I Love Dirty Dishes.


I used to get really annoyed by dirty dishes. I would constantly nag our kids to pick up after themselves and instruct them never to leave a dirty dish unattended. My, how things have changed!

These days, a sink full of dirty dishes means our kids are home and life is beautiful. I intend to watch the dishes pile up over the next few days and remember how lucky I am to have my family together once again. (I must admit, I still rinse.)

Have a wonderful holiday with your family!

Peace,
Ki

    That is a good way to look at it...i'm going to do that this holiday and see if the dishes don't bother me so much.

    Have a great Christmas!

    Enjoyed my first visit here today. This post certainly gives me thought: wonder if I could turn around my thinking? Generally, I just complain about dishes left all over the house.

    Thanks for a fresh perspective. Come visit my place anytime.

    I must agree! May as well, it's hard to keep up the dishes when you have kids!
