Craft Room or Crap Room

Right now mine's a Crap Room (I won't shock, scare you with photos for now).  I saw a piece on the Early Show where they renovated a Crap Room into a beautiful Mom Cave. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? After all, men go to work all day and then need a cave to escape to and relax. Hmmm.... what's wrong with this picture? Moms get up early and get the kids off to school, work either in or outside the home, pick up the kids, volunteer at school, fix dinner, do laundry, clean, etc. Why should they need an escape. Now before you all get your panties or tighty whities in a wad, I realize that some men help out at home too, but I hear more from the moms who do everything. Besides, everyone knows that women are better multitasking managers. Who do you think tells the men what needs to be done around the house? Yeah, I know they mow the lawns and fix stuff, but again, who reminds them? This may sound sexist, but I don't think gender roles really haven't changed that much since I was a kid. But I digress...

The Mom Cave designer was awesome. Her philosophy, "Better to redecorate than medicate." Check out her videos.

So, I'm not a traditional mom. To borrow from one of the 4 Bitchin' Babes, "I don't have any of my own kids, I'm a teacher, so I get them in bulk." Ok, so I'm not a traditional classroom teacher either, but I am an academic advisor, and advising is teaching. Oh, and I have a fur child, named Jack.



And a frog family that lives under my back porch.
