Friday Celebration Post -the first!

[jamethiel]

I start early because I am early! It's the end of the week! Let Joy and Celebration be unconfined!

Come and tell me--what progress have you made towards your goals this week? Finances OR frugal living, or even buying something that you've saved up towards!

Hmm. If your partner is good at prep work - what about dishes? I've had fairly good luck getting my husband to play sous chef and dish washer on some of my cooking runs....

Yeah, he does the dishes half the time or less.

Part of the issue is that he views chopping stuff as contributing equally to the meal (it isn't) and part of the issue is that he works skewed hours, so unless I want to eat at 9:30pm every night (which we often end up doing, and I hate it), I have to do most or all of the prep and cooking before he gets home. And it makes me grumpy.

I haven't really come up with a solution for this all yet, other than lots of pasta (and that's still eating at 8:30 at best, unless I cook it all before he gets home, and then 8:00).

:( Yeah. That makes it hard. I cook and freeze on weekends, reheat weekday evenings, but that doesn't solve the distribution of labor issue, just moves mine. (Of course, in my case it DOES help as then my husband is home to clean up the detritus.)
