Cave's

What started out as a funny quip quickly turned to an illogical reality. I've been setting up my own knitting room, fully furnished with couch, chairs, tables, storage, wine and beverage (Guinness) fridge. I put up some old curtains last night to hide the laundry room and stairway from view at which point Eric pointed out that I had made myself quite a nice cave. I retorted "yeah, it's my 'mom' cave." laughs ensued as did remarks that I should blog about it...etc...So in preparation for such blog I thought I'd conduct a bit of an experiment and I googled 'man cave'. I got dictionary responses such as...A room, space, corner or area of a dwelling that is specifically reserved for a male person to be in a solitary condition, away from the rest of the household in order to work, play, involve himself in certain hobbies, activities without interruption. This area is usually decorated by the male that uses it without interference from any female influence.~ Urban Dictionary.

I also got lay outs and plans on how to build and stock the ultimate 'man hideaway'. Now google 'mom cave' hmmmmm, couple blogs using the term loosely (just like me), google 'woman cave' this was actually pretty funny it gave me lists of things relating to cave women!! nice.

Apparently, we don't need a refuge. We don't need any where to rest without interruption, without influences of any one else. again, nice. Women don't need time to recoup, we don't need to involve ourselves in activities that don't involve the entire household. Trust me my 'mom cave' still has a children's corner, I can only fight the inevitable so much, they might as well play with their own toys instead of mine! I'm lucky enough to have a husband that understands the importance of me time. Wonder when the rest of society will come out of the stone age.
