The Dishwasher Does Not Like To be Ignored!

February 3, 2013 By Kathy Radigan

Back in November I made the hard decision to unplug my dishwasher.  It seemed the best thing to do at the time since being a mom to three, wife to one and a Co-founder of Bonbon Break left little time to write anymore.

At the time I wondered how the dishwasher would take to being ignored. I expected the possessed appliance to show its displeasure by making lots of unexplained noises and lighting up at all hours of the day and night. 

Damion did not disappoint me. 

Not a day goes by without my crazed appliance showing me its not happy about my decision to ignore it.

In the beginning I didn’t pay it much mind. I was far too busy working and getting ready for the holidays and dealing with all the other things life has to offer a busy mom of three.

But lately I have been feeling called back to my little place in cyberspace.  For as much as my dishwasher has missed being in the spotlight, I have missed it.

I miss writing. I miss having a place where I can share the funny and not so funny things that happen in our crazy house. I miss the dishwasher.

So, I’m plugging it back in. 

Quietly as first. 

Without too much fanfare.

I’m back. 

I wonder what the dishwasher will think?

    I just lit up when I saw there was a new post from you. I would love it if you would stop in every once in a while and share a moment now and again. Your writing is so relate-able and I have missed you. I am sorry I didn’t go over to the other site. I often find myself stopping to ponder on the topics that you so thoughtfully write about.

    That said, slap some soap in that machine and let ‘er rip! (hehe)
