**We had a LOOOOONG weekend. I didnā€™t do any house work friday evening or saturday. I try to do only minimal or light housework on sunday. So today and tomarrowā€¦I will be raking in the points. šŸ˜ƒ **
**Thanks for the points for logging points! šŸ˜ƒ **
 
I forgot to log stuff for a few days but Iā€™m back today competing. I had a full load of stuff to do today but I woke with a headache and have so far been laying around nursing my toddler and playing on the bed. But sheā€™s napping now so I better get to it, headache or not!!!

**I say rest today! Headaches are never fun. Besides you get ā€œkiller pointsā€ for nursing. Just log all the nursings and diaper changes, throw in some laundry and make dinner and you are pretty near the five hundred mark! Take it easyā€¦being a mom is hard workā€¦and youā€™re the only one your child has. Iā€™m sure heā€™d like to have you around a while. Rest, especially when you are hurting is necessary. Take it slow today. šŸ˜‰ **
**Maybe Liza, we should add napping for all those hard working moms and dads, and spouses. I mean, getting a hardworking mom or dad, or anyone for that matter, to get some needed sleep is a quite a chore šŸ˜‰ I know it takes alot to get my husband to rest. Maybe if they got points for doing it, they might be more likely to ā€œget it done!ā€ šŸ˜ƒ **
 
I maxed out??? I didnā€™t get around to putting my chores in for yesterday, so I (name removed by moderator)ut them today (using the I did it yesterday option) along with some of the chores I have done today. I didnā€™t get a chance to put in all of the chores for today because it said I did over 8 hours of work. I would hope so since it was two days worth of stuffā€¦ It refused to let me enter more than 500 XP of stuff. But should I just save that stuff for tomorrow and try to remember it all? Donā€™t these people know I have Mommy Brains? šŸ˜ƒ
 
Thatā€™s the idea behind the 500 point limit? That you donā€™t do more than 8 hours of work? Hahahahahaha. Do the people who write this program have small kids?
 
Sorry ladies, but I just want you to know that I wonā€™t be signing up. Iā€™d hate to embarrass you with the amount of work I do around the house.

Heck I hired a pool man so my wife wouldnā€™t have to clean the pool. And I taught my daughter how to take the trash out to the curb. I even purchased a riding lawnmower for my lovely wife that matches her summer outfits so while she is sweating, at least she looks good.

Not to mention most of the work I got to list was nursing the baby and homeschooling. As if I cannot multitask! šŸ¤· Ah well, Iā€™ll just be happy with maxing out and wonā€™t bother trying to list more.

**Iā€™m just a SAHW not a SAHM and I max out every time. I can only imagine what you must do. šŸ˜ƒ **
**I just add it on for days I didnā€™t record, or allow it to be ā€œrewarded otherwiseā€ šŸ˜‰ **

Exactly! Most of the time Iā€™m awake Iā€™m doing something from the ā€œAdventuresā€ list, and Iā€™m awake more than Iā€™d like to be :yawn: .

Does it help to say that you did the chore yesterday? Thereā€™s an option to do that. Perhaps that will spread the points for you.
 
I am loving this! When I saw this thread, I went and started up a team on another message board Iā€™m on. Itā€™s really ridiculously motivating!

Did anyone read the testimonial from the girl with a house full of 6 male and 2 female roommates? She said that it worked like magic - the guys were all running around, cleaning, because it had become competitive. :lol

I think this sort of thing will be great when the boys are a little older. Iā€™d set it up to tie into real life rewards, like gold pieces corresponding to pocket money, treasures being stackable and redeemed for things, and declaring weekly/monthly winners of specific rewards.

Strangely enough, that doesnā€™t help. The max is 500 pts claimed IN one day, not FOR one day. Just write down the things you do on a piece of paper, and enter them the next day. Thatā€™s what I did when we had computer trouble.

Whoever created Decluttering, thank you!!! Now maybe Iā€™ll get round to it!

**Yeahā€¦its a 24 hour time clock. šŸ¤· Too bad children, spouses, pets, and houses canā€™t tell time. ā€œOK everyoneā€¦itā€™s been exactly 8 hours and I am done for the day. No more food, nor more clean clothes, no more homework help, let the dishes pile up and the kids, pets, and house go crazy. I am done for the day!ā€ Yeah right! Youā€™d need to log in for three days worth of work if you did that. :rolleyes: :o **

**Maybe you parents should make a second account for your second full time job! Iā€™ve considered itā€¦and I donā€™t even have kidsā€¦:o **
