lol you poor thing, I kick Andrew out of bed to watch the kids when I have a shower :)
I can totally relate! The only reason I drag myself out of bed early on Monday morning is so that I can shower in peace before the gremlins wake up!
Oh to have a shower in peace and quiet........ for as LONG as you want............ Those were the days!!
