A Little Privacy.....

{....this might be a bit TMI for some of you. I'm sorry.}

I have never closed the door when I've had to use the potty because....

1. I'm pretty quick.

2. I need to hear if the kiddos need me.

3. I'm afraid I might miss out on something.

4. During the day, I'm the only one home.

Well the other day I found a tiny slice of heaven.

I had to pee.

And I decided to shut the door.

Imagine that.

And guess what happened....

1. I was still quick.

2. I didn't care who needed me.

3. I also didn't care what I might have missed.

4. I stayed in there for 20 minutes.

20 minutes all to myself.

After I was done going potty,

I put the seat top down and sat back on it fully clothed

and played on the iPad that was sitting on the floor there

from Blake's Ace Malone clean out earlier that day.

I heard kids come and go.

I heard Dave's footsteps enter our master bathroom and then leave.

I heard Little Miss call 'mommy' and then run

and call for 'daddy'.

And I sat there and thought....

why hadn't I thought of this sooner.

I'll admit it felt a little funny.

But while in there, I decided my water closet needed to be decorated 

a little cuter if I was going to hang out in there more often.

And then I went out to the family room and announced to the family

that I would forever more be closing the bathroom door!

Surprisingly, they all cheered.

I didn't know it bothered them so much.

I've always hated it when they have been behind that locked door.

If you are a mother....give it a try.

If you haven't already.

You will thank me.

I wish someone would have shared this info sooner with me.
