ALBANY, Ind. -- An Indiana woman is trying to get a paycheck for hours of work she did as a wife.
She's divorcing her husband and said she's sending him a bill for almost $500,000 for housework she says she did and kept track of over the years.
Kathy Thompson appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" three years ago when she went on strike in an effort to get her husband to help out more around the house.
After five years of marriage to Gary Thompson, Kathy said she's trying to be reasonable. She's filing for divorce, but isn't asking for a normal alimony payment.
Kathy has drawn up an itemized bill with what she believes Gary owes her after their time together.
The itemized bill includes a charge for cleaning that amounts to $42,000. Cooking is billed for $35,200. The laundry tab is $17,600. Yardwork costs a comparatively paltry $1,200.
