My mother loved to have fun and shake things up a bit. “Instead Day” would be declared at least once a month. There an instead jar that was filled with chores and activities. We were faces with the opportunity to do what Mom had offered or choose from the jar. Once you chose from the jar you HAD to do whatever you had picked instead.
September 20th is my personal “Instead Day”. Bro and my husband each got to put 3 chores or activites in the jar. I have no idea what are on their slips. I got to put in six, because I have to complete the tasks. The odds seem to be in my favor that I will have the best chance of completing something I want to do or I know needs to be done. However, we are introducing a new twist to see if it makes things more interesting.
This evening I will post the known chores against the instead cards and you will get to go down the poll and pick one or the other. I have to abide by the decisions made by those who can take the pole. Obviously the three of us have no way to playing in poll. (I am not sure I can come out a winner, and at least my day might be different.
I have linked this to my blog and I assume most of the participants will come from there, still here is your chance to play along. This evening I will post a planned choice or pick from the jar.
You either pick the chore or the card.

Going for a walk sounds like the best thing!
In about 15 minutes I will know my fate for the day!
what a cool idea your mother had. Instead, you will be cleaning the garage! I love it! Seems like a lot of fun.
I’m looking forward for the outcome.
