Poor Stella.
Her day started out with the dog eating her breakfast (an omelet)
School wasn’t that great.
It ended with 2 broken plates and 1 broken bowl.

SUBJECT: Sink full of dirty dishes and garbage
This drives me in-sane. Dishes and trash in the sink. Why is it so difficult to place a dish in the dishwasher or throw your trash away or scrub the pan you used? I don’t like it. Do you want to know what one of my college apartment mates did when someone left a burnt pan in the sink for two days? She placed the greasy, dirty thing on the offender’s bed, on top of their pillow. Later in the evening, when our other roommate arrived home and found the pan on her pillow, quite of bit of shouting went on in the apartment. I’d like to do the same, but most of the time, the offender at my house shares a bed with me.

I thank God for my dishwasher everyday. One of the best. inventions. ever. But I think I might have to stick a decision chart on the front of it for my family. Is your dish dirty? Yes. Open door to dishwasher. Are the dishes inside dirty? Yes. Can your dish be placed inside? Yes. Place dish in dishwasher and close door. Is dishwasher now full of dirty dishes? Yes. Add dishwashing powder and turn on. Are the dishes clean? Yes. Take clean dishes out and place in proper places in the cabinets and drawers, then place your dirty dishes inside the dishwasher. Close door. Excellent job! Now your mom/wife is a happy person.
