DUDE.

"...even if those "accomplishments" involve scissors and your ass."

HAHAHAHAHA. Hey, I've painted my toenails while on the throne...

hahaha us mothers do what we can when we're in there...sometimes it's the only solitude I get...for about 5 minutes until someone is at the doorway complaining about the other one....

They don't get the whole "personal space" thing...

It's funny that you would talk about this today.... This morning, whilst taking The Dump, I reached over and picked up my curling iron. When I left the bathroom a few minutes later, I was a pound lighter and had pretty hair!!!

Multitaskin' "Dumpers" UNITE!

I think I scared everyone else away with this story. You are brave wimmins.

I've often thought I should move my computer into the bathroom, so I could be totally efficient. ;^)

So glad Little Ms. G is breathing better now. Bet you are, too. Here's to a speedy recovery!

If not for those few precious potty moments, I'd get nothing done!

Things I can do while dumping:
1. return important phonecalls
2. fill out school forms
3. clip my nails
4. write another to do list
5. check in on my favorite weblogs. (Laptops rule)

OMG! You all had me laughing my butt off! Way too funny!

amen for laptops!

BTW, I hope you put the scissors down whilst wiping said ass....I would hate to see what kind of mess *that* would leave ;)

I am not above having complete phone conversations whilst having a bowel movement. The tricky part is trying to flush and run out of the bathroom before the other person can hear!!!

Heh heh. Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! We definitely refer to that multitasking in my house! Because really, taking a dump is a chore in and of itself at times, right?

Colon care + Budgeting = Right on!

-H

You could move one of those dinner tray tables in there and put a phone line in and the laptop and *really* get some work done.

I generally stick to reading in the bathroom. I can't talk on the phone in the bathroom at all. And there's no privacy in the bathroom here. There's no door.

LOL- Now that's mutli-tasking :)

Sheesh, all I do is read. I feel like such an underachiever.

NinaKaye, a bathroom without a door? I'd never be able to go.

Glad Gabby is doing better!

God bless wireless routers. I would never get any blogs read without ours. I've also sorted a mountain's worth of mail, brushed my teeth, written thank you notes...I could go on and on. After all, how many chances do you have to be alone, have (at least semi)quiet, and it's somewhat appropriate to be behind a locked door when there are kids around? And I'm not does it count as multi-tasking since you really don't have to think about doing the dump?

Oh the irony... i read your post whilst taking the dump!
