10 seconds of peace

I love a good, hot shower. It is so relaxing, so quite, so peaceful. But, with two kids, it is also so short. Every time I get, I just don't want to get back out and face reality again. So at the end of my shower, I allow myself 10 seconds of peace, just standing still under the hot water. Because I count out the 10 seconds myself, it goes something like this.
