**************************

When questioned on where I {mother of twins, wife, human being} recharge my batteries, it didn't take long to see the lightbulb go off.

There is one place in my house where I can truly exhale. 

I can read, put on some music, and block out all other sounds or cries that may be coming from inside the walls of my home.

It is my sanctuary to lose myself in a novel and wash the stress of the day right out of my hair.

Literally.

My bathroom. 

Or more importantly, my bathtub.

Surrounded by soft candlelight {and sometimes a sparkling flute of champagne} I can melt away in the bubble bath haven I have created for myself.

 Here, no one needs to know where the remote is, 

what is for dinner, 

or why my son has crayon around his mouth. 

Here, I fill the silence with a soft voice coming through my iPod.

And when I find myself recharged enough to reenter the battle,

I linger a bit

throw on a big cushy robe,

and smile.
Because the busy life of being a wife and mother that makes me need a "mom cave,"
is exactly the life I want.
