And I always clean my kitchen counter off first and then it's cluttered again by that night and I feel like I have to have that one clean all the time. So it's the only thing that gets cleaned.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925702734648552635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163638880904581094.post-37590844754157692822011-09-21T08:44:44.335-06:002011-09-21T08:44:44.335-06:00What was that quote stuck on someone's frig? ...What was that quote stuck on someone's frig?

And job charts for morning, and . . . okay. I'm a mom like you and have tried everything you have. It also helps to make a list of what you want accomplished, then have the kids pick one or two jobs from the list. They have to finish their first choice before they can make their second choice, making it a good idea to get the first choice job done pronto.Konniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319106853535002298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163638880904581094.post-78299840928137138502011-09-20T22:08:42.104-06:002011-09-20T22:08:42.104-06:00I really like that idea!

It works really well....better than anything else I've tried because otherwise there are always those who are just a little better and faster at cleaning and it's those same somebody's that get bitter and angry in the end when they realize they've done it all ;)Sundi @ The Life of a Cheap Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487769555197139967noreply@blogger.com
