Yes, but NOT at 3 am

First, let me just say that I'm all about good hygiene. My two "must do's" before crawling into bed are, showering and brushing my teeth....ALWAYS!

Several weeks ago I started this horrendous water drinking regimen. It's not that I'm opposed to drinking water, I don't mind it at all. It's the never ending trips to the bathroom that are killing me. (I need a bladder stretching exercise) It's an endless race, one that my kids find great humor in.

I do however, make an effort to stop drinking after 4 pm. I'm not at all about night trips, though is does happen. It's nearing the three o'clock hour and I have to go, there is no holding it. I get up and stagger across the room to our bathroom. I thinking, "ah, relief is just steps away." I never turn on the light, (just something I think is a perk about being a girl....no aiming required) I sit and SPLASH! For crying out LOUD. That's right I'm in. I haul my butt out of the bowl, NOW with the light on. I was not at all prepared for a full coolie detailing at 3 am....I had to wash, buff and dust. I swear, I just wanted to pee. Wash my hands, YES..my ass, NO!

I get myself together and get back into bed, thank goodness. In the morning I asked Honey, "Did you NOT hear a near drowning in the bathroom last night?" He laughed like some kinda freak because he knew exactly what I was talking about.

The thing is....he's TRAINED. He never, ever does that. In all the years I can't remember one time, so imagine my surprise. I guess him getting up in a state of semi-consciousness can cause certain things to happen. My son...a completely different story. He's still in training.
