Just Like Brigitte Bardot

A minute here, a minute there
so I don't have to tear my hair
and rend my garment.
Just a moment, just for me
to take a breath or even pee
without the varmint.
Climbing, hugging, kissy face
up my ass and in my face
I tolerate with all the grace I can.
Please understand.
I am a mother.
And, I dearly love her.
But, sometimes, I "vant" to be left alone!

Ha ha!! I am so with you, girl! I haven't pee'd alone in about 4 years and I think I have about 4 years to go before I can reclaim the bathroom from my youngest ones!

Wonderful! When DH is home and Hayden still follows me into the bathroom every single time, DH tries to persuade him to leave me alone (usually to no avail). Then DH always asks, "Does he just follow you around all day?"

Welcome to my world...

Thanks for participating!

Hysterical and so true. Alone in the bathroom---does it get any better?
