The Chart

You know how sometimes you wish the Mr. would get up and help?  You wish you had a way of scheduling all of the household chores so that it doesn't feel like the weight is all on your shoulders?  Well, I got tired of feeling that way, so the boy and I had a talk and this is what we came up with...

 After finding the idea from Uniquely Normal, I figured that it would be a great idea to try.  All I did was take scrapbooking supplies, stick glue, scissors, tape, and a pen and threw it together!  It feels great to know that things are more organized.  Definitely a weight off of my shoulder! 

Don't just whip the chores out on your own though!  This is a great tool to open up communication between you and your significant other.  Come up with a list of things that need to be done in the home on a weekly basis, and then decide who does what for the week so that you are both in agreement and no one feels "overwhelmed" or "cheated."  There are some holes in my week due to a long work day, but I make up for the work on Thursday with 4 things!  Make some compromises!  It will definitely pay off in the end!
