This morning my husband scolded me (sarcasm) for saying that
I don't have time to go to the bathroom during the day. We often talk about this conundrum. My usual response is, "Don't you think I
would go...if I could!"
So, why don't I go to the bathroom?
Here is how it usually goes -
My thought: Oh, I
have to pee...wait, new potty trainer hasn't gone in awhile...have to take him.
Upon finding said potty trainer, he is having an accident.
My thought:
AHHHH! One minute too late! Off to the bathroom we go. Note to self, remember to clean up pee. Note to self, remember to go to the bathroom
while you are in there.
New potty trainer completes bathroom trip, and baby starts
screaming. I finish potty trainer up
quickly, and dash out to get baby.
My thought: Rats, I
forgot to go. Go now. Take the baby. It will be fine. Don't forget to clean up that pee.
About this time, I hear a fight break out in the living room
between two toddler boys.
Them: Mine. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Mine.
My thought: Just go
pee. Ignore them........no, go stop
them. Better to catch them now than when
they have started hitting.
As the two toddlers are passing out apologies and hugs, I
take a dash toward the bathroom with baby in hand. Then, she spits up. Not just a little.
My thought: OK, grab
new clothes for me. While I am changing,
I will pee. For real this time. Then I have to clean up that pee from
earlier.
As I am reaching in my drawer, I hear someone slip and
fall. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Yes, a toddler did just wipe out in that spot
of pee.
My thought: I am such
a terrible mother. I should have cleaned
up that pee earlier. This is my
fault. Poor baby.
Snuggles for the toddler.
Baths for everyone. We all have
pee on us now.
So, you might be thinking, "Of course she went pee
while she was in the bathroom giving baths, right?"
.......................................
Not so much. I forgot
I had to go. Have you ever tried to
bathe a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a 3 month old? Let's just say that there was a lot of peeing
going on, but it wasn't me.
I just spent 15 minutes writing this blog post. I should have gone pee.
