Our dishwasher is out of order. For a couple of weeks, it went through a phase where it would only let us run it once a day. Generally not a problem. Helpful, actually--an appliance with a conscience, reminding us to save water. Now it won't start up at all. It needs a new part that may or may not be more expensive than just getting a new dishwasher. We shall see.
Washing dishes can actually be a nice, meditative activity. Calming. Soothing. With a real sense of accomplishment at the end. Except that I can see it getting old very quickly. Once in awhile washing dishes by hand can be a real treat. But get a day where everyone is home all day. The dishes will add up. And every person in this family, including myself, is a dish, glass, and silverware junkie. We can't help but use a different glass at every meal, and two in between. Josh and I lived for years without a dishwasher. Now that we have one, we go out of our way to create dirty dishes. And why not? Guess we need to have some dirty dishes boot camp around here. And fast.

Ugh. Our dishwasher has the opposite problem-- it doesn't turn off. It just keeps going through the same cycle for hours if I don't remember to flip the switch to the next cycle. Hope you get it worked out soon!
