Today was filled from beginning to end with Christmas shopping. The kids were farmed out and I got almost all of it done.
But after two hours round trip of driving to get to decent shopping, and arriving home just in time to go immediately to basketball practice, I didn’t feel like doing anything.
At all.
So my checklist for today is:
Made bed.
Loaded and started dishwasher just now.
My house is looking worse than it has in a while. But at least I avoided having the counters covered in dirty dishes when I wake up in the morning.
Running the dishwasher tonight meant that the dishes were still manageable. Waiting until tomorrow would probably mean that I would fill the dishwasher and still have a load’s worth on the counters. I don’t want to go back there.
I’ve been there before, and it isn’t fun.
Amen!! I am trying to get better about this. I am now in the process if decluttering, purging, AND become less slobby (is that a word?). My goal for dishes is to run it once a day. Some days it takes everything I have to get ut dine amongst all the other day to day. But I must say the difference is astounding. Thank you for sharing all of this! It really does help to know I’m not the only one 😉
