68Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Lizzie McGuire characters- if I did, I wouldn't have to be writing this now! I do own Catalina, Wendy, Rose, and all other non-Lizzie characters.
A/n: This is my first story so if you peeps wouldn't mind reviewing and giving me advice, well, let's just say that it would be appreciated. Also, if any one wants to be a beta or needs a beta, e-mail me! I know that this story is starting out slow, but it will get better- I PROMISE!
Chapter 1
The Idea
Lizzie McGuire(32) was happily married to Gordo(32) (David Gordon) and had 3 children- Catalina and Wendy who were both 16 and looked exactly like their father, and Rose who was 13 and looked like her mother. One day, Lizzie decided that her children should become an active part of the family by helping with their 1st spring-cleaning...
As soon as the words left Lizzie's mouth, she knew it had been a mistake.
"What about my manicure?"
"But, Mom I've got after-school activities!"
MOOOMMM, IIIIIIII DDDDOOOOOONNNNN'TTTTT WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAANNNNNTTTTT TTTTTTOOOOOOO!" (Mom, I don't want to!)
Was immediately shouted at her. But, she wasn't going to back down. Nope, not this time. She had given in to her kids too many times before because of the guilt she felt. But this time was different; she was going to make them, bribe them if she had to!
"Kids, listen to me. This time you are going to help out around the house. This is something that I've wanted to do since just after Rose was born but I've never had the time to do it all. The house just keeps collecting more junk and it needs to be cleaned out. Now, you're going to do this whether you like it or not. Catalina, you're going to clean the basement. Wendy, you get the garage, and Rose, you get the attic. Throw away all junk and dead looking things. Save you guys' baby stuff and the toys you played with the most when you were little. We'll organize it all together when you're done. Now, after you're all finished, I'm going to give you more privileges or something. So, I'm going to put out a box for ideas that we will discuss at dinner. Now, go start cleaning!"
