[prayerfull]

HC I woke up on Saturday morning and my house was a mess.
HC I spent my entire Saturday morning cleaning house.
HC I sometimes think my husband and kids think I'm some kind of weekend cleaning and laundry service.
HC the only house chore I absolutely refuse to do is take out trash.
HC I usually stick it out on the back porch by the kitchen and my husband is supposed to take it down to the trash cans.
HC when I opened the back door on Saturday I realized he hasn't taken any trash down for about a week.
HC that really ticked me off.
HC I told him that I had a resolution for this situation.
HC he was like "whatever".
HC I went ahead and did all the housework.
HC I also prepared my husband an incredible dinner saturday night complete with king crab, wine, candlelight, etc.
HC he was thinking he was on top of the world having a wife to clean the house all day and prepare him a romantic feast also.
HC I had something else planned.
HC I told him that I was a little frustrated with doing all the housework.
HC he said that I should go ahead and call a cleaning service to come in once a week.
HC I was like "we're almost thinking on the same page".
HC I told him that I wanted to show him something on the computer before we had dinner.
HC he was like "ok, cool".

HC we went over to the computer and I flipped on a PowerPoint presentation that I had prepared.
HC the presentation was on my new PRICING STRUCTURE.
HC my new Pricing Structure includes financial compensation for all the housework I do as well as other "favors" that do for him (LOL!!!)
HC I had prepared my presentation complete with charts and graphs.
HC my new Pricing Structure also included dinner menus complete with costs.
HC my new Pricing Stucture also included a list of additional "special favors" and the costs.
HC the fees are "effective immediately".
HC my presentation also included opportunities for my husband to earn coupons and bonus points for assisting in housework and performing "special favors" for me.
HC my fees and terms are subject to change upon my discretion.

HC he woke up on Sunday morning and prepared breakfast for the family.
HC he brought me mimosas in bed.
HC he got the kids clothes ready for church, too.
HC he earned a coupon for that!
HC marriage and family has to be about cooperation and teamwork.

HC, ladies, sometimes you have to FLIP THE SCRIPT on 'em.
