Thursday Thirteen – HOUSEWORK

I am so far behind in housework it’s not even funny. The floors are disgusting (you know it’s really bad when you “crunch” with one step and stick with the next). The laundry is sitting in the dryer from yesterday. Bathtubs and showers are starting to talk back. Jacob is using the dust to practice his writing. And I am trying to replace the doorknobs upstairs…I’ve taken them out but have yet to put all the new ones in.

When I got up this morning, I put all the things that needed to be done on little pieces of paper and the plan is for Jake and Emma to help me get as much stuff done as I can. I’ll give them a choice of 2 or 3 chores and ask them to choose 1. Once that chore is done, we’ll play. Then we’ll start the whole process over again.

This is everything on my To-Do List (with an extra 5 for your reading pleasure) and I’ll be updating all day to show what actually got done so be sure to check back.

Because nothing is more exciting than my To-Do List, right?
