a snack and a sippy cup, and put him in front of the TV with a Baby Einstein dvd......for several months that was how I was able to take a 15 minute shower! :thumbup:

 

[JAE]

I just want to get out of the shower, dry off and get warm. I'm always freezing, even in the summer because of the air conditioning.
When my first ds started moving around I put the gate in the doorway of his baby proof room so I could shower. I used to have a big plastic "play pen" thing. I would put it together and have him play in there. He cried everytime I put him in it, but when I walked away he'd stop. I can't remember what it was like when I had two (19 1/2 months apart). It's all a blur!

I love long hot showers. I turn on the water to the warmest that I can stand it and keep turning it up as the water cools until there is no more hot water and I'm forced to get out. If I'm done with my shower before the hot water runs out, I'll turn it up real quick and get all nice and warm. I like to turn the bathroom into a suana but our bathroom now doesn't do it as well as bathrooms I used to have, it just gets a little foggy and not very warm. DH likes the throw his towels into the dryer before he hops in. Too far away from the shower for me, I like to cover up real quick! I am also a big fan of long hot baths but our bath tub is really little so I haven't had a bath in a few years now.

We have this wonderful, 2 person corner jacuzzi tub.....but it is now full of little boy bath toys. Haven't had a bath in it in 3 years!:cry:

My SIL has a huge jacuzzi tube in the house they've been in for 5 years, she said she's never even had a chance to use it. You'd bet if I had kids (none yet), I'd be looking the door and not caring for about 30 minutes!
