How Mom's take a shower

Mom: Goes into bathroom to get undressed and ready to take a shower. As soon as all clothes have dropped to the floor...

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! MOOOOOM?!

Mom: Don't come in! What do you need?

CAN I GO TO THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE?

Mom: Fine, but no friends in the house until I am out of the shower and dressed

Mom: Climbs into the shower and starts to get wet when...

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! MOOOOOM?!

Mom: What?

ALGHOIUREWPAH?!pHAPOHIGPAHT?!

Mom: Come in, I can't hear or understand a word you are saying

CAN I GO TO THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE TOO?

Mom: Okay just go

Mom: Finishes up her shower and steps out to put on a towel

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!?

Mom: Don't come in, what do you need now

I'M GETTING HUNGRY CAN YOU MAKE ME A SANDWICH?

Mom: Just a minute

KNOCK, KNOCK KNOCK! MOOOOMMM?! HAVE YOU SEEN MY NOTEBOOK?!

Mom: Really? Can I get 15min of peace just to get a shower and get dressed?! I'll be out in a minute!!

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK?!

Mom: Don't come in!!

Seriously, how is Mom supposed to get anything done?! Someday they say I will miss these little interruptions? Really? Today I could have used just a few less interuptions and little bit more peace and quiet while trying to take a shower!

I love being a Mommy, I really really do!! :-)

How about a drink?

Since all my posts lately seem to be of food, how about I throw a drink in here for good measure. I love this time of year with all the fresh fruit and vegetables. It is so easy to keep good and healthy food in the house when it is in season and so cheap and yummy. I saw a recipe in a magazine the other day for a drink with Gin and Cucumber. I thought I had dog eared the page but I can't find the page now that I want the recipe. So, I did some searching and found a similar recipe to make a drink today. It is so amazing and tastes so fresh and yummy, like summertime. So I thought I would post it here for all of you to try too. Cheers!

Ingredients

• 2 slices peeled cucumber, plus 1 unpeeled slice for garnish
• 6 fresh mint leaves
• 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 2 ounces cucumber-infused gin (such as Hendrick's)
• 3 to 4 ounces club soda

Directions

Place the peeled cucumber slices, mint, cilantro and sugar in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add the lime juice and gin. Fill the shaker halfway with ice and shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes (this seems like a long time, but it's essential).

Fill a cocktail glass with fresh ice. Strain the drink into the glass, top with the club soda and garnish with a cucumber slice.

COOKS NOTES:
I made this with Gin and I also made one with Vodka, both were very good. I also used Sprite instead of club soda because it's what I had. I am not sure what Turbinado sugar is so I just used my normal sugar that I already have in the house. Remember, don't let a recipe box you in, think outside the box and make the recipe yours! ENJOY! :-)
