Recently, I decided to move my guest room to downstairs because we've using the office more than the guest room, recently. I decided to convert the office to an office/dressing room/library. Since Tayshaun's getting older, he likes to try out website he hears about from the television. And he likes UTube for dance moves. So I've been slowly moving things upstairs.
The guest room has been completely moved but the office is helter skelter. My book shelf needs to be secured before I can start loading it up again, because it's top heavy. So I have files, books, software, baskets, files, etc, etc all over the office space. While Tayshaun's been ill, I've been working from home. That's been a joke. I've had to run upstairs for supplies and downstairs for the PC. And while I've been on the computer, of course, Tayshaun HAS to use the computer. So throughout the day, I get "Mom, are you done yet? Can I get on CartoonNetwork yet?" again, and again, and again.
As I was working, I also noticed that many of my art supplies, colored pencils, etc etc had been test driven by Tayshaun and probably his buddies when they come down to play on the computer. So a little perturbed, I thought about how I was going to avoid the mess for sharing the PC between Me and Te. An idea popped into my head that sounded kind of extravagant to me but then again, there are only two of us sharing this house. Could it be a fancy but good idea? His and her's offices? I've kept my office colorful because #1, I like the colors and #2, for some fun for Tayshaun and as I was thinking about my office/dressing room/library, I had been thinking about maturing it up a bit. Why, yes, I think I got it!
Since there's an unused computer in the upstairs closet just taking up space, and since it's obviously not a priority for Madison to have it, I think I'll give it to Tayshaun for HIS office. Then he can have all his own little game icons messing up his desktop and we can set up his own desk area with his art supplies that are currently in baggies and boxes under his bed and in his cubbies....right there at his fingertips in HIS own office.
So I called for Tayshaun to see what he thought about the idea and of course he was thrilled. I told him about my ideas and he was all for it. I told him it might take a week or two until I could get the other computer set up and purchase a desk for upstairs. We were happy with our decision and I went back to work.
A little later, he runs downstairs, "Mom, are you done yet? Can I get on CartoonNetwork, now?!" And I explained to him that I was still working. So he looked at me with this huge smile and says, "So when you getting out of MY office, Lady!"
