all work and no play...

kevin and i both work full-time.  we have the same 9/80 schedule (he goes in later and drops lily off...i go in earlier and pick lily up...but we both work 9-hour days and have the same fridays off), but sometimes it seems we are not on the same schedule when it comes to the house.  we can be masters at putting a chore off f-o-r-e-v-e-r, just because.  maybe we're hoping our fairy godmother will swoop in and clean for us (as a girl raised on disney, i am trained to dream and believe in the impossible).  to that end, i've decided we need a chore chart.  with stickers.  something that will hold us accountable for what needs to be done, will stare us in the face, and something with a little positive reinforcement.  like putting a sticker on the completed chore, and so many stickers = an extra date night or something.  i don't know.  i do know i work best with incentive, so it seems only logical to apply this to the things i hate doing.  like chores.
