I just went into the kitchen to unload the dishwasher and opened the door only to find that the little detergent "pillow" didn't dissolve. I had to restart them.. but I was able to get in the last few straggles that didn't get loaded on the first pass.

seashell, psquared)4, sidestep, boyswillbeboys, angela , Di and wynken for getting it done. sidestep - thank you for that tip. It penalizes me to leave things soaking in the sink when I finally face them. boyswillbeboys - I am so glad your boys do help around the house, and at meal times. I had worried they did nothing. glad you caught up again angela. and resumed without fussing Di. You are all an example to us all of not letting dishes get the better of us.

Dishwasher running right now! I didn't keep up at all yesterday, bringing in a new set of dishes, and then hiking to the grocery store to buy a lobster pot because the Lobstergram we got was so HUGE they didn't fit in my new stock pot, not even one at a time. It was so late by the time we finished making and eating dinner that I didn't do anything else productive all day. Two trips to the mall and one to the grocery wiped me out.

PaperGrace, I hope you were able to get rested up!
Last night, I put my dishes on to soak and got them washed up almost as soon as supper was over. Yay!

I just finished washing my dishes
sidestep, PaperGrace, angela, seashell and wynken
Welcome Sidestep. Woot - well done getting it done to cleared sink status.
PaperGrace - Glad you could jump back in today.
angela - I needed a change to my "public face". I like it too. for a change - this avatar was on the first page of the ones I looked at. Usually I use a lot of time choosing.
Seashell - Woot for timeliness.

I think we are all doing great in the Great Dish War! I did mine twice yesterday and stumbled into the kitchen this morning to a shiny sink. Yesterday, as soon as I started cooking, I ran a small amount of hot water in the sink and washed as I went, then it seemed like it was so much easier to finish, since I already had hot water ready to go.

Imamess boyswillbeboys Wtg to both of you for your efforts. I am no cooperating here with the dishes and need to play catch up. I need to get out the magic wand - typo was the magic want which is about right - and do the action required.

I was so tired last night, but I emptied the dishwasher, rinsed the dirty dishes, reloaded and ran the dishwasher. It wasn't a full load, but more than could easily be done by hand. This morning, my sink is nice and empty!

I just finished the dishes. I didn't get them done this morning, but it only took a few minutes tonight. Hurray for a clean sink and a clean counter!

Goal: Dishes after dinner tonight. Telling myself, it only took 18 minutes to clean the whole kitchen, it's only about 7 minutes for dishes. I can do this.

Dishwasher running, stuffed to the gills. Pots and pans handwashed. There's still one side of the sink that has dishes that can go into the next load in the dishwasher, and there are still a bunch of baby dishes in their bin.

I needed to wash up tonight before I could make dinner. Dragged my feet, then finally did it, made dinner, and washed up those things. It feels good to be back on track. Seashell, Imamess, Angela, PaperGrace and Wynken Congratulations on keeping up with your resolve to keep on, and catch up if you leave off one night.
