Binder geeks club?


Okay so we have had so many meetings this week it is WILD. I don't know how people do this FRG Leader thing when they have kids. I just keep thinking wow...I should have done this like Beth....before I had kids! But that isn't quite true...because Beth had MY kids while she was an FRG Leader! :) Anywho we were at this training/meeting for the brigade, and this woman shares that the way her hubby "takes care of her" while he is gone is he makes a binder....which has every type of help he could give her. Bills, car stuff, friends of his that could help, if the lawn mower doesn't start, try this... all sorts of stuff. Then she says .....he is a binder freak.....he makes binders for EVERY occassion. I look at her and say with massive adoration in my eyes......your husband and I could TOTALLY be friends! :) I too am a binder geek. I made binders for all the point of contacts, the secretary, the newsletter girl, the translator girl, the compassionate service team, the activities committee, I made a binder that has all the soldier info, I have my FRG Leader binder, I have my spouse battle book binder....you name it I have a binder for it.....I even have a binder of all my love letters from Pres, some aren't letters just notes....he writes some sweet stuff, but doesn't do it ALL the time, so I savor every bit of it. :) ARE ANY OF YOU BINDER GEEKS?

um . . . what's a binder? Yeah that would describe my need and usage of said binders. I have a few. Some have papers shoved in them but not organized and they usually fall out. I have them because that is what you are supposed to have when you are the Primary Pres. The last Primary Pres. gave me the most beautifully organized binder I felt so guilty taking it from her, knowing it would never be the same after me.

What have we been up to?
