My new chores

Since WS has been gone for just over 2 weeks I've had to learn to do some of the things that he usually does. Here is a list:
1. Take out the trash. I never, ever do this chore usually. It's always been something that WS does. Well, now I'm the trash lady. It's not that hard really. I just have to take it down to the trash chute.

2. Do the dishes. WS usually does all of the dishes because I usually do the cooking.

3. Grocery shopping at the regular market. Usually I am the one who does the shopping every week at Whole Foods and WS would be the one to go to the regular market. However, I have to go to both stores now. I actually have only been to the regular market once since WS has been gone. It's just been easier to shop at Whole Foods for everything since I'm used to going there anyway.

4. Doing E's nighttime routine every night. We usually take turns, but now it's just me to read to her, sing, and do prayers every night.

5. Tea in the morning. WS and I drink tea in the mornings. He's the one who boils the water and gets it ready. Sometimes I forget to put on the water until it's almost time for me to leave for work. I guess that it won't matter now because I'm done with work!

6. Handling the hand truck. I have been using our really large, heavy hand truck to move my classroom boxes into the house.

Not too bad. I'm handling it, but it's definitely much harder to do it alone. Luckily E has been really good about everything. She's probably bored with me being the story lady at night. Only 2 more weeks to go!
