There’s nothing like a cold shower on Sunday morning to get you right with God!!

I was getting ready to take a shower this morning, when Laura got up and said she wanted to take a bath but would wait until I got done.  I told her to go ahead, thinking the really good water heater that we had bought several years ago would keep up with the demand.  I was wrong!!!

The cold water helped me clear my head and reminded me of a recent battle that was going on between me and the three younger crew members a few weeks ago.  Let me start by saying “I am not set in my ways!”

The Great Shower Head Wars

For a long time, I have been the only one in the house that preferred a shower over a bath.  This worked out great for me because I had complete control over the small downstairs shower.  I had purchased and installed a very nice shower head that allowed several different settings and angles.  I, of course, set everything to my favorites and left it that way (I am NOT set in my ways!!).

Recently, all three of the younger crew members have taken a liking to showers, as well.  Suddenly, I am having to share my shower head and my settings with some one else.  Apparently, none of them liked my preferred settings and would change them to satisfy their particular needs.  This would have been okay, had they put the settings back the way they found them. (I AM NOT set in my ways!!)

The Great Shower Head Wars were on!  Every morning, I would get into the shower and realize that the settings needed to be changed.  This went on for weeks.  Sometimes, I would get in the shower and the spray would be going to the wall, sometimes to the shower curtain.  One time it was even facing the ceiling. (I still haven’t figured that one out)

Finally, they seemed to settle in to their favorite settings, but it still wasn’t the ones I wanted! (I AM NOT SET IN MY WAYS!!!)

So every morning I continued to reset the shower head setting back to the way I wanted them and decided we were just going to have to live with this constant back and forth.

One morning, I overslept and had to get ready in a flash.  I didn’t have time to change all the settings so I just went with it.  By the end of the shower, I decided that these setting weren’t bad after all! (See I told you I wasn’t set in my ways!)  I left the settings as they were thinking The Great Shower Head Wars had finally come to a peaceful end.  Now we could work out the details of my surrender and get on with our lives.

I got in the shower the next morning to find all of the setting were back to the way I use to like them!!  So… I reset them to my new preferred settings! (I am not set in my ways!!!!)
