“It” being someone needing me.
Every single flippin’ time, I tell you.
(Spin, stop. Stop it now. You are NOT allowed to comment today.)
BESIDES the obvious, as far as he is concerned – the number of times Spin has called when I’ve just gotten out of the shower has us joking that he’s either telepathic or I’m naked all the time.
Of course, I’m not.
Obviously, he has cameras installed in the shower house.
I’m going somewhere with this. I really am.
Can anyone testify to this phenomena?
You go to the bathroom… and there is a child who parks himself right outside the door until you’re done, waiting to tell you about his strategy for airsoft camp later in the day.
You’re just stepping out of the shower and your husband rings. You know, just to see what you’re doing. As if he doesn’t already know.
You’re lotioning up and dressing and your daughter, who hasn’t needed you for the last two hours, needs you desperately right. this. minute. because, sometimes nail polish just. can’t. wait.
What in the ever-lovin’ world???
I once read an article that talked about the benefits of spending four minutes a day in the nude. The author was clearly childless.
Can a mom just get a little space in which to be naked?? Alone???
I don’t know. I think not.
Perhaps today I will just open the door and let them all walk in.
That’ll scar teach ‘em.

Oh, Man! This happens to me ALL the time. My kids are constantly banging on the bathroom/bedroom door begging me to come out for something. I know my neighbors who spend half their day peaking in my window think I use towels as day wear.
NO PRIVACY!
This was a super funny post.

No pictures?

It would definitely do something to them. Honey, I am just excited if I get to go to the bathroom – alone!
And thanks for the lack of pics this time.
i hate being naked.
so maybe it’s a shame i don’t have kids.

aleces last blog post..my corner is full
Mine are small enough that they do just walk in.
My 3 year old may comment on my nubbles (his word, not mine) but otherwise, the fact that I am nekkid doesn’t even phase them.

I completely agree with you. This just happened to me this morning. I was getting into the shower and every one in the house busted in on me. Leave me alone!!!! Oh why can’t we just shower in peace?
Jen, buried with childrens last blog post..Running….
how am I supposed to follow you on Twitter if your updates are protected? Talk about dangling a piece of naked man in front of me and not letting me reach him!

I just gave Kaishon and Gary a lecture about this last night. I would like to be left alone for 10 FREAKING minutes to take a shower. Seriously. Is that too much to ask?

I never get to use the bathroom without a conversation. I haven’t put lotion on in years. But then at random times, they’ll leave me alone for over an hour. Heaven forbid it would be when I might like to slap on some lotion or something. Or maybe dry my hair.

Can I get an “AMEN” from the congregation??
Doesn’t matter if no one in a 20 mile radius has spoken to you in two weeks, the minute you go to the bathroom/step in/out of the shower/try to change clothes the world wants you.
I hear you, I sympathize with you, and dammit, I want to be left alone too!
To this day, I do not need my mother unless she is in the bathroom. I now live 300 miles away from her; guess where she is when I call?
I thank God several days a week for our gym. I can drop off the kids at their phenomenal kiddie care place for up to two hours. Sometimes, I don’t even work out. I shampoo, shave, get dressed, put on *makeup*, and read. Ahhhhhhhhh…… None of it would ever happen if they were with me!

Or worse … UPS man or mailman at the door as you’re running around naked just trying to get to the dryer for some panties. Not good. Not good at all.
Mama Belles last blog post..Comfort
I’m a never-nude, and this may be why…
Just grabbed your blog button and am putting it on my site.
Mwah!

So true, so true! And how about the phone?! I swear I have such well-behaved, quiet children……until the phone rings.
