Yes!! I’m trying to get better at doing them at least once a day. When I don’t it gets so overwhelming!

I HATTTTE seeing dirty dishes in the sink when it’s time to make a meal. I try to wash the dishes every night before I go to bed but let’s get real – it doesn’t always get done.

It’s crazy right? And you don’t even realize the two things might be related! Just the other day I texted my husband to see if he wanted to get a pizza for dinner and then walked into the kitchen and saw a pile in the sink!

You may have just changed my life! Seriously! I’m in the same boat. Just get drive-thru or delivery. Looking around my kitchen, I may understand why! Holy cow! Epiphany!

It’s totally overwhelming! We’ve bought more convenience foods lately because life has been crazy. I figure slightly more expensive things like you mentioned are still cheaper than going out to eat.

It certainly does make me not want to cook and contributes to the general feeling of overwhelm when I get home at 6 or later and don’t feel like doing much of anything. I try to keep something simple on hand (popcorn shrimp or fish sticks, steamer veggie bags) for the days when I am running short on time, patience, or both to attempt to keep myself from running back out for takeout or buying it while I am out to begin with. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much.

That is a problem! We always at least have noodles and a jar of sauce for spaghetti.

Worth a shot! My issue is typically, however, that the fridge is completely empty. That’s when I say it’s time for takeout. 🙂
