Here's the problem:
1. I cook dinner like a good wife and mother
2. I put the dirty dishes in the sink
3. Said sink is approximately the size of a toaster
4. Sink is so full of dinner dishes that no room is left to actually wash dishes. (To be honest, it has breakfast and lunch dishes as well)
5. Pack dishes into tote, carry tote up the deck stairs, load into MIL's dishwasher . . . 45 minutes later: CLEAN DISHES!
I'm pretty sure that this actually takes more effort than simply washing the dishes as they're dirtied, but for some reason, I feel defeated when I look at a pile/mound/mountain of nasty dishes. Whatever works, right?
