Cleaning Schedule

Our life needs some more routine. Thing just dont get done because we are so busy running in circles or getting involved with life we are not getting everything we want to get done in a day. So while I have tried for a long time to come out with a doable schedule I havent. So again I went out to the blog world and looked at what other mom's are doing.

Thou Shall Obey

We are going through a rough time with many eyes watch and each set of eyes has their own rules. Well between that and many people coming at Lily at the same time for the same offense I have decided to come up with our If/Then chart. It was harder than I expected so I went out in to the blog land I love so and found one that fit us and stole from it.

IF

Haughty Expression (Sassy)

IF
Unwilling to play by self

THEN
Isolation and Loss of TV
Mark 6:31 Jesus said come off by yourself. Let's take a break and get a little rest for those was constantly coming and going.
