That's me! I can shine my sink . . sometimes. I can get dressed to my shoes everyday. That's not hard since I have to get up and dressed to take my kids to school. But laying my clothes out and shining my sink are hard to remember. Unless of course I have just done the laundry and My clothes are folded up on the dining room table.
So I have done my baby steps. And even wrote post it notes on my desk to remind me of what I need to get done. It's only three things. I can do that! Sort of. Why am I having such a hard time shining my sink??? I can do the others with no problem. But the shiny sink is an issue for me! I'm tired by the time dinner is over and the boys are in bed. I don't want to have to do the dishes and clean up the mess. So my bad habit is to leave everything there. I do clean up the food and put it in the fridge . But the dirty dishes . . I ignore those. They stay in the sink till morning.
And then when I get up and the kids are off to school I spend my morning cleaning up the mess from the night before while my youngest eats his breakfast. I should be sitting at the table and eating with him. Not cleaning up the dishes. I don't like being left at the table eating alone. So why should I do that to my son??? It's a bad habit that I need to work on!!! Are you having trouble with the baby steps??? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Alright Girly, YOU CAN DO THIS!!! We aren't worried about your dishes...yet...just your sink. That is it!
At the end of the night, just clean it out and wipe it out. I know how hard it is to do the dishes with kiddos running around! I have been loading the dishes that have gathered throughout the day while I make dinner and then after dinner I just have the few pots and pans and plates left from dinner. Then I wipe out the sink real quick and put a clean dry towel on top of the sink to remind every one (ahem...DH) that I want that sink clean!
Remember these are baby steps! We will get to all of the other messes but a little at a time! A shiny sink makes us happy....I am really starting to believe that, after 5 days of a shiny sink, I think I might get used to this! But it takes 3-4 weeks to establish a habit so I am still working on it!!
Keep up the good work Tiff and think happy thoughts!
