First of all, I know, what am I doing posting two days in a row?  Don’t worry, you probably wont hear from me for another six months.  I just have to tell you the ridiculousness of my bathrooms.

Let’s start at the beginning.  In this house that we’re renting we have four bathrooms.  That’s right!  There’s almost one bathroom per person.  Now I know you’re wondering…two are full and two are half baths.  One of each on each floor.

So I have found that no matter where I am in this huge house I will only use my master bathroom.  Doesn’t matter if I’m downstairs and am in the middle of a project.  I’ll traipse all the way upstairs just to use the one I’m most comfortable with.  This is not because the other bathrooms are ugly or outdated.  I just prefer to pee in my own private luxurious space.

So that’s not the weirdest part of our bathroom situation.  We have a bathroom right by the mud room that the kids use when they are playing outside.  Super convenient.  Well they were playing hide and seek the other day and someone was hiding under the sink and broke the pipe so I took some painters tape and taped off the bathroom until it can be fixed.  Ever since then the boys have been using the master bath since it’s located upstairs (really the ground floor).

I was in using my bathroom the other day when Oli came running in.  When he saw I was in there he turned around and ran downstairs.  I assumed he ran downstairs to use one of the two bathrooms down there.  Well, I finished up and went downstairs to get a box of tissue and there was Oli just sitting there on the floor.  He said, “Oh good, you’re done!”  And ran upstairs and used my bathroom.  There were two, count them, two, bathrooms at his disposal and he waited to use mine.

Now the only way I can explain the over use of our one master bathroom is that it is huge.  It’s like a master bedroom all in itself.  It’s got a large stall shower, a huge jetted tub with a shelf all the way around and a major walk in closet, not to mention the double sink area (there’s actually only one sink but there’s ample room for two). (The pic is off the internet.  Believe it or not our bathroom is much bigger than this.  It’s super ridonkulous.)

Now this would be nice if no one ever used any of the other bathrooms.  Then I would only have to clean one but the other ones still seem to get dirty.  I don’t know how it happens when they’re always in my room but it does.

So that’s it.  My bathroom story.  I’ve never in my life had the problem of too many bathrooms and which one to use until now.  I guess it’s a good problem to have!
