Chores, routines and frogs...


What is the difference between chores, routines and frogs?

Well to me a chore is work, a routine is some thing I do regularly and a frog is the thing I dislike doing the most.

And as frogs hop, they can change categories...

Some chores, routines and frogs need to be shared, while other's are often done alone.

For instance the Flag. It has rules to be followed and is some thing that requires at least 2 people to do properly;



Where laundry and changing the sheets can and often is done alone...




And then at the same time it is often done with help...

Some times these chores, routines and frogs can seem awfully large...

they may feel over whelming...

Some times you may need a rest between them to regroup, or to scream into a pillow and eventually move on...



Then if you keep plodding along you reach the end and can look at your accomplishments and progress...finding that some times things match up and some times they don't.
It is our efforts that count.


Breakfast can also be a chore, routine or frog...


This past month, dishes more often than not have been my frog...
I have tried to make them routine, they have been a chore most of the time. So I'm not really sure why or how they have become my frog lately

I may complain about them, but at the same time I thank God for them...
because if you have dirty dishes it means that you had food to eat...
So dirty dishes are a blessing. That, is why I'm trying to change that frog to a different area!
Chores, routines and frogs are not gender specific.
Nor are they confined to season's, location, or time frames...

Some times they are cold hard work...Some times they are enjoyable, and relaxing...some thing to look forward to...
Some times they even look like fun...

In the end, when all is said and done, having accomplished our chores, or our routines and getting that darned old frog out of the way.
We can look around and say it is good.
And we can go play!!

So eat your frog first thing in the morning and the rest of the day will be looking up...
Have a wonderful day!!!
