When Things Pile Up

Isn't it odd how if you leave one dish in the sink, the next time you have a dirty dish its easy to leave that one too?  Eventually you end up with a pile.

Then with so many dishes in the sink, you don't clean the sink either.

What a downhill slide that becomes! 

Then when you finally clean up, you hate leaving that first dirty dish....... what a never ending cycle!

My mom was the type who cleaned every dish, wiped down all the counters and the stove every time she took a dirty dish to the kitchen.  Which meant she did a lot of cleaning. Every day. All day.  So it seemed.

While I vowed not to be like her, sometimes I go to opposite extremes and yep, that kitchen sink gets full, the counters are messy. But I don't spend hours cleaning every day.

There's gotta be a happy medium, I just haven’t found it yet!!

Have you??


PS: its the same with laundry!!
