Houston ....... We Have a Problem ...... Come In Houston!!

~ WE ~ HAVE ~ A ~ PROBLEM ~

Finally --- Here we are .... Friday morning and today is PAYDAY for Mr. Nicholas!!!

Well --- after the week started out SOOOO well, Tuesday's Civil Rights project threw a wrench into things ......

Since Nick and I proceeded to spend ALL EVENING on the project ..... his Tuesday evening chores were neglected ..... thus ...... a FROWN face and MINUS $3 !!! (sorry Charlie .... but no free passes are given around here .... NOT EVEN FOR HOMEWORK)

Wednesday ..... Couldn't get on track ....... the trash sat in the kitchen trash can all evening until the stench got so bad even Andy was holding his nose .......... and Mr. Walker had to holler from the basement bathroom for toilet tissue to be delivered since the cabinet had NOT been stocked as planned ......... another FROWN face and MINUS another $3 !!!!

Then along came Thursday ...... and THREE WAS NOT NICK'S CHARM!!!
Dust Your Bedroom ---- NOT DONE
Sweep Your Bathroom Shower Area ---- NOT DONE
Clean Both Sinks in Your Bathroom w/Cleaner ---- NOT DONE

Another FROWN face and this time MINUS $4 ......... Just thought I would make it a bit more painful on the 3rd day !!!

BUT --- apparently the DEPRESSING total of $10 for the week was enough to SHOCK him back into reality .....

FRIDAY = SMILEY FACE !!!!

So --- $10 was awarded -- Which I feel certain will be squandered tomorrow at SIX FLAGS !!!

BUT --- Next week ---- we will try a NEW approach ..... As of tomorrow (Saturday) morning, Mr. Nick's total will be $0 and each day he will have to do his chores in order to EARN his pay ..... NO FREE RIDES HERE !!!

~ Maybe that approach will be a bit more ~
