Crossing the Line

Okay so I promised the trip recap, but I don't have time right now.  But it took me a lot of effort to get my butt downstairs, find the secret password to Jeff's new computer and get on blogger so I thought I'd share a tidbit to tide you over til tomorrow. 

I think it is safe to say there are lines we just wont allow ourselves to cross for one reason or another.  My mom wont go anywhere without makeup on.  I have a friend who refuses to wear flip flops.  Well I really want to cross one of my lines.  I really want to buy a shower chair.  Like a medical, sick person, I cant stand on my own in the shower chair.  A little background as to what has gotten me to this pathetic point. 

1.  being the youngest of three girls often living with one bathroom, I always had to shower at night.  I found this to also be convenient with roommates that by the time I got married it was habit.  I like showering at night.  It is a nice way to relax from the day, and the bed seems extra nice sliding into it all clean, (and since moving to a more humid climate going to bed with wet hair really only helps it curl.) 

2.  Our current house has three bathrooms but none of them will work for taking a straight up bath.  All three have tubs, but each has a problem.  The master bath is a huge cast iron whirlpool that doesn't work, so I cant clean out the pipes.  That creeps me out enough just showering in it, I can't imagine filling it all the way up.  The other two tubs are small and positioned in the bathroom so that the far end of the tub, (the side where my head would go,)  is right next to the toilet.  RIGHT NEXT TO IT.  So no relaxing baths for me.

3.  The older I get, and more children I have, the more tired I am at the end of the day.  I still like showering at night, but now some days I find it hard to stand up. 

But can I really get myself a shower chair?  Is that just too pathetic?  Is it straight from there to the wheelie carts at Walmart?
