Never Alone

Before I had a baby I used to wonder how it was possible that moms never got a minute to themselves.  How could it be that you can’t even pee alone?  Can’t you just shut the door?  I truly never got it.

Enter Charlotte.

Yes.  That is me, on the toilet bowl, trying to pee in peace.  This is me, on the toilet bowl, failing to pee in peace.  This is Charlotte, after barging into the bathroom demanding to see me, and climbing up my lap as I tried to relieve my bladder.  This is an EVERY. DAY. OCCURRENCE.

I apologize to all of the seasoned mothers for ever questioning your ability to go to the bathroom alone.  I was naive and stupid and for that I am sorry.

Oh, kids.
