Chores

Most of the days since we've been back in the US for this trip, I've been completely head over heals in love with how much easier/better/insert favorite happy adjective here my life is here than in China. Yes, that would be my, as in me. Some mornings I've had two loads of laundry washed and dried before breakfast. I am cheerfully loading and unloading an entire day's worth of dishes in the dishwasher at my sister's house. And since we are staying with family members, there's no shortage of extra people around who want to take my kids for a few minutes to a few hours so I can do whatever I want.

I know, I know. Had we domestic help in China, none of these chores would seem less chore-like while we are here in the US.
