and on the note would be a list of everything she wanted us to do around the house.

My typical chores would be vacuuming the living room and the dining room. Cleaning the main bathroom (my mom had her own in our last house in VA), washing dishes, doing the laundry (which included hanging the clothes on the line AND bringing them back in and folding them so I would have to wash EARLY), and watching my sister (if that's a chore which it was because she was hyper).

But it could change any day, so I'd have to read these notes she'd post on our door every morning because if we assumed what we had to do, and she'd come in and say "you didn't dust this like I said" we'd be in trouble.
