Good morning!

I'm back to the grind this morning as our trip has ended.  My challenge for today is to get us unpacked and get the house back in order.  It's rather chaotic here at the moment.

Hi Shelly,

Done, already? That went really fast!

I realized I am accomplishing something and hadn't even realized it.

I am washing all dishes by hand and I'M NOT USING MY DISHWASHER AT ALL! We hold dishes for two washings a day, right after breakfast and one after dinner.  It works for us since there is only the three of us and two of us are gone all day long. But I had started doing this already this spring--trying to cut down on the dishwasher usage and as we all know it takes seven days to develop a habit. My habit has been formed and I'm really liking it. I'm sure I'll use it once in a while when we have all the kids home or if we have a Thanksgiving or Christmas get-together but I'm not against using the dishwasher for that either.
