and know when to fold ’em. And, people, I am so folding!
See this?
This is my office. Or rather, it will soon be known as The Area Formerly Known As My Office. TAFKAMO.
I love it, don’t get me wrong. I chose the sleek IKEA desk with red legs, I made those lovely bright file holders on top of the shelf. I made that little corner my own.
And for some reason, EVERYONE in the house wants to use MY computer. My boys (that’s my youngest there) love to play Minecraft on my computer. My boys’ friends come over and play Minecraft on MY computer. My husband uses my computer. Never mind he has his own desk and computer:
Although it’s now become The Electronic Dumping Ground. TEDG. I can’t say it.
My oldest has his own computer, my dad’s old laptop. Does he use it? No. Mama’s computer is so much better. It’s like food, they don’t ever want what’s on their plate but I sit down to eat and within 2 minutes one or two little monkeys will be sniffing around, asking for a bite.
So you know what? I’m Claudia, and I’m taking over 😀 my husband’s desk. I’m going to work with what is there. Which means, first, I will be taking everything off the surfaces, giving it a good cleaning, and then sorting through everything before I decide what gets put back, and where. I have plans for this little corner. My first project for 2013, I’m so psyched!!!

Furita
yeah, it’s huge both with his buddies from our street and at school, he wants a Minecraft birthday party LOL
Good luck with reclaiming some computer space of your own! Visiting from Katherine’s Corner.
thanks!, I can’t wait to get started!
Now I’ll be wondering how long it will take for the husband to recognize how great his space was… and then followed by the kids who see a new pretty spot to hang out in. ha. 🙂 Ahhh… the life of Mom. But at least you are making spaces prettier as you go. 🙂
Oh I know, I should be picking out my NEXT office space – happy holidays, chicka!!!
Hi Claudia,
I am sure you are going to do a great job with your husband’s desk! Thanks for co-hosting and have a happy holiday season.

Hi, Claudia
Stop by the blog hop for Katie Corner and enjoyed looking around your lovely blog and I am a new follower. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hugs,
Vanessa
Thank you Vanessa, I’m following you as well. I miss my dad, too, holidays are so bittersweet since he died. Wishing you happy holidays!
Hi Claudia! Following from Katherine’s Corner blog hop. I know what you mean…everyone has their own, but they want yours…go figure! 🙂 Have a great day!
Thank you for visiting – yes, mama’s stuff is always better than their own, sheesh 😀 happy holidays!
LOL I can so relate to you from this post. This time last year I cleaned up the spare bedroom/junk room for my husband to have his own space so that I could have my own space. A year later he is using the dining room table. My space is still my space, but I do have an iPad that is formerly my iPad. LOL to the food. When my son was a toddler and didn’t want to eat. I would go sit somewhere with his plate and pretend it was mine. That’s how I got him to eat. Visiting via KC blog hop. Nice to meet you.
Seriously, right??? I know as soon as I re-do this desk it’s going to be taken over so I should probably start plotting the NEXT place I’m going to take for myself LOL – happy holidays!
Good Luck with the desk take over! =)
I’m a new follower from the hop, thanks for hosting!
