Stay-At-Home parents have an ally in Adam, who struggles to raise
three kids, keep the place clean, get office work done, and get
on-line as often as possible
Adam and Laura had everything worked out. Each morning, Laura left
for her high-paying executive career while Adam stayed home in his
sweats to take care of the kids, Clayton, Katy, and Baby Nick. It
was the good life for Adam: mornings with morning TV, hours spent
cruising the Internet, episodes of Barney with Nick, and a few
brief trips during the day for a double tall nonfat mocha or a
meeting of his books-made-into-movies discussion group.
As the holidays approached, however, Adam hit on a new business
idea: He would hire himself out as a Christmas-letter writer making
those impersonal letters even more impersonal. Cozy in his flannel
shirt, Adam set about transforming his home office into an
appropriately festive environment. But when Laura is unexpectedly
downsized on Christmas Eve, the pair have whole new set of
quandaries. Why does Laura need to use "Adam's" computer? When was
the last time anyone cleaned the house? How will they share the
laundry room-turned-home office?
In this "Adam" collection, "Bless This Home Office," cartoonist
Brian Basset features his endearingly funny characters who
epitomizea "in their own unique waysa "the joys and challenges of
contemporary family life. From baby-food-stained evening wear to
fear of finances, from long family walks to computer-generated
friendships, "Adam" portrays the humorous realities of raising a
family while juggling commitments, careers, and community. Through
it all, Adam and Laura keep a sense of perspective and a giant dose
of family-oriented fun.
"Bless This Home Office" appeals to the millions of fans who count
on Adam's singularly amusing approach to life, especially as the
number of people who work at home continues to rise. Whether
they're stay-at-home dads or moms, whether they're home-based
workers or corporate cogs, whether they've been a parenta "everyone
will enjoy this truly funny book.
