If I let him in with me I have to to everything twice.
I wash my hair, I wash his hair.
I condition my hair, I condition his hair.
I shave my legs, I have to pretend to shave his legs.
It takes forever and I'm in ice water by the time I do my final rinse.
So the second choice is to lock him out.
And then I get kicking, banging, screaming and then silence.
It's the silence that bothers me most.
Because he's off doing something like dumping a box of pancake
mix onto the table to play in.
Apparently he thought he should make his own sand pit in the dining room.
He also got a pitcher of orange juice from the fridge and poured it into this lawnmower, that he stole from a neighbor. He wanted gas in the gas tank.
In case you aren't familiar, orange juice is a ridiculous sticky mess to clean up.
But the pancake mix was much worse. It's the kind that says "just add water".
Well you know what that means? It turns to a horrible paste when I try to clean it!
Awful sticky horrible mess.
So I'm never taking a shower again, unless The Man is home to watch The Baby.
If you know me in real life and I start to reek, I apologize.
Talk to The Man and tell him to be home more often so I can be clean.

THAT'S WHY I STINK 90% of the time mostly when The Captain is away. It's even worse with 4-they do SERIOUS DAMAGE :)
I feel terrible for you, because I know exactly what that is like! But I can't help it ... I'm laughing so hard at those pictures. Pancake mix ... oh boy! I'm so dreading the day my daughter grows tall enough to reach stiff like that in our house!
Lol!!! Oh, what a little stinker! It's a good thing he's so dang cute.....
Smiles, Karen
Oh, I have to share! My friend stepped out of the shower once to find that her 2 little darlings had decided to paint the walls with peanut butter and jelly---using her tampons as paintbrushes!! lol
Bahahaha Karen!!!!
That is so funny!!
Oh no, I have to admit I was laughing out loud reading of his antics. Of course I was also feeling tremendous empathy for you. I totally know the feeling about not being able to shower in peace. When my daughter was that age, I usually showered late at night when she was asleep. That was about the only time I could do so without interruption. Luckily she never considered pantry items as a good source for 'sandbox' play. Mostly she'd assume she was invited to join me in the shower as soon as I turned on the water.
Ah! What a mixture of deep sympathy and high amusement this post affords!
Wow.
God bless you. A lot.
And somehow I still look forward to the day I'm in those shoes myself.
:)
oh no! I can't help but laugh - and those pictures are too cute!
Silence is deadly. when I am home, I try to let JJ watch TV, while I shower. But, I still have to be very quick. The other day he moved a stool into my closet and was trying to climb up my clothes to get into the attic.
oh I am SO with you!!! My daughter will NOT allow me even to PEE by myself. Nope. Not even maybe.
Sigh.

OMG, Becky! What a cute lil stinker!
(LOL)

Boy, have I forgotten what it's like to have a little one around, but you've brought it all back, vividly! He sure is a cute little boy. Good thing you like him, huh?
HAHAHA! I know what you mean! My showers now have to take place at 630am when my husband wakes up, just so that I can pop in and out.
Or if I feel like getting an extra 20 minutes of sleep, they take place with the door open. I have a bin of toys under the sink that are bath toys, books, and other random new toys that are only for playing with while mommy is in the shower and the kids can sit on the floor of the bathroom and play. It's COLD, with the open door, but it makes for a longer than 2 minute shower!
That is soooo funny!! (sorry, but it just is!) :D What's also funny is that your reaction to it was to get out your camera and take pictures of it. And I'm glad you did, it made me laugh!
Oh no...what an awful mess! Why do moms have to jump through hoops just to get something as simple as a shower?! I know how it is...I wait till the hubby is home before I get one. Aaahhh, the joys of motherhood!
You poor thing! This too shall pass....I promise! These will make great memories to tease him about once he starts dating! :-P
That is too funny! Thank god my daughter (age 2) can't get into the kitchen, i can only imagine. I do have to take her with me to the bathroom....good-bye to peeing in peace. When my son was little I started taking a shower 1st thing when I got up. This way daddy got to have fun with the kids. =P
OMG....I hate to laugh...but I'm just going to have to. Obviously you see the humor in this or your wouldn't have posted it. This phase shall pass and you'll be wishing to The Baby's antics again. uhhh....maybe!?!?? Anyway, he's TOO cute and obviously has your creative touch!
Ahh, I remember those days! And of course the guys just don't understand how hard it really is! Give it a few years and you'll be able to shower alone again!
heehee! During nap time?
Oh that is too funny! Its the little things we take for granted...like being clean! :)
ohhhh my goodness! All I can say is thank you LORD that Lagan is 7! hehe
Wow you have a very creative kid there!! I don't think I could keep up with that. Good luck for private time!
LOL!!
I almost spit out my coffee, I was laughing so hard!
I can totally relate though...I have perfected the "under 5 minute" shower, since I've had kids. I always count it as a "luxury" when the hubs is home, and I can actually shave my legs and exfoliate while showering...woo-hoo!
Thanks for the laugh this morning :)
lol. I don't mean to laugh at your pain but geez- he's hardcore- pancake mix and oj? Could it get any worse?!???
Oh soooooo cute and so funny!! Sigh. Those were the days! My little boy who is now 25 used to be just like that!!
Hope you have a great day!!
xo,
Kim
Umm, yeah. There was the time mine dumped out the powdered green tempera on the kitchen floor. You know, the kind you mix with water to make paint. I swept, then mopped to pick up the last remnants. Bad idea. I had green grout for a very long time.
Showers are very dangerous, aren't they! I can't remember the last time my shower was longer than 4.2 minutes, for fear that the house will look like a tornado went through by the time I get out! I feel your pain.
He's innocent I tell ya!
ha! yeah, like someone said before he *is* hardcore. it's sad to laugh, but i love that he just took the lawnmower and the look he has in the photo.
hahahaha!
Love the "gas" in the tank and the way his tongue is lolling out in that pic!
He and Piper could conquer the world together, heheh.
