Chores

Did you have a list of daily chores when you were a kid?  Garbage on Tuesday, clean your room on Saturday morning, wash dishes after dinner every other night, yada yada yada.

Well, we really fell down on our chores through the holidays.  Our place is pretty small and doesn't take much to clean.  But like any other, if you ignore stuff then it gets dingy and dusty and a bit cluttered.

So we've listed out the daily chores, two per evening.  We each take one every day after we get home from work.  In barely 30 minutes a day, we're gradually getting things cleaned up and getting back in the habit of keeping it that way.

I enjoy a clean house, but I hate doing the work to keep it clean.  Pam is the same way.  But keeping up on the house cleaning stuff during the week means the weekends are wide open for anything we want to do.

And that's got to be a good thing, right?
