Dishes In the Kitchen Sink Keeping You Up?

Our dishes have been piling up over the past 24 hours and I'm losing my mind! As soon as I finish this post I'm going to push up my sleeves and get to work! Oh, right- the kids are taking showers. I'll have to wait. Again. I'm a Virgo, and according to all of the books, (and the Portland Press Herald horoscope), I should be a natural-born cleaner. Unfortunately, my inclination for order and cleanliness does not extend to doing dishes. I HATE, (in all caps), doing dishes! Mark is usually the pot scrubber. My brother Bobby, (also a Virgo), can't sleep if there are dishes in his sink. I don't mean just the dirty dishes. The clean, dry ones must be put away in their proper place as well.

Sinks full of dirty dishes have created stress among family members, spouses and roommates. Do you need to have a clean sink before you can relax? Which is harder to clean, a lasagna pan or dried up oatmeal? Whats' the worst fight you've had over dishes? Comment on our Fan Page.

Don't judge me, my bathroom is spotless. It's so clean that if you can't find a clean plate in my kitchen, you could eat off my bathroom floor.
