Private calls, important discussions, correction and all those other things that are best done in private are are a bit of a challenge in the Crowded House. Facing this reality the bathroom has officially become my office...and I am trying to make the best of it through humor. So far my best moment in the 'office' was an angry and defiant older kid falling into the claw foot tub where they were perched for a time-out conference. The slip broke the tension beautifully and reminded both of us that we needed to work together to get through this season of making due.

Forget the Man Cave. You need a Mom Cave. Actually, we could all use one, now that I think about it...
kudos to you for not falling to the ground and remaining there, whimpering, in the fetal position. We're all very impressed, to say the least.
You are doing so great - I wish I had half of your sense of humor. My "office" is the laundry room - lots of important things happen there.

Crowded House: let's see..."Hey now, hey now, don't dream, it's over...." hahaha. Just kidding. I've always felt the bathroom was the perfect spot to remonstrate with children and take my own time outs....
