You know...after having "one of those days" today, I had to do something a bit creative and on the lighter side so I didn't "crack." 
I don't know if my kids will appreciate my "lightness," but I had to share our newly written Ten Commandments. 
Enjoy...
Ten Commandments
of Our House
I Thou shalt obey and respect thy
parents as thy God-given authorities.
II Thou Shalt begin school after breakfast and complete all assignments satisfactorily before thou art “done.”
III Thou shalt complete all thy chores without whining, complaining, or stalling.
IV Thou shalt remember that playtime, television, video games, friends, and outside activities are all privileges not rights, and in order to be granted these privileges, thou must have all schoolwork and chores completed or these privileges may be revoked even if previously scheduled.
V Thou shalt treat thy brothers and sisters with love, respect and a servant’s heart, thinking of them as more worthy than thyself.
VI Thou shalt “do all things as unto the Lord,”” whether it be schoolwork, chores, play or worship.
VII Thou shalt clean up thy own messes and put away all things when thou hast finished using them.
VIII Thou wilt cheerfully accept added responsibilities should thy help be needed, realizing that thou art
blessing thy family and others in doing so.
IX Thou shalt understand that attitude begins in the heart regardless of circumstances which mayest affect thee. Remember the Lord thy God and the response from thee which wouldst please Him the most.
X If thou shouldst fail to keep any of
the above commandments, thou shalt
submissively accept the consequences of thy
actions, even if thou feelest
they are unfair.
(Referest thou to Commandment IX)
