Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 7:17 am extra effort
I was due for an appointment with the gynaecologist later in the week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off school, and it was already around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pyjamas, wet the wash cloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash to make sure I was clean and fresh!!
I threw the wash cloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor seemed to be trying not to laugh. He then said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I just looked at him as I was unsure what he meant??
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal. Some mopping, cleaning, cooking. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "mummy, where's my wash cloth?" I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."
