The other day I tried a really novel idea–I LOCKED the bathroom door. Crazy, I know, but we have these locks on the doors and apparently they do stuff like keep kids, dogs, and husbands out of the bathroom while it’s otherwise occupied. Fascinating!
It was about 30 seconds after lock implementation that I realized why those locks aren’t used by mothers very often. It might have been the banging on the door. Or the cries of “Mommy, something is wrong with this door. I can’t get it.” Or the sudden crash that came from the toy room that sent me running with yoga pants around my ankles.
While I may never pee alone again, I seem to be in good company, and I’m beyond thrilled to revel the cover of the new book that I’m going to be in I Still Just Want to Pee Alone. It’s available March 27, 2015!
This book is a sequel to the wildly successful book created by the hilarious Jen Mann of People I Want to Punch in the Throat. You’ll find essays about motherhood being the toughest and most absurd and hilarious job, and we can all relate to our deep desire to just PEE ALONE!

So many of my favorite ladies in here!!! Can’t wait to read this bad boy! CONGRATS!!!!!!!
Sounds like a great book. I have been peeing alone for a few years now and have never been happier.
I can’t wait until March 27th. I LOVED the first book, so I’m really excited for the second one. These stories are hilarious!
This book looks like a ton of fun. I can totally relate to this.
Oh, I SO need to check this out. Because I do just want to pee alone!!!!
Oh I am DEFINITELY buying that book!! My kids are good about leaving me alone, but the cat is a whole different story!
Yes, I never have understood why I get an audience when I have to pee or the other! Even my husband comes in to talk. What the heck!
This sounds awesome! I can’t wait to pee alone, forget what that’s really like.
I’m glad we can laugh at ourselves a little! It sounds like such a fun book.
Sounds like a great bunch of gals. Love to read it.
Ha, I need to check this out, it’s the story of my life.
Someone with kids still has to write the book about “look before you sit” that enables you to clean the duckies, dollies, and rubber balls out of the toilet bowl before you have to pee. It’s nearly as unique an experience as getting to take a shower or bath alone.
Oh gosh – I remember these days! haha! What a great idea!
Cannot wait to read this one! I bet the stories are hilarious!
Do you know the only person who does not bother me when I pee is the kid? She’s just awesome like that. But hubs, he feels like he can just walk in whenever and it always seems like he needs something right when I pee. The dogs and the cat? I realized at a very young age that pets will follow you. Everywhere.
What a great lineup! This is going to be one funny book. P.S. I just started using the lock on the bathroom door too. lol
I bet this will be a great read! I totes lock my door..yet they continue to knock.. :/
So excited to share the pages of this book with so many of you talented ladies!
