My Office

I'm in the process of remodeling our "Study", which was once the nursery - complete with *3* cribs. Yes - holy crap - 3 cribs. Wish I had a picture of the commercial nursery that was my life, but I don't. Just picture it in your head - then multiply it by 3 and you have my freak out.

Anywho - about 2 yrs ago I moved all the kids upstairs into their own rooms (1 for the girls, 1 for Clay) and moved the PC into the 'Study'. In reality, it never really materialized as a "Study". It was really a storage room for our crap and it happened to have our computer in it. Now, I'm determined, it's going to be a bon-i-fide study, with a theme and everything. Of course, Texas Roots. (GT, don't groan! Tony is like 7th generation Texan, and I'm like 6th -- it's a big deal around here. And by 'here', I mean our family.) Hahaha! More to come on that, but for now, it means that what used to be our nice dining room is now holding all the crap that used to be in the 'study'. Chaos abounds.

Well, Landry decided that since Mommy was getting a study, she needed her own study - and she made it herself. She wallowed back to the corner of the dining room and set up next to an old end table, flipped an unused planter over and set up shop. She made a keyboard -- ABC's, left to right and 'boxed'. She has a monitor, a 'mouse', and a chair that she sits on. It's in the corner of the dining room:




I swear - I can't make this up.

And for bonus - I have a quick, funny Clay Story:

Ok - we are in Walmart and I've just paid for all our stuff and then decide I have to Potty. Of course, that means that I have to take the entire cart into the bathroom with us so it won't get jacked. SO - I start winding the cart through the entrance to the bathroom and I hear Clay behind me,

"Mommy - stop! This is the BOY'S bathroom!"

me: "Oh my gosh! Really?" backing the cart up to check the sign... "Clay - oh my gosh, thank goodness you saw that! We can't go in there! What would people say!?!?

Clay: (in his deepest voice) "Hello?"

Almost peed my pants in Walmart. I hope that translates as funny as it actually was!

No groaning here. At least you'll have a nice "study" with an actual theme where we'll still have the "study" where the theme is "how much crap can we fit in here that we don't really need" or "find the path that actual leads to the computer".
If Thad got to pick the theme of ours, it would be Florida Gator's. Yuck...no way am I painting it orange and blue!
Love the pretend study your daughter setup. It's better than ours!
BTW, if you care my blog was hacked awhile ago (twice) and Thad had to find a different blogger platform. Once he did that, it messed up any feeds that had been linked to it. That's why in your blogroll, the last post from me is showing like 5+ wks ago and I've done several blog posts since then. All you need to do is reset it up and it should link again. Again, if you care. :)
