The New Bathroom Decor

Most moms quickly learn that once you have a baby, having a bathroom to yourself is a luxury. And a rarity. Hence, most of the time when I’m in the bathroom showering, getting ready for work or whatever, The Munchkin is with me.

Because it’s a bathroom, there are many areas of it that I prefer she not play with (like the toilet, or the cabinets under our sink – and yes, I know I need to baby-proof the bathroom). I usually have her in my sight at all times. This morning as I was brushing my teeth, I took 30 seconds – maybe even less – to spit out the toothpaste and rinse my mouth. The Munchkin was looking at a book.

In those 30 seconds (maybe less), this happened:

Stealth little booger, isn’t she?

For some reason, it made my morning.

And when I got home from work and discovered the pile still sitting there (because Lord knows we did not have time to clean it up before we rushed out the door this morning), it made gave me a chuckle and made my afternoon. I think I’ll let it stay there until tomorrow. It adds a nice touch to the room, don’t you think?

10 Things I would Have Tweeted from Jury Duty if I had Access to Electronics

  1. Feeling naked without my phone. I really need to invest in a good watch.
  2. Wow, I just read an entire magazine article without a single interruption! I don’t know the last time that happened. Maybe this whole waiting around thing isn’t so bad…
  3. Ok, I’ve read all the appealing articles in my magazine. Still waiting.
  4. People watching to pass the time. Note to self: try to avoid being in the jury box with guy reading “Anger Management for Dummies.”
  5. Officially read all the articles and ads in my magazine. Still waiting…
  6. Stomach growling +wooden benches = embarrassing combination. When is lunch?
  7. Another note to self: don’t sit next to smelly guy after the lunch break. Pew!
  8. Why must they specify “brass knuckles” in every sign listing what’s banned from court? Isn’t the word, “weapon” broad enough? In what situation are they not considered a weapon?
  9. Words I am beginning to dislike today: Voidier, Reasonable Doubt, Unbiased, Please give me another 5 minutes
  10. One word I was hoping to hear today but didn’t: Dismissed. Sigh. And so it continues…
