6 kids...a bathroom...and no peace.


I have to be honest. When it comes to bathroom time I see it as my moment of recluse. A brief moment in time frozen where peace and war are insignificant compared to the matters at hand. A time to catch up on my reading or perhaps ponder the state of environmental affairs as I read the chemicals that make up the fragrance of the spray about to surround my bathroom. However I have a problem...in fact 6 of them. To date, my bathroom breaks are limited to 45 sec intervals ranging from daily updates on various potty cycles to the hourly updates of various consumer affairs related to the wants and desires of teenage girls in this family who feel it their obligation to drive my family into a major deficit in hopes of obtaining the latest of footwear and ear popping music technology. My hopes are simple, that perhaps I can be privy to one moment of silence or perhaps something supernatural can happen and as I open the door to the bathroom I'll be transported into Narnia where surely I can have 5 min of uninterrupted bathroom silence...thanks for listening...someone is knocking on the door again...
