I don't mind folding laundry. I pop up and make my bed before my eyes are barely open. I love cooking. I actually (occasionally) look forward to cleaning the toilets. I like making our windows shine. I even kind of enjoy cleaning out our van. But, I am sloooooooooooooooooooooow to empty that dishwasher. I will cram as many dishes as possible into the dishwasher to put off having to empty it again. Thankfully, my husband doesn't mind. Thankfully, he does it almost every day. Thankfully, or we might be eating straight off the table.
Not sure what it is about putting away the dishes. I just dread it and thus, am slow to finish it.
I wish I was as slow at getting angry as I am with emptying the dishwasher.
This was me as I was putting my boys to bed tonight: "Josiah! Put that book away so we can pray!" Pray and ask for forgiveness for me by that time. :) 1 Corinthians says that love is "not irritable" or "not easily angered" or, for my son's comprehension, "slow to anger". This should be a good one...for the boys and for me.

I have to say, my boys did great with their verse this last week. It really seemed to stick with them. I heard lots of "look mom, I'm not being 'fish'" (we did have to work on the actual word, "selfish"...). I was very proud of them and it gave me encouragement to keep on going...:)
