Mini Command Station

31 January 2016


Ok so I am on a mission to get organised and stay that way, so I have started working on my Family command station.  Now I have decided to do it on the side of the fridge - we are in a rental and I can't put things in the wall.
So I started with a calendar that has a spot for each member of the family and a command hook to stick it to the fridge so that we can see what is coming up and where everybody is.  Life is only going to get busier with the start of the new school year so I need to feel like I am on top of it all - in reality I'm not and will be a hot mess by the end of Feb!!!!!!
Ok so back to the command centre I also got a mesh caddy from office works so that pens, pencils and highlighters can be kept there, I al ready have items highlighted on the calendar and it is in a spot that can be seen by everybody - on the door as you open it, my first thought was to put it on the side but then it occured to me the only time you would see it was when you put stuff in the bin

Hi friends sorry I have been absent for a few days, have been trying to get signed off fit for returning to work.  It is really hard because I can't return to work unless it is 5 days a week ( as stated in my contract), the Dr said three days a week with a couple of restrictions so I am back to the Drs to get signed off as fully fit, and it is getting me down because I want to work, I want to improve myself ( there is no incentive to go back and study as I need to be able to work and I can't do it at night) so it is really getting me down.
I keep thinking why do my hubby and I have to struggle - we have done it for 11 years, when is it our turn to be able to have a bit of money behind us and not have to scrimp and save only to get it wiped out.
I guess it happens to everybody, wanting a better life, when is it our turn to get ahead?, which makes me wonder how do those who are well off get there and keep their wealth?, what did they have to sacrifice to get there and are they happy?.  I was once told when money comes in the window loves go out the door which makes me wonder do I want that much money that it makes me miserable?.
How do people do it on one wage?  and on the one wage why does society look down on SAHM, that is the one thing I found that I was not appreciated ( by society) and was looked down on because I was a SAHM ( and now that I am working I am finding that I am slightly miserable, my house is a mess and I am feeling guilty all of the time).
