Peeing Peacefully? Is that possible?

So after my last blog, I know I said I was going to read, but that will have to wait until the kids are asleep completely, not just in bed. Toddler bed, plus toddler that doesn't want to go to sleep, makes for several trips toting back to bed. On one trip back from putting him to bed I had to pee and of course at that very moment so did my oldest and my husband. (Perks of having just ONE bathroom)  On one of those trips it dawned on me, does any mother remember what it's like to pee alone?  I have completely forgotten what it's like to be able to pee in peace! I know, I know, wishful thinking right. That doesn't happen again until sometime WAY after they have moved out. But a mom can dream. At this rate, I can't even remember the last time I left the house without my hair in a ponytail, sweatpants, and a sweatshirt on. With who knows what on it, I mean, is that the banana that the baby had last week, because I can't remember washing this then? Or could that be snot? Who knows, I just go with the flow. Who has the time to do full blown make-up? Actual clothes other than comfy ones? Not I, not unless I take major time preparing for it. And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not missing that 45 minutes of sleep just to appear like a Stepford Wife, which I know I'm not! These days appearance is everything, but who has the time for it? Maybe one day, I'll be more like a Stepford Wife, keeping up with fashion trends and able to pull off that razorback tee that's so cute, while chasing after a toddler in 4-inch heels. But for now, I'll take those twice worn before washing sweatpants, that raggedy t-shirt that's so comfy you can't throw it away, and my tennis shoes from highschool because I'd much rather be running around outside with my kids, not a care in the world if my clothes get nasty. After all this rain the past few days, only one thing can ensue; MUD FIGHT!
