Word to the wise...

Do not put dish soap in the dishwasher.....

Yes, we are having this conversation...I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but I just got done cleaning up a dishwasher load of bubbles!

For some reason my self doesn't trust the one inch square package does it all for dishwasher soap. So I took it upon myself to add a little dish soap in the prewashing section!

Little did I know what consequences this would bring! Haha. Why do I have to be such an airhead sometimes. It reminded me of the time where I ironed my shirt while it was on! Come on, the sleeves were wrinkled. It sounded like a good plan at the time. Yes, my sleeves looked a lot better, but the scabby burns on each of my arms didn't help so much!

Anyway, you're probably wondering what happened when I found the bubbles seeping out of our dishwasher...Well, I had just finished wiping down the counters (this counter perfectionism comes from my mother and grandmother) when I hear little Boston switch from yelling "mama" at the top of his lungs to "bub-bows" in ajubilant voice. I'm glad it was fun for one of us.

I hurried and called Kyle to taddle on the dishwasher. I soon realized I really needed to hang up and grab the load of towels I just washed and soak up this water before Boston was covered! Another reason being I realized I had caused this with the dishsoap, and needed to get off the phone before Kyle figured this out also. ugh. stupid.

I proceeded to remove the bottom rack and scooped double handfuls of bubbles into the sink, (all the while Boston is finding every knife in the silverware bin) and wiping out the entire washer with towel upon towel. Only realizing after the fact, that I could have used the "drain" setting. again. stupid.

So, there you have it. I got it all cleaned up, but learned a valuable lesson. Let the dishwasher be a dishwasher, stop trying to reinvent the wheel, and use the all in one package!!
