EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES

so as I was showering for the first time this week (yes, it's Wednesday, don't judge me!) I was wondering at what point am I going to have to stop using the excuse of "I have a newborn" to get out of showering, potlucks, and the ever present in my life, jewelry/ candle buying parties?  I'm thinking by the time Tanner is 4 I'll have to give it up.
