Going for 14 days...

I HATE doing the dishes. It must stem from doing dishes for 10 people while growing up. I don't mind doing any of the other house work at all. In fact I love to do laundry. I have been known to let the dishes go for several days out of detest of them. Sometimes I get so mad that I have to do them I just want to throw them across the room. I have tried several times and failed to stay on top of them. I am not working or going to school at the moment so I have talked myself into keeping the kitchen clean. Today will be day 5 of a clean kitchen. Tim has been so surprised he even noticed (Tim walks around in a daze when home thanks to recruits). Mary mentioned it takes 14 days to make a habit. I am going to go the 14 days so my new habit will be to keep the kitchen clean. Wish me luck!

14 days? That's good to know. I kept my kitchen really clean (except for mopping the floor) for 8 days. Now it's a mess again, but only since last night so maybe I still have time to redeem myself.

I'll admit, I do feel better having a clean kitchen, and I'm far more likely to cook a good dinner when there aren't a week's worth of dishes piled up everywhere. But I just hate doing it!

Good luck!! I'll try to do the same.

I agree! I don't like doing dishes either. However, everytime I start them and Eugene is home, he comes running to help. I love that!
