Morning jobs

I've been trying to teach Kat some responsibility lately.  
So every morning, she has a job to do.  She always has to make her bed.
And then, if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean, she must unload those.
She has to do these things before she can play or watch a show.
And of course, she always has to pick up her toys and put her things away.
I guess I'm attempting to teach her how to have a strong work ethic.
Some days she is more willing than others.  And some days I am more patient than others.

She has helped clean her bathroom a couple of times.  Growing up, that was always my job.
Cleaning all of the bathrooms.  Today, I consider myself an expert bathroom cleaner.
I distinctly remember my mother's homemade cleaning concoctions.  They did the trick every time.
Usually, I give Kathryn the job of cleaning the counter or the mirrors.  
But on this particular day, she really wanted to clean the bathtub.  And she did a pretty good job.
QOTD:  How long do you scrub mommy?  Do you scrub for like three hours?
Something like that, right?
