So, if you're anything like me, you've been feeling a little overwhelmed with everything at home. The laundry, and dishes, and clutter everywhere.....and now everyone is home, all the time. We're a family of 5 + a dog. There are a lot of dishes to wash these days. Not as much laundry, which I'm thankful for, but I think that means we're not wearing/changing clothes as much! Oh well! You'd also think that being home all the time with nowhere to go and nothing to do, my house would be super clean and organized. HA! Nope! It's not.
But today was a good day. Mom busted out the chore chart!
I decided these kids need to do some chores and I need them to help me. They did, and I really appreciated it. Now if we could just keep doing it on a consistent basis. I'm good for a few days or so, then we all start slacking. I need some kind of accountability to keep us going. I have a magnetic chore chart that I bought a while ago, but haven't been using lately. It's ready to be filled out! I'm not going to set crazy rules, just that all the chores need to get done. And after a week is done, we'll talk about an allowance.
Now if I could get us back on some sort of schedule, time wise. Right now, we all stay up too late. And then some of us sleep in too late and the others just don't get enough sleep (me usually). Maybe that's something to think about and make a plan.
Until next time! Take care!
