I do all of my really deep thinking in the shower. It's the only place I can really do it. The Children almost never have the chance to bother me, and on the occasions that I shower when they can, I don't get into the in depth stuff.
I take my time and let it get nice and steamy. I pray, contemplate, remember, plan....
I read one Mom's heading to her Blog stating that it's rare to be able to shave and wash her hair in the same shower. Not me. If I want to do both, I can.
But that's because at least 50% of the time when I shower, it is really well planned out and either David is here, or I make SURE the Girls are able to handle themselves.... and of course I plan according to Jacob's naps.
Anyway, because that's where I do my deep thinking, I get really off track sometimes. And will wash my hair several times simply because I remember putting shampoo in my hand.... and then I can't remember what I did next.
But it's also symbolic. My life takes on a Groundhogs Day quality when I make real mistakes, or don't handle a situation right. I often find myself in that same situation several times, depending on how many tries it takes for me to get it right.
