Dishes

Tonight i was doing dishes and feeling so thankful that i had this to do.  i wasn't really sure why I felt that way.  i knew mostly it was because Syd asked, really instructed me to do it as an ongoing rule.  There are definitely times i get a hard on as i am doing the dishes.  As i was doing them tonight, I could hear Syd in with the kids watching tv, talking about school.  I realized, maybe she wouldn't have the time to be there for them in that way if the dishes were here.  Immediately, it became more clear why i felt so thankful.
