Day 1

   Posted by: MotherHen   in Laundry

Oh please, day 1 of anything is easy.

I got up early to get started on the laundry.  The solar dryer takes a tad more discipline than the ’round-the-clock electric job sitting in my garage.  And yes, I had gotten rather lazy about using the solar one.  But I’ve signed on for 30 days of exclusive use.

Washing the dishes by hand is so much faster than putting them in the dishwasher.  I mean the whole job by hand vs. the whole job using the machine.  And, as I have said before, conversation is more abundant when we are doin’ ‘em by hand.  I don’t understand why this is so, but it is.

Some neighbors across the street are having a garage sale today.  I’ve already said no to one Pirate about that, and I had him thank me for saving him money.

I also wanted to mention that my Very Dear Hubby thinks this is a wonderful way of life.  This is how he lives anyway.  If that man ever spends money beyond the basics, I sit up and take notice.  30 days?  Piece of cake.

He has asked me to sign on for life.  OK, another way to serve my husband, another opportunity to honor my husband.  I had never really given it any thought that I was dishonoring him by having my own spending habits.  I should always at the very least, consider what he would have me do, and I should usually almost always wait and ask his advice.

So, I wonder if Mary at Owlhaven had any inklings of increased family harmony when she invited all of us to participate in this wonderful 30 day plan.  Thanks Mary!

Now, has every one entered the giveaway this month?

Ya know, how often in the day do we stand in one place and just do something? I have found that washing dishes by hand is actually rather relaxing. I am not running around, I have time to talk to God, it means I am not on the internet, and well… I just don’t have the problem of dirt under my nails anymore… : ) …..
