Does atomic orbitals cover themselves?

How can I than understand the picture of orbitals, that are ussualy shown?
If s orbital is a sfere,with the nucleus in the center, and p orbital in that 8 shaped orbital, how is that possible?

Well I mean, my problem is, that if I look pictures of each orbitals(1s,2s,2p,...) i cant imagine how can I combine them so that they wont cover?

They do cover eachother. Remember, these are "probability density charts" meaning, graph the wave function of the electron and see where it is around the nucleus.
In the case of "s" orbitals, it is a sphere, with equal probability to be a certain distance from the nucleus.
When you move onto the "p" orbital, the mathematical wave function for that atomic orbital, the "p" orbital, turns out to be that tear drop shape.
Now, when you "add" S and P orbitals together, you get hybrid orbitals (sp,sp2,sp3) see Molecular Orbital Theory
