Dishes

OK, the stay at home mom business isn't what you would call exciting, so I have to get excited about some everyday things....... We don't have a dishwasher in our apartment and both Casey and I hate doing dishes. Needless to say the dishes were quite often neglected and tended to pile up. It was a big pet peeve of mine all last semester, I would mope around wishing that they would just wash themselves while getting depressed that I was too lazy to do them. So, for the New Year I decided to buckle down and force myself to keep up with the dishes everyday. I quit looking for excuses, and just did it, everyday right after dinner, when Casey is home to entertain Megan otherwise right after I put her to bed. Miraculous! I have felt so much better, waking up each morning to an empty sink and clean kitchen. I never would have thought such a mundane task could lift my spirits day after day, I'm even starting to like doing the dishes :)
