I'm sure I have mentioned before that I love the tub! I really do! It's where I stew over things that irritate me, hide from things that hurt me, reward myself for a job well done, heal the spiritual, pamper the physical, & relax the mental parts of myself. It's my escape. I am pretty sure world peace could be found in the tub. I am convinced world domination was almost brought about because of the tub... Just look at the size of Roman bathhouses!
Anyway, I have spent lots & lots of time in the tub these last two weeks because,
My son wrecked his car
I'm mad at my sister & brother
My husband is feeling picked on
My son is being difficult
Finances are tight AGAIN
School is back in session
& I have not been sleeping well!
To top it all off, I found myself in a fit of temper, in my p.j's with a towel wrapped around my head, out on my front porch SWEARING/VENTING to some of my church members because I was mad at my son, my husband, & my brother and these two just happened to be men! To give them due credit- They took it like MEN! (and then probably offered up a prayer of thanks because they don't have to live with me!)
For all my rage what did I get in return?
A prayer
A text
A phone call
A sunrise
& another bath
So while I don't think the problems are going away any time soon, I can say I feel a little better. After all, if you think about the whole "screaming, towel-turbaned, teary-eyed, shrew" picture it will probably make you smile too.

I am so sorry you are going through more tough times. I would say - you deserve many baths!! On the other hand....you had me laughing so hard that I now have tears in my eyes.
