I am SO not a fan of cleaning the kitchen! However, cleaning the kitchen is precisely what I’m faced with today. I will put off cleaning the kitchen as long as humanly possible. AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! I can be such a procrastinator.
The funny thing is, and I USE this excuse, it’s GREENER to put it off. I figure it like this… If I wait until the entire dishwasher is FULL, then it’s more efficient when it heats the water and uses the electricity to run. Unfortunately I haven’t figured out how this explains why I leave the dirty dishes stacked on the counter.
Sigh
A domestic goddess’ work is never done…
The Spring looking in at me through the windows is beckoning to me to venture outside. I heard tell that we were looking at a high of 75 degrees today so I’m sure to be overcome by the call of my muse before too long.
But the dishes…
Find the appreciation.
I made a fantastic pot of chili the other night. I can see the pot from here. We all LOVED the chili, even the boys. We shredded pepper-jack cheese on top and scooped it from the bowl with corn chips. Yum! Then we ate leftover chili over baked potatoes with sour cream. Yum! THEN the day after THAT, I cut up and french fried the left over baked potatoes and had chili-cheese fries for lunch!
Thank God for all those dirty dishes! I appreciated and reveled in each and every bite and I’m so thankful for the nourishment it provided my family.
**When I typed the above sentences, it made me think of an iron trivet my Gram owned that I inherited when she died in 1997. I thought to get up and take a pic of it, but then remembered that I’d searched yesterday for my camera cord and could NOT find it. I thought, “MAAAN! I really wish I knew where that cord is!!” and I turned my head to the left and my eyes landed on my camera cord. I searched that whole shelf yesterday. IT WAS NOT THERE! _giggles_ I’m tellin’ ya! Attitude of gratitude! **
I’m off to go love my kitchen! I hope you have a blessed Thursday :)
