This Is My Life

This afternoon I was playing on the floor with the kids. I really had to get up and go pee, but in deference to my inner 5 year old child, I put it off until it was almost an emergency.

I ran to the bathroom, shut the door, pulled down my pants, dancing around the entire time.

And then I realized that one (or possibly more) of my boys had peed all over the seat.

I was faced with a decision to either dance around and clean up the toilet seat, hoping that I had enough bladder control left, or to hover over the seat. I chose to hover. Being 7 mos pregnant and having given birth to several children, the bladder control situation seemed iffy.

And as I squatted there I simultaneously came to the realizations that 1) I had sunk to an all new low by having a toilet in my house that was not fit for using, and 2) this is my life.

I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry.

But before I got a chance to decide I lost my balance and my big butt flopped right down on the wet toilet seat.

I sat there for a few moments in disbelief. Now this was an all time new low.

And I did the only thing I could do. I laughed, because really it was funny.

OMG..........I know exactly how you feel. I have 6 boys and pregnant with the seventh (meaning Im almost 9 months preg), and I never use their toilet. However, the other night had to potty real bad, and didnt think I was going to make it to my bathroom, so went in theirs. And not thinking sat right down.......Eeewww! I should have looked first. It wasnt funny at the time........but now looking back it was rather funny. And knowing that I am not the only one with boys who have problems aiming...LOL
