quick & easy job chart

Well, of course it snowed.

Because Christmas is over, and it would make too much sense to snow before Christmas??

I’m a little bitter today…because it’s BITTER cold outside, I’m still trying to get Christmas down, my new years resolutions aren’t going so hot, and we started on the upstairs’ bathrooms over the break and they are just sitting waiting for me to finish peeling the wallpaper borders.

Blasted projects~who thought they were a good idea anyway?

But this little profile?? How can you be bitter when you see that?

Kids were fighting about whose turn it was to set what on the table last night and I yelled, “enough!”

and right then and there made the kind of chore chart my mom had when we were young with the little wheel.

Except ours was yellow and red back then.

Before dinner and then after dinner jobs. For the whole month, then we turn the wheel. Anyone complaining will have to….to…..well I’ll think of something really BAD. Like fishing pieces of plastic fork out of the disposal when there’s slimy noodles and vegetables in there.

Easy as pie (get it?):

Print off a pie chart onto cardstock: here is a blank one I uploaded.

Write jobs in fun markers.

Take another piece of paper and write names on outside paper around the wheel.

put a brad through the middle. This was a cute one I had left over from my scrapbooking days, but I’m sure your kids have an art project from school you could snag one from?

And that’s it. I laminated mine (I have this laminator from Amazon’s gold box deals a few years back), but of course you don’t have to.

 

Go get ‘em.

I’m going to go release myself from bitter bondage~
