Tales (And Tails) from the Toilet

It's a rare occurrence in this house if I'm able to sit my butt down on the potty and just have some me time. And of all the times of day that a person deserves to be on their own, shouldn't it be while on the can? For me, even if there are no humans present, I still get no privacy. Sure, I could lock the door but what happens when I do that? Either a kid is knocking to ask me a question, or one of the cats is sticking her paws under the crack of the door to play try and catch me, Mommy! May as well just keep the door open, don't you think?

A couple of months ago while sitting down to do my thing, I had not one, but two kids at the door talking to me, and then, horror of horrors, Jimmy pokes his head in the door to have a word too! By now a couple of cats are curious, so not only are there three rude idiots people talking to me, now I've got a cat or two doing figure eights between my legs. As friends and family have commonly said to me, "Is there nothing sacred to you?" Well, sure, lots of things, but it just so happens that potty time is not one of them.

My very favorite is when Madison comes to visit while eating something, and then offers me a bite. Hello!?! Do you see what I'm doing here? Do you think I want to eat right this minute?

Now, not many people have a camera at the ready while they're doing potty time. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for me. This is a true testament to just how addicted I am to blogging. The fact that I stop to pick up my camera on the way to the loo is all the proof I need that I've completely lost my ever-lovin' bloggin' mind.

The photos kind of speak for themselves.

Zoe, the kitty terror.








Different potty, different cat, probably same day, knowing my constitution. Meet Simmie.




They're not all bad though. There's always Poo.






And they sure are cute when they're like this.



And this...



Now if only I could get them to stop shedding on my sheets and blankets.



Believe it or not, these sheets have been on the bed for less than a week. I'm just glad they pick that one spot for most of their naps, and it's not where I sleep!

Now I'll leave you with a little song that Madison and her bff Amrita made up.
