Musings from the bathroom....

I was actually in the bathroom for a reason. And NOT that one :)

I went to take a picture of my medicine cabinet. Yep...medicine cabinets and bratz in the tub...im on a roll today....maybe that padded room isn't so far in the future. For my new readers...I consider the padded room to be my long overdue vacation....so I am patiently waiting.

Ok back to the medicine cabinet....this morning I had a mad blog reading fest...translation...I went through and read all my favorite blogs.....and while going through my blogs I went to Three Boys One Mommy and I found this post. Now, not being one to back down from a challenge....I decided to pursue it. But first I had a few moments of contemplation.

First I thought long and hard. Do I snoop in other people's medicine cabinets? It's been a while since I was at anyone's house not related to me....but I think I can remember that far back....and no I honestly don't. Not because I am not nosey. I am super nosey. But basically I have bathroom-o-phobia. Or whatever they call it when you are worried people will hear you in the bathroom. Like people are all sitting around going "shhhhhhhhh lets see what Jenni is up to". But still...its a phobia of mine. So for starters I avoid bathrooms at other people's houses. Which works. But when ya gotta go....ya gotta go. So I hurry. And I make sure I am super silent. Except for washing my hands. And for some reason I REALLY want people to know I wash my hands LOL. So no...I don't snoop. But now I may start just because of this post.

So that led me to my next thought.....have patience...I am getting to the challenge....but first I am showing you the workings of my crazy mind. So anyways my next thought was when was the last time I looked in MY medicine cabinet. And honestly folks, I don't remember. I don't use it. It's like storage for the small and mundane things. I have a nifty shelf that runs along the wall where I keep all of my essentials. So I truthfully didn't know what was in there.

Which brought me to think about strange things I've seen in bathrooms. And to be honest...it was at my moms. Early in my marriage...M was a baby....we were between places...story of my life.....and we were staying at my moms. So was my brother in law and his best friend. Strange I know. We are like flypapers for the homeless lol. Anyways....I went to the bathroom and for some reason I was in the diaper pail....maybe I was emptying it. And what was there? Under the dirty diapers?? Someone's 'adult' magazine. Now to this day I don't know whose it was. There were three men in the house. I use the term men loosely LOL. But whoever it was HAD to have been pretty darn determined to keep that sucker away from others to hide it in the diaper pail under stinky diapers.

But thats another topic for another day. Back to the medicine cabinet....what would be in there?? That's a loaded question around here. I found a pencil in the bathroom this morning. Courtesy of Madison. I know this because it was a HSM pencil.

But at least it wasn't going to be as bad as my last house. See M was younger then. And I had some....uh....novelties. And since she couldn't reach the medicine cabinet...I hid them there. Now that would have been creepy for the person visiting who did snoop through other people's medicine cabinets. Imagine their surprise! But I honestly forgot I had put them there. And when I moved, my mom packed the bathroom.

To say she wasn't thrilled is an understatement.

But that's another story for another day.

Back to the medicine cabinet. My next thought was....do I go clean and then snap a pic? or do I snap a pic and enjoy the humor?

Well....I'm a slacker.

So I snapped a pic and said screw it. LOL. So here's my pic of my medicine cabinet....

So part of the challenge was to talk about what is in there....so here goes...

bottom shelf: two half tubes of toothpaste and a toothbrush from when we first moved in-- 2 1/2 years ago. Yep that ought to be good to go! And the container on the left is the first aid kit Madison made in Girl Scouts. Now THAT we have used!!

Middle shelf: Ear disinfectant stuff from claire's from when we pierced Madison's ears-- 2 1/2 years ago LOL. 2 things of cold medicine. Some peroxide and Love's Baby Soft Spray. Yes I wear baby soft. I have allergies to most scents and that one I can stand!

Top shelf: A broke electric battery operated thingy toothbrush. Missing the most important part-- the bristles LOL. And various tubes of different types of ointments.

So our medicine cabinet is storage for dead toothbrushes and storage for....medicine! I'm shocked. I expected to find all sorts of goodies.

Now at least I know that if we move my mom can pack the bathroom :)
