I just noticed something about myself lately. When I lived on my own in my cool, bachelorette, rental-apartment I used to sing in the shower all the time. Even though my bathroom was situated relatively close to the shared hallway I would sing away and not care who heard me. But out of the blue I suddenly realized that I don’t sing in the shower anymore?

It’s most likely because showers have been a get-in/get-out mission for the past 5 years because of the 2 little beasts. I often rush this part of the routine because there are so many bad things that could potentially happen while I’m tucked away in the bathroom and out of earshot of the rest of the household. Also there is always so much to do in the morning that I don’t really have time for a leisurely soak.

But now that the kids are a bit older and more independent, my showers aren’t so rushed anymore. I think it’s time that I kick-start the singing habit again. It’ll be just like old times but instead of neighbours chuckling behind my back my children will be hammering on the door telling me to quit that infernal racket. Ah, everything old is new again!
