I broke even on dishes last night. I fully intended to wash a tub of dishes. Instead, I washed 4 dishes. I realized that I didn't have flour for biscuits or gravy and that's what I planned to have for supper. My evening went downhill from there.
We discovered that one of our multitude of cats has worms. Very treatable but not cool. They are currently banned from the house until all are proven to be uninfested. After the discovery, I went around spraying all our furniture with a vinegar spray in hopes of killing any invisible unborn worms that might be lingering there. They give me the total creeps.
Since I hadn't eaten dinner yet, the worm thing sent me into an emotional tailspin so I cut myself some slack. I shared a plate of peanut butter graham crackers with Ladybug for dinner. We dipped them in a glass of milk and felt pretty special. Then we watched episode after episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog since Coondog discovered a dvd of it in a previously unpacked box of kids books. The night was salvaged. I went to bed early and didn't have to get up more than the standard 2 times to get Ladybug back to sleep in her big girl bed.
Thanks to our throw together dinner with Coondog eating chili, we only used 4 dishes. This morning, I put up the 4 dishes I washed yesterday. Breaking even beats getting further behind. The week isn't over and even a rough evening didn't make me regress completely. At this point, that's progress and I'm thankful for it.
