My Mama Made Me Do It (well she tried anyway)...


Check out my shower door.  (Excuse me, OUR shower door...)  i took the photo from inside the shower so y'all could see that, YES, it opens in AND out!!!!  i am oh-so-proud of our bathroom.  You can see a little reflection of it on the door.

Do not worry.  This is not a blog about a shower door.  Well, maybe it is.  It is really a blog about my new friend, the squeegee.

Dictionary.com defines "squeegee" as:

squee·gee

skwee-jee, skwee-jee]  Show IPA noun, verb, squee·geed, squee·gee·ing.
noun
1.
an implement edged with rubber or the like, for removing water from windows after washing,sweeping water from wet decks, etc.
2.
a similar and smaller device, as for removing excess water from photographic negatives or prints orfor forcing paint, ink, etc., through a porous surface, as in serigraphy.
verb (used with object)
3.
to sweep, scrape, or press with or as if with a squeegee.
4.
to force (paint, ink, etc.) through a screen in making a silk-screen print.



In this case, i am talking about the tool (noun definition #1) which i use to do the action (verb definition #3).  Below is an image of my little friend.


So here is the thing about a carrie and a squeegee.  When i was in high school, my mama bought a squeegee for me to use on the shower door in my bathroom.  But i didn't.  Maybe once and a while i would do it for kicks, but really i just felt like i didn't had the time to be bothered with wiping water off of a door every time i bathed.

Oh, younger carrie, what was your problem?

Now - i feel like i have accomplished something great when i squeegee the shower door.  i am aware of what a small task it is, but just taking care of a little chore after my shower makes me feel like i am working toward being a successful homeowner.

Oh, later twenties carrie, what is your problem?

But i do not think that Jeff is using the squeegee.  Which i think is okay, due to my history that i just mentioned.  As long as there is a 50% chance the door is being de-streaked, we should be in good shape.  But then today i was thinking about how he does not use the magical window cleaner and then i started worrying about if we have kids, they will probably be a lot like a younger carrie and a current Jeff.  So there will be more and more showers and only ONE person cleaning off the door!  i am so scared.

And then i thought about today being Wednesday and realized i had taken a vow to blog on Wednesdays.... So my shower thoughts from the morning were all i could come up with to write about.  i apologize.  i am still going to post this blog and share it on Facebook and Pinterest.  

If anyone has any tips on getting a husband to do little things he thinks are silly, please share.  Likewise, if anyone has any tips on how to make a wife understand that husbands do not find the same things important that she does - share away as well.

Here's hoping for a better post next week!!!!
