rub-a-dub-dub 2 happy kids in a tub

so i finally did it. i scrubbed the living hell out of the tub and "made it mine." thank you to my cohorts in NH and VA for setting me straight. thank you from bridget and andrew as well. you would have thought it was a swimming pool.

for those of you out there who have no idea what i am talking about - everyone but 3 - i have/make that HAD a problem with used tubs. i did not want my kids or myself in a tub that had someone else's germs. so for the past 2+ years, bridget has taken a bath in a huge plastic tub inside our tub. when we lived in boston, this wasn't a big deal because there was no tub there so the big tub sat in the shower and we had no choice. but now. now that we are here in our house, i had a choice. the normal choice would have been to clean the tub and put them in it. i just couldn't do it.

but i've done it. i did it. they've bathed. and lived. tomorrow i will check for welts in their bottoms.

what happens if you travel and stay in a hotel? i ask because i am the same way. SO grossed out by used tubs, especially in hotels. ew ew ew. i have to let my husband bathe them (after i wipe the whole thing out with various products). i can't even watch. blech.

i usually send them in with my husband and he holds them in the shower and washes them. once they are washed off i come in and get them so he can resume his shower. they are crazy slippery though - which is why he does it and not me. i hear you on the not watching, i couldn't do it either. so nasty.
