So Call me A -Type

IMG_6133

I REALLY hate to nag...Well I hate to be nagged and I assume me nagging someone else has the same effect. So I decided to try a new approach to avoid my nightly recitation of routine responsibilities. And who would have known that the kids actually LOVE their list. No more nagging from Mom...so we are ALL happier. And yes...I think I am a little "A"-type.

  3. This is genius! I don't think it's anal or type A at all - I think it's giving them clear expectations and teaching them good life skills. Bravo! :)

  4. Um...a little? =D I do agree with part of what Cheryl said, that you are giving them clear expectations and teaching them life skills. Hey, if the kids like the idea, then it's all good!

  9. I just love catching up on your posts! So fun! And I'm "A" Type, too. lol

    I'd say these are DEFINITE marketable materials. I'll bet you could make a fortune and retire off of these little babies. ; )

  11. This is great. -Totally up my alley. When my oldest still lived with us in high school (read testosterone grumps) I took to slapping post-its on his bedroom door with things like: "Tidy size THIRTEEN shoes in entry, Sasquatch", -or "Get the dead bodies off the bathroom floor, they scared me half to death", -or even: "Give Mom a hug, she needs it today". It worked like a charm.

  12. I love this! Where'd you get a decal sticker thing like that?
    And I liked the previous comment's post-it note: "Give Mom a hug." I think I might try that one soon!
