I had a list of things I was going to do this weekend to catch up on homework and school. The list was,
Term Project for science
4 mile run or hour bike ride
Persuasive
Study Math
Finish Anthem
Memorize lines for play
Catch up on piano
Practice dance for play
Well my mom and another idea. This was the list she gave me Saturday morning:
Weekly Job, Vacuuming, comp. room
Clean Mop boards in bedroom with tooth brush
Clean carpets by mop boards
Dust dressers and desk (only in my room)
Dust shades (only in my room)
Clean light fixtures
Clean window trades
Clean living room mop boards/carpet
Piano technique
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? I did all of it except clean the carpets. It took me all day! I am so mad! Now my mom is telling me that I have to clean our computer room b/c I forgot. I am not Cinderella, even though I feel like her. I was cleaning for my mom for 5 hours. Then I collapsed on the couch for a 2 1/2 hour nap. I took the nap because they woke me up at 8:30! On a Saturday! That means I only got 8 and a half hours of sleep last night. I seriously need 10 on the weekend becuase I get so sleep deprived during the week. So I slaved away for my mom woke up from my nap and it's 4:30. Guess how many things I had done on my list? NONE! I am still in my pajamas, I haven't done any homework, I haven't exercised, and I wish I had another day so that I could do the things on my list! It is so unfair that parents make you do all this stuff for them. I know that they are doing stuff for me every single day and I should be able to do this for them, but I am mad. I think that they could at least let me for get about cleaning the computer room. They won't if I don't clean it I will not be doing anything tonight. Tell me have any of your parents asked you to be a Cinderella before? I don't know of anyone who has parents who would actually ask them to clean and work that much at once. Let alone a kid who would do it like me.

Wow, how do you do it all?
Man, I wish you were here. I have some cleaning that I really need done. :) By they way, you'd better save this so you can give a copy of it to your kids when they complain about the list you give them.
Elizabeth...you should just use your great brain to get Kristin and Emily Miner to do it for you.
Lizzy... just remember that Cinderella did everything she was asked without complaining, and in the end she got a Handsome Prince and some Servants! Just hang in there!
Love ya!
