How I counted mine was that we needed to clean garage for new longarm machine so the child went thru each one to help me sort and organize where I should put things in the cupboards and each project was either in a box, plastic bin, or a plastic bag. she would ask me if this fabric was ok to put away and I said it went with this project and then i got a look and she simply states "I think we need to make a list mom to help you get these things done". that was it, she started it and now I have a long list of five pages long with each item on it. Now I do not think it fair she put her skirt and shirt to be done when that is her project, but it made my list, hmmmmmmm...... some issue there for me. LOl
