On the list of things that make me smile are these two things: Making my own bread and smiling children vacuuming my floors. I've got a batch in the oven right now, on it's final proof, and if anyone is interested I will share my white bread recipe. So there's that, and then there is the mental image of Harrison being so excited to vacuum the rug that he laughed the whole time. My children do chores - I know some may think they are too young, but at least they help. The key to having kids do chores is lowering your expectations. I don't care if their laundry is perfectly folded. At least I didn't have to do it. Yeah, I am lazy. I can't help it. I am here alone with them, no extra pair of hands taking out the trash or picking up the crap that piles up like snowdrifts in the corners of the room or the couch. Everybody has chores, and for the most part, they get done. It keeps me sane, and isn't the goal here to keep me from running down the road screaming?
