Organization still isn't happening.

Well, another month has gone by and I have fallen off the organization wagon. In trying to get back on, I have gone through many emotions, the most prominent being anger. Anger over why am I the only one who seems to worry about my crappy lack of organization and why does my family not help.

And so, the chore chart was born. It all happened because my dishwasher is leaking, rendering it useless. And although I am busy doing stuff all weekend, like painting my house and going to class, no one else around the house seems to think dishes need to be washed in my absence. My husband and son also think the laundry fairy comes and puts their clean clothes away. They haven't yet figured out that I am the Laundry Fairy.

I decided to let the cat out of the bag. It was kinda like finding out there is no Santa Claus. I didn't have the heart to actually sit them down and present their new "chore chart." So I just simply posted it. Imagine my surprise when my husband actually completed his chores. He accepted that there is no Laundry Fairy.

My next goal, now that I am not the only one cooking dinner, is to make a menu and shopping list to eliminate extra shopping trips and having to figure out what I am cooking when I get home. Looking for cheap and easy recipes, feel free to leave me a comment with your ideas.
