me hulk

So I guess I really don't know the extent of my own strength...Showering this morning, I literally ripped my shower head off the pipe-y thing that sticks out of the wall. How did this amazing feat of strength occur, you wonder? No, I hadn't been dead lifting the children prior... This was mere moments after staggering out of bed and into the stall, bleary-eyed and slightly disoriented. I reached up to redirect the bountiful spray provided by my 2-in-1 rain/hand held, and suddenly, the entire unit snapped free of the pipe and was hurtling toward my face. I narrowly averted disaster with some slick ninja in the shower moves, and the offending device clattered to the floor.

Somewhat bewildered, I scrambled to turn off the gush that sprang from the broken spigot. I stood for a moment, covered in body wash and conditioner, pink, plastic razor hanging limply in my hand.

In my immediate future, a trip to the Home Depot and the shower head aisle.

birthday

The last day of March marked the day of Mitchell's birth. He would have been 43. The day came and went as most others. It is remarkable to me that it was so ordinary.
