Time Savers

I have seriously been give at least an extra hour in my day....maybe even an hour and half. Ladies and gentleman I now have a working dishwasher!!!! ***Applause*** I have been handwashing my dishes for a little over a year now. I don't think I complained much, it really wasn't a big deal. I actually sort of liked doing it. But, as Hannah gets older and with another baby on the way, the time I spent washing dishes was beginning to get the best of me. Well, it's here. I've used it for three days and tested it out well. The first night I piled ALL of the dishes into it, including pots and pans. I didn't pre-wash, just scraped the food off and loaded it. Dishes were done in minutes, and the next morning, everything was spotless....woohoo!!! Last night I had a grand idea of delay starting it. I knew the guys would be over for Bible study and I would be asleep before they were done. So, I thought I would start the washer around midnight . Grand plan, except I forgot to tell Jeremy to load up the few cups and plates used, so the dishwasher was only half full, and my sink was half full this morning too. Oh well. The delay start worked great by the way.

It's not a fancy dishwasher, just wash and go. No extra settings, no bells and whistles, but you know what it works! Great so far, and I've freed up my day a bit. I am pleased:-)

Oh, the first time I ran the dishwasher, the girls were both awake and Nicole kept asking me what that noise was (when it would turn the water on, or the jets or whatever). Even Hannah crawled over to get a better look, hehehe.
