You know.....we are so blessed to have a dishwasher...at least that's what I think. On the other hand, the rest of my household has a name for it...."Mom"!
Don't you just feel like a broken record when you continue to ask people to just put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher? I don't know, maybe it's me but, I really can't stand hearing myself say the same thing over and over and over again, just to get the same response.....nothing! That is the definition of insanity isn't it, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome? Well, I'm going to try something a little different this time and see if it works. Kind of like the time I took the light bulbs out of my daughters' bedrooms because I was tired of asking them to please turn the lights off. Was I called 'crazy'...I sure was! Did it work?..It sure did! So, please, feel free to use my poem below if you think if will affect positive change in your own home! I'll keep you updated on if it has worked for me and I will ask you to do the same. Leave me your thoughts and, together, we can change the destiny of dirty dishes in the sink!
Dirty Dishes
Every day when I awake I'm faced with dirty dishes in the sink.
It bewilders me how this can happen because the kitchen is clean when I go to sleep!
There must be gremlins that come out only after dark To eat and munch and leave a mess for someone else to shriek and shout!
It wouldn't be so bad if I got paid with hugs and kisses, a thank you now and then but, gremlins don't know the difference.
I know that 'Mom' and 'Maid' start with the same letter But you must remember their definitions are all together another matter!
Moms are here to support and love you,
Maids are hired and paid to clean up after you.
So, please, the next time you want to just lay that dirty dish in the sink, Think of love and support or else, leave a 10 dollar bill so I can wake with a wink!
Well.Here for am #Udate to the #DirtyDishesDilenna. So far? Working perfectly! I did have to make one minor adjustment: I enlarged the print and put it in a more conspicuous place! I have been freed from the gremlins for a couple of days. We'll see if they return and more drastic measures taken!
