    That makes me feel a little better lol. I also try to wash dishes as I go but often I’ve got 2 or 3 different dishes going at once so usually if one thing goes into the oven, I switch over to chopping vegetables or adding spices or whatever else. So there’s usually a pretty big pile of dishes by the end of the night, especially once you add the ones everyone’s eating off of.

    But I know people who manage with way more kids than me. I have a friend who has 6 kids, one a newborn, and her husband works 2 hours away and so she’s home taking care of them all day with no help. And I’m always thinking, how does she ever manage to get out of the house? How is it she can handle 6 by herself and I can’t seem to keep up with only 3, and my husband working from home and available in emergencies? I just feel like there’s got to be some trick I’m missing or skill I have yet to develop.
