My husband shared this time saving thing with me - empty the dishwasher and
place everything on the counters by the cabinet that the stuff goes into -
instead of directly into the cabinets. Then you can put all of the like items
away at once instead of one item at a time. Does that make sense? It takes me
like 2 minutes to empty our dishwasher now!

Can I just say this has changed my life!!!!!! Up until I read this, I have been know to unload the dishwasher just enough to get the dishes in the sink into it. Then wash / rewash the new load!!! Unloading the dishwasher is my all time least favorite thing to do on the kitchen. Thank you!!!!!

That's how I've always done the dishwasher. It's putting away laundry that I hate!!!!

Ditto!! I'm tempted to print this whole thread for future reference.

Update: things have been smoother. I added some new breakfasts to the mix to decrease the syrup spillage. New rules : dressed to shoes before breakfast and TV.

I think overall the kids are getting used to the morning rush. And they seem to be able to tell the difference between mornings I'm up and showered and mornings I'm not. Which is fine.

I've gotten more relaxed about dinner. We end up eating the same things a lot. But oh well.

Morning are more than half the battle IMO.
