Since having kids….
I don’t shower alone anymore….
I don’t pee alone anymore….
I don’t get dressed alone anymore….
I don’t work alone anymore….
I (rarely) walk alone anymore….
I don’t go to the gym alone anymore….
I (rarely) practice yoga alone anymore….
And, you know? I’m okay with all that. But, then. THIS is where I draw the line:
It’s a picture of me…. ON THE TOILET!!! A cheaty little someone grabbed the camera and got HAPPY with it while I was trying to pee…. Luckily she was wearing a hand puppet on one hand, so her aim was way off….
…most of the time. I deleted the pics she took SANS puppet. Because the last thing I need is a SCANDAL on my hands!
Seriously, though, COMPROMISING PHOTOS are where I draw the line…. Like the other day? IN THE SHOWER. It’s one thing not to be able to EVER shower alone and in peace and for more than 5 minutes, but it’s quite another to HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN IN THE SHOWER….
HELLOOO? NO!!! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? WHERE IS THE MERCY?
Where is…my CAMERA?
The winner video is FINALLY up at Cheaty Goodies! It only took me a FULL DAY to load it…. Oh well. Now I know what to do for next time.

I finally drew the line at mama getting bathroom time alone, it is one small perk of being the only girl in the house, lol!

She took a pic of you on the toilet and in the shower? I think that’s so cute! Sounds like she has a mischevious streak in her.
Don’t you have times when Josh-O takes the kids so you can be alone or go out? If not, you should definitely make him do so once or twice a week. Of course you need alone time!

My daughter likes to sit and hold my hand while I go poo. No, seriously.
And on the subject of cameras, why is it that my daughter finds my SD700 easier to use than her Little Tykes toddler digicam?

OMG that is so funny. Poor you. Yes I know, I have just recently been able to pee by myself, and only occasionally. When I shower I usually have my 3 year old sitting on the floor talking to me and getting frustrated when i don’t understand him. Pure pleasure!

Ha! They should put warnings on the packaging of digital cameras for kids:
“May result in creation of embarrassing photos of adults.”

well at least you can delete them.
have you taken pictures of Monkey going potty or in the tub? If so, then there ya go…turn about is fair play!
Perhaps hiding the camera from her might be in order.

You DO get your privacy back - my kids are still prone to barging in on me while I’m in the bath, but I get the bathroom to myself for everything else.
And too funny about your monkey and her picture taking! Hee!

oh yes. have been there. Emily, who is a little older than your monkey, gets her aim spot on…and had taken many a compromising picture.
kids are a joy. your privacy is gone the minute you go into labor. hahah.

HEHE! Too funny! I just found out today that I`m having another boy. 3 boys under 3.5 years old WOWZA!!!!!!! I will never have a shower by myself again!
Lindz said on June 24th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Atleast she is skilled enough to keep your private parts out of the shot. I think this is remarkably amusing - mostly because I am not experiencing it.

That’s pretty funny. We only have one bathroom and EVERY time I get in the shower my daughter needs to poop. Fun.

That was priceless! Yup, all “alone” time goes out the window. But I figure when the kids are teens, they won’t want to be within 50 feet of me, so I’ll enjoy the “closeness” for now!

I feel your pain! I haven’t had my kids try to take a picture of me in a “private” moment….yet…but the no time to myself feels bad enough.

I personally love being a Virgo - I never thought perfectionism was a flaw (I think mediocrity is a major flaw!!).
I think striving to be the best you can be is a major asset, which I feel perfectionism entails.
Great qualities of a Virgo (that you didn’t mention in your article): great work ethic, analytical, intelligent, organized, generous, sensitive, caring, etc.
All the signs have their flaws and their pluses…I am in the mindset to embrace whatever sign you may be - it helps build self-esteem!

Oh. My. Goodness.
Everyone tells me that I need to find a nice girl and have kids. This is NOT supporting their view…thank God!
