August Review and Reflection

August 31, 2016 thecfomom6 Comments

While I purposely did not make any goals for August, I thought I would go ahead and write a review post on how the month went. Overall, there are two important things I can celebrate that happened this month! First, I didn’t get fired or quit, but actually got a nice raise. Second, I didn’t go over… Continue reading August Review and Reflection

The Universe Doesn’t Want Me to Have a Phone

August 27, 2016August 27, 2016 thecfomom6 Comments

Yesterday I received my replacement phone. It was literally shipped over night and waiting for me when I returned from a long day of working 8:30am-6:30pm. Instead of setting it right away, I did some chores and took bath (shout out to the husband that took the kids out for the evening so I could enjoy a few… Continue reading The Universe Doesn’t Want Me to Have a Phone

August Spending

August 26, 2016 thecfomom5 Comments

This month has been quite expensive with planned and unplanned purchases.Last weekend, I finally visited the eye doctor to figure out why my left eye has been irritating me.

Although it will be reevaluated after a year, I am happy that I can plan for at least one more year of employment. And that isn’t the great news. I also was blessed to receive a 20% raise! How… Continue reading Great News!

Update

August 15, 2016 thecfomom4 Comments

Well, I am still employed. As it stands now, human resources decided not to demote or require me to go to full time. It is still a crazy situation that seems to have been prompted by my request to increase my hours! I have a feeling that they will still try to force me to… Continue reading Update

August Goals

August 3, 2016 thecfomom11 Comments

On the first of each month, I typically list out my goals for the next 30 or 31 days. Somehow I just can’t get myself to do it. With regards to my employment, I am still waiting for an official response. I have received verbal confirmation that I will not be demoted as previously thought, but… Continue reading August Goals
