Our household has a slight imbalance when it comes to Testosterone. Currently it is 4 Testosterone bodies versus 1 Estorgen. And seeing as 3 of those 4 Testosterone bodies are all still minors, there are just some things you need to learn to work around. One of those things is to find everything that needs to go back into the school bag to school! After a school library book went “missing” for about 3 weeks, I had to make a plan.
You might not believe me but it is actually much easier than you think to lose a book in my “kinda ocd tidy – I know where everything is” house. So, in order to solve my problem I had a few choices:
- Put trackers on every item needed for school (my budget doesn’t allow this)
- Mess up my house to find the missing books (no OCD person, even if you only have it slightly, will ever agree to this)
- OR as any creative person would do….make one dumping point for all the school goods! (much better sounding idea as I didn’t have to choose from the first two options….rescue remedy avoided!)
It didn’t take very long for me to get an idea of what I wanted and I had the perfect wall to mount my new “Dump It Station”.
In order to get this new station made I needed to rope in the adult Testosterone in my house. So with one Testosterone body and one Estrogen body we set off to by all the materials.
Disclaimer: Yet again this post comes with very little pictures as when we made this I didn’t think I was going to share “how to make it” on a blog.
Our materials list was simple:
- 3 containers for school books and supplies
- Hooks (preferably 2 per child)
- Wood to mount the containers onto
- Nice big bolts to attach it to the wall (Testosterone body sorted this out for me)
We used Bashew crates* and went to our local wood yard to find rustic looking wood pieces. In order to get the piece to look like I wanted we needed to attach the crates to the wood before we attached it to the wall.
*for my overseas readers, any drinking bottle crates like Coke or Pepsi will work
As much it is great to make things on my own, there are just some things that are more enjoyable with my best friend next to me. It also doesn’t hurt that he has much more muscle than I have, as the wood was pretty heavy!
I think though the best part of making this was my littlest testosterone filled body telling me that I must please stand away as he will be helping his Dad build this with his tools!
So when you have a testosterone problem are getting messy, get creative…..BUILD A “DUMP IT STATION”
