How many of you have showered or bathed today?

Seeing as the board has been depressed a lot lately especially those who are experiencing the holiday crunch....how many of you showered, dressed, bathed, or put on deodorant, brushed your teeth, or combed your hair. I am sick and I did. Just curious a poll if you will.

I didn't shower last night but that's because I knew I was going to shovel snow this morning. Kinda defeats the purpose when I'm just gonna get all sweaty in a few hours. Just brushed my teeth a few mins ago and it's 2 pm, LOL, that one was a struggle I'll admit.

Took a long shower last night - I usually don't wash my hair every night because I have what most people would call "Chaka Khan" hair -the more I wash it, the curlier and bigger my hair becomes. But I do take my showers every day even when I'm so depressed I feel like "What's the use?" And sometimes that's a struggle because I get home from work and just want to sleep. Man, I am just a barrel of fun, aren't I?

I made it into the shower today. I had to get things to bake my cookies with and I hadn't showered in a couple of days. I didn't want to knock anyone over with my stench.

Yes. I did and more.

Fortunately I in a good phase. However, I do understand and empathise with who are unable to do so. I've been there...

Every day that I wake up feeling "normal" fills me with gratitude.

I showered, but I desperately needed it. I had been showering without washing my hair and my hair got oily. I HATE wet hair in the winter! UGH! Plus I have curly hair so hair dryer is out. So now I've got a wet towel on my head waiting for my hair to dry some so it doesn't wet the back of my shirt...

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
