I recently broke down and bought some boxes of cereal for those days that I don't want to take the time to make breakfast. This is a big thing for me because in general we try to eat foods that are nutricious but lately I have let down my standards for the sake of putting my time into the more urgent needs. I hope to pick this standard up again soon as we get on a good routine.
Well, this morning was one of those times I decided to let the children have cereal for breakfast to save time. After breakfast the children cleaned out the dishwasher while I was working at clearing the counter. They put dishes on the counter that are too high for them to reach and imagine my surprise to see that my tea cup was still brown in the bottom!!! :( I found this out after all the dishes were put away UGH! I quickly asked Javan if he remembered to run the dishwasher after he put the detergent in last night (we have both been guilty of forgetting), but come to find out something must have been blocking the detergent from getting out, so though the dishwasher was run they did not get clean; the water sitting on the cups made the children think they were done when in actuality they were not.
So my time saving with the cereal I guess made up for the time I had to put in to digging out all the dishes I and the children could remember that were in the dishwasher. Anyone want to come for supper? HA HA LOL

Even with a dishwashing glitch here and there, though, you just can't beat the convenience. :) I'm always guilty of trying to fit too much into the dishwasher (which drives Mark nuts). I then end up having to put some of the dishes back in again. You'd think I'd learn!
