- paint and decorate bedroom to be a peaceful and romantic getaway (not done)
- lose 15 pounds (not done)
- I can't even remember #3 or #4 from last year which most likely are (not done)
I plan on transferring the first two to this year's list and I added one more, a family chore chart. Down came the advent calendar and up went the most beautiful family chore chart, in full color and saved to a disk so I can revise and print weekly. The list of rotating chores include:
- vacuum porch rug
- fold socks
- feed and water animals
- collect dirty laundry
- tidy game/school closet
- set and clear lunch table
- help prepare lunch
- collect eggs
- Flylady mission with mom
- put away clean towels and wash cloths
- kitchen duty (supper)
While I prepared this chart in Word, the onlookers remarked, "look what I get to do today", "I can't believe more jobs", "I hate chores", "Why isn't dad's name on the chart?" "Are we starting this next month?" I don't know which I like more, the looks of the full color chart or the potential for a little added help throughout the day?
