Mom's Bath Time-- finally!

When my 3 kids were young, with our hectic school and sports schedules, it was sometimes difficult to find a quiet moment to myself to just relax and unwind.  I would yearn for a few quiet moments to myself.  Just a quiet luxurious bubble bath, maybe a glass of wine and soft music and even candles!

So now that my 3 are grown, 24, 26 and 28, they are extremely independent, and I find that I now have much more available "me" time.  Isn't it funny that now I am yearning for those hectic sports schedule days and following my kiddoes around?  I do miss those days at the park and afterwards having lunch/dinner together and hashing out the days events.

Here's a poem I wrote when they were little, and I yearned for a few quiet moments to myself:

Ode to Mom’s Bath Time

Oh, a bath –
Sweet, luxurious bath.
The pleasure is all mine.

Lock the door, turn down the lights,
Enjoy some quiet time.

Lay your head back, prop your feet up,
and maybe a sip of wine.

But just when you do, inevitably it’s true—
The whole house is looking for you!!

Mom, he hit me!  Mom, can you take us to the movies?  Where's Mom?
