Need to Fix the Lock on the Bedroom Door

My worst fear is (or should I say was) to have my daughter walk in on Duane and I...uumm...well...you know. Well, it happened the other day.

The 2 of us try to steal time together whenever we can since our schedules are so crazy. This particular day, DJ was asleep in his crib (in his room) and Nyani was in her room on her computer. Normally when she's on her computer she's there for hours and we have to make her get up. But, not that day.

Our bedroom door doesn't lock but we closed it for some privacy. (I did have the monitor on so I could hear my son) A little while later, let's just say...I was at the mountain top...when the door opens and in comes Nyani asking "Whatcha doing?" We had blankets on (Thank God) to cover us up and it wasn't obvious what we were doing. However, I couldn't speak. All I could do was turn my head the other way and try to contain my noises. Well, I didn't do a good job because Nyani started to look concerned and said "Daddy stop hurting Mommy". I couldn't do anything. I was still coming down from heaven. Duane was smart enough to send her to 'check on DJ' and told her that I was fine.

After she left, I was back to normal and had to quickly get it together because I knew she was going to come straight back to check on me. I jumped up, ok, wobbled up to the bathroom and got myself together. She busts in asking if I was ok. I explained to her that I was fine and that Daddy wasn't hurting me, we were just playing a game. She seemed satisfied with that and let the issue go.

I was so glad. I felt like such a bad mother. But what could I have done? I have always been afraid of that happening. I thought it would scar her for life. Although we may not want to relive that moment, who hasn't walked in or heard their parents? My girlfriend's son walked in on her and her husband and he didn't speak for days!

I hope I am not the only Mom out there with a horror story like this. I've learned my lesson though,
