This is just a mini blog I wanted to share with you flybabies.  Remember how I made Hamburger Tator Tot Hot Dish last week?  It tasted so good and I even got compliments on it from my guest.  I also shared my recipe with you on Facebook in my notes page.

When I was going to eat it at my next meal, instead of taking it out of the pan and heating it up on a plate, I just put the entire pan back in the oven to bake.  The pan I was using was a White Corel Dish.  With the second heating, one can imagine how baked on this hamburger tator tot hot dish got.  So I ate the rest of my hotdish and then thought, oh no, now I am going to have to clean it and in order to do that I must put it in my newly polished shiny sink. Argh! It was painful to do but I put the pan in the sink.  Afterall that is what the sink is for, right?  I had to put some scrubbing compound on the pan to soak.

So, I went about my business doing some of my routines, checking messages and notifications on the computer.  We all know how much time we can spend on the computer for reasons of our own.  My reason this time was that silly pan soaking in my shiny sink.  I thought, “Could I leave it there for tomorrow?  The sink is clean on the other side.  Doesn’t that count?”

 Let’s just start the BBR before bedtime routine.  I washed up and got my pjs on.  The last thing to do before I went to bed was get the coffee pot ready for the morning.  Could I look the other way at that pan as I was reaching in the cupboard for coffee?  Then I thought about the frog.  Do I want to eat this frog tonight or can I wait until morning?  I spent so much energy on this!  It was like fighting with my inner brat.  Finally, the pan started to speak to me and said, “Come on lady, I am waterlogged and I promise I will clean up real nice for you. Then you can put me back in the newly decluttered cabinet so we can all go to bed!”

Sometimes we can make it so hard on ourselves to the point of being ridiculous and that is the point to this blog.  Start Doing It The Flylady Way!  You will thank yourself.
