hi lilac, hi nancy hi harriet

Harriet really thanks for the inspiration, I find the night time routine the hardest as I just want to hope into bed and grab a book. But having it done makes such a difference. I know it's a habit that I really working hard to make it part of my regular routine. Dh last night wanted me to wait on putting the dishes on, he thought he would locate more, it was 10 pm, I am sure he thought I was another woman in disguise. I put in on and didn't take being talked out of it or I would be dealing with it this morning. It's no fun to wake up to dirty dishes. thank you.

pulled one weekly card: wash one shelf in refridgerator
:D

Yesterday I was only able to do dailies, so now that Wednesday is here most of my weeklies will be pushed to next week as this week has been filled with errands. (got to love flexibility)

again day thrown out the window, beginning to bother me. :roll: but dd13 needed to go to doctor

had to throw today's errands to tomorrow :?

Oh, Oh, I know the answer to this! When dh wants a late snack or has to have 4:00 a.m. breakfast without us, or just finds more dishes like your dh said, blessed, I've told him to close dishes up into the microwave. There they are secure overnight and no pest of any kind is ever able to get so much as a crumb or a drop from them. They are hidden from sight, too, and kitchen looks better, until I check the microwave the next morning as I unload dishwasher and look for anything new to go in.

This way, at my Evening Daily Card time, I can confidently start the dishwasher and not have to wonder what dh will find or dirty in the next minutes! :roll: We've been doing this for months and it has worked great - no extra work for me at all, just a "postponement" until the next regularly scheduled dishwasher cycle!! I really don't want him out in the kitchen trying to hand wash dishes in the night - there's no place to drain them, they don't get sanitized, and a lot of water is left in the sink for pests to sense.
If you don't believe in miracles, you're not being realistic.

I always said you are one wise woman Harriet! Great idea about the microwave! We have the marsh near us but our neighbors are closer to it then we are, so those lovely creatures usually hits the 2 houses right on the cuba marsh, but we get our share. It's not the creatures coming in that get to me it is the creatures we have as pets. You don't know how many times I have heard a dish coming out of the sink and going on the floor. Have to Love those dogs, cats are also out for gold but of course can't carry a cup or plate like our lab/shep mix can :roll: . Dh always thinks he can get "one more" thing in the dw :roll: Actually his slowly becoming ingrained habits are starting to make me laugh as I can't seem to get through to him, the girls too are finding it a bit humorous because he seems so serious, nice but serious :D (we are evil aren't we). they giggle at my habits too. I don't know if you ever saw the movie "open season"... the woman dachsund owner says: I can't have decaf because it will make me jibber jabber all day long till the cows come home" ... my girls laughed so hard at that in the movie theater (well you know what they'll get for christmas 8-) )

Harriet what else do you add to your card file at night that makes life easier like the dishes? willing and wanting to learn :D
