learning “privacy please!”










Putting up curtains like these


in the front room doesn’t ensure you will have the privacy to sit in your short pink bathrobe till noon. (gasp..o’ yes I do!)

Because at some point an uninvited solicitor will come knocking on your door in which your overzealous 4yr old dd will be more than willing to throw open the door all before you have time to peek out behind said curtains.



You may even find yourself trying to get off the couch w/out using your chest muscle..a process that takes much skill in maneuvering and feels allot like doing sit-ups and yes there’s the ungraceful grunt as you are rocking back and forth to get up..all while asking a confused 4yr old to “shut the door ..shut the door..shut the door please Sissy, momma is in her robe and needs privacy please!” After what seems like an eternity she will finally hear the word “privacy” and the light bulb will click on when she will give you the mercy of listening and shut slamming the door on the “witnesses” face.



I think it’s safe to say that man won’t be coming by again..but then again they are a persistent lot.



And this is what I learned



“ don’t count on your new curtains providing you cover to sit around till noon in your short pink terry clothe bathrobe..especially if you have my kid.”

Sorry... but I am LOL!!!

I occasionally get "trapped" in my office. It's right inside the front door. The front door that is glass.

Only difference? My robe is blue. Ha!

Well, I guess that it is good that she heard you eventually! My bedroom used to be off of my parents' office. So often I wouldn't be able to leave my room in the morning without getting fully dressed and walking through a meeting to get to the bathroom!
