Sometimes it seems like I'm doing dishes all day long, but as I work at
home, I manage to fit it in here and there. I also wake up a little
earlier to get my sons up and out for school, so while I wait for them to
roll out of bed I get the last dishes from the night before done.

I guess I've made room for it in my schedule.
