I'm officially in charge of everything.

LOL! I try to get it through everyone's thick heads around here that it really doesn't count as CLEANING THE KITCHEN to just take all the dirty dishes and shove them in the sink until they bury the faucet! It's the equivalent of cleaning your room by sticking all your stuff in your closet. Someone still has to come by and unload the dishwasher and load it again or (gasp) wash some dishes by hand. And that's usually me.
But everyone else just thinks they've worked so hard because not hte kitchen LOOKS better. Never mind that whether the dishes were on the table/counter or in teh sink, I'll still have to do them. Only now I can't turn the water on because even if I could FIND the faucet, there are so many dishes in the sink that the water would just run all over the counter. And so before I can even START to clean the dishes, I now have to take them back OUT OF THE SINK just so I can do the work that they all failed to do earlier.
Wow. I guess that was a rant. I just thought it was funny to hear you talking about rearranging pots and pans!
