What's this blog about? My fun life as a homeschooling mommybot teaching 5 kids while growing a writing career. I share funnies, real information and random crap (book reviews, crunchy stuff, recipes). Growing up as an only child, my parents always told me, "It's not the Kerrie Show." Well, Mom and Dad, it is NOW! By the way, I'm a hot Catholic hippie mess.

- I'm pretty lazy. I homeschool my 5 naughty kids, write stuff, do dishes, put away laundry, cook stuff and give unsolicited opinions. I stay young-looking by eating food with preservatives and not taking off my mascara before I go to bed.

Leaning Tower of Dishes
It doesn't take long in our house to accumulate a lot of dirty dishes. Lately we sometimes run the dishwasher twice a day! The oldest 3 kids are awesome and empty it for us for chore points (a quarter a point). I'm wondering if paper plates might be cheaper than paying them ... then we can just throw them in our compost heap! One day when we were behind (Aron was probably out of town), Michael made this amazing Leaning Tower of Dishes.

Kerrie's Dishwashing Tip #17: You don't even have to think about doing dishes if they all fit in one side of the sink.
Kerrie's Dishwashing Tip #17a: There is no height limit to Tip #17.
YES!! I hadn't even thought about making it into a tower... we don't have a dishwasher but the rule is one side of the sink has to remain empty. Since we have almost no counter space it doesn't take long before someone (me) has to do the dishes... I think I will make a tower instead!
