Chore Charts ATLAST!

I know you are like" Jama, have you lost your mind". This morning I had an epiphany as I was driving to the laundry mat, there are so many things that I forget to do on a daily basis. I am not talking about the usual things that are on a chore chart, and not the kind of items that are rewarded with a sticker. The premise of a chore chart is to teach us to do the things that need to be done daily/weekly, i.e. vacuuming, picking up your room, taking out the trash. The funny thing is this should be things we do automatically. I was thinking though there should be a whole mess of things I do automatically that I forget all the time. I need to exercises daily, I need to read to my child, I need to snuggle with my husband, ok you are thinking again, and this time you are thinking "Jama, now no one should have to remind you of these things." No, they really shouldn't have to. Since I have decided to put my family and personal spirituality at the forefront of my life I need a new "Chore Chart", not just to do the little things that sometimes get swept by the wayside but to do somethings that will prepare me to be in a place where I no longer have to look down and make sure I am putting one foot in front of the other on the right path. So here goes a sneak peak at my list, feel free to steal my idea of a chore chart for life( or any of my "chores").

1. Wake up before the children(okay I do realize this will not always happen) spend sometime on my yoga, and bs study

2. Pray OUT LOUD daily ( this is to myself, OUT LOUD so that I can practice being comfortable with the fact that others may hear me(I am often called on to pray at MOPS or in our leadership meetings)

3. Touch my husband at least 5 times( ok and for me I have to do the touching(we are not speaking sexually either)I have to touch him lovingly at least 5 times a day, kissing, hugging, hand holding, letting him know that he is my thoughts throughout the day.

4. Read with my children, Jackson never used to sit still and let me read to him and now he can't get enough and I love every moment, but sometimes I am in such a rush to get him to bed because I had a rough day.

5. Call my family, sometimes I can go almost a week without talking to them and life is just to short, even if it is just to day" hi "I am going to call.
