While Kate is working hard to put chicken on our grill and books on my shelves I am working hard to keep Finn alive and our house relatively clean. These are both easily measurable tasks that we have and since there are 10 new books and a perfectly healthy baby boy I'd say we are doing pretty good. Well Kate is definitely, but some of my daily house cleaning tasks sheets have been a few check marks shy of complete. The thing is that it's mostly Kate's fault not mine. I mean it is my fault for sure, I'm the one that is responsible for the tasks it's just that Kate is easily fooled into thinking I have done a full days work. Let me give you a little example with the list below. On the Left is the accomplished task and on the right is Kate's response to said accomplishment (or lack there of):
- Not doing anything Highly agitated
- Cleaning the front room only Agitated
- Cleaning the front, library, dining Mildly agitated
- Making the bed Happy
- Doing the dishes Happy
- Making bed and doing dishes Ecstatic
- Cleaning the whole house+dishes+made bed Ecstatic
- Doing the laundry What's better the ecstatic?
