I am very much Suzi wrt cleaning the house.
ION, today I am also making weekly responsibility charts. good times. They include definitions of chore, responsibility, favor, bonus, privileges, and consequences. Trying to build on the idea that responsibilities & chores are just the normal stuff that has to get done. Above that is favors, things done out of kindness and bonuses, things done for reward (usually cash).
Without Chores and Responsibilities being met to a certain level Privileges will be lost, and below a certain level, there will be addition Consequences.
I feel like we've gone back to Kindergarten.
On the upside, I bought myself a awesome set of Sharpies to use for color-coding the charts.
I am still sick, but you guys maybe right. I am still going to borrow my sister's nice coat and carry-one bag, because I don't have either. I might wear mom's earrings just to have a connection to my mom while I'm there.
She make me irrational; thanks for pulling me back from the edge (STILL glad I lost 40 pounds though; THAT petty ain't going away!) I will go, be gracious, be helpful and spend time being awesome in a natural way. You're right; being worried about projecting the right image is HER gig, not mine.
Thanks.
I am supposed to be making lunch. Instead, I am so tired I can not get up.
Erin, I don't think it's petty. AND I totally get it.
Today/tonight involves two different holiday parties. The first one is friends who are extended family, and I get to see my adorable niece-by-proxy (who is almost THREE, what the hell), and the second one is the boozy raucous one with the metalheads that Pete plays D&D with. They are also adorable, and almost done recording their EP.
I would like to decorate the outside (with two whole light strings), but I can't figure out the electricity issue.
If it's not too late, the answer at my parents' house is a converter that screws into the porch light socket and turns into an electric outlet.
I am so tired from shopping! But I think I am now DONE. I waited in the longest line possible at the Gap to get one pair of $10 gloves, but I had Donald Glover on WTF to entertain me, so it wasn't that bad. Just ridiculous.
Just started watching bath crashers, inspired from here. They're so lucky to have abundant parking for all the delivery and crew trucks at their "surprise" destination!
You are a total fun stealer! But I can see them including that in an on-site selection process, along with the people being strong and attractive and having a shitload of space to work with.
Without Chores and Responsibilities being met to a certain level Privileges will be lost, and below a certain level, there will be addition Consequences.
If only I could do that to myself.
oh and I just added a Manners section.

Msbelle, I think your charts are great.
