It's Sometimes Difficult to be Alone

With two preschoolers in the house several days a week, it becomes a challenge to even find time for a personal trip to the bathroom. Heather and I always make sure that one of us is "on patrol" before taking such a break. Once in the bathroom, you realize that it's the first 5 minutes you've had to yourself all morning. And then you hear a little noise at the bottom of the door, and several tiny fingers poke through – wiggling as if to say, "I know you're in there!" That's right – you just THOUGHT you were alone.
