Fishing for Chores!

The house needs to be cleaned. The list is long. Jeff wants to go fishing...

So, we go fishing... fishing for chores!

We get to Lake Benbrook and barely make it out of the marina since the lake is six feet low. Mud and water were spewing EVERYWHERE! We finally make it on to the main lake, and Jeff suggests we fish for chores. We both love competition. This seemed reasonable. Here are the chore brackets:

* Clean the guest bathroom or the master bathroom
* Clean the refrigerator or the oven
* Sweep/mop the kitchen floor or vacuum the carpet
* Dust or empty the dishwasher

So we began... we cast a few times and then the boat jerks. I thought for sure Jeff caught the first fish. I was disappointed. I knew I had the master bathroom to clean now. I tried to smile as I turned and asked, "Fish on?" His response, "Oh, you will know when I have a fish on. I will yell guest bathroom!!" We both had a good laugh and went back to fishing. It was a nice day, beautiful really. We stayed longer than we intended, mostly because we didn't find too many fish to catch, but it didn't matter because we were enjoying ourselves. The overall results were:

Stephanie - master bathroom, refrigerator, sweep/mop kitchen floor, and dishwasher

Jeff - guest bathroom, oven, vacuum the carpet, and dust

As you can tell...I lost. I caught one fish to his two, making the fourth bracket a draw. He finished all his chores before I even finished one! We had a great time being together. We couldn't look at each other all day without cracking up! We got some sun, some play and a clean house!
