Trying Simple Life in Taiwan

I attacked the dishes that have been in the sink for a week.......I know, that sounds bad. There weren't that many, but then I realized that people had been adding on to them. Remember we weren't home for a good 4 days either. We ate out (which is not like eating out in the states, you can find very cheap places....like $25US for a family of 6) the few days before we left too.

I had to go get a little bucket/pan type thing today. I then filled it up with hot water in the bathtub, then took it to the kitchen to wash dishes. Though the dishes were rinsed in cold water, it was much more tolerable. Since we don't have hot water in the kitchen, cold days like this are awful. I do boil water to pour over the dishes before they get placed in the rack for air drying.

The boys did one load of laundry today.I will do one tomorrow. I was able to sort some clothes out as well. Not really anything slightly femine looking. There are a few things, but everything has blue on it!!LOL!! grandparents to the rescue:-)

I am hoping to do crockpot bbq chicken legs tomorrow for dinner. I gotta get myself back into gear for all this domestic stuff--LOL!!!  Kids were told what breakfast is tomorrow, hopefully we can stick with it!

Baby has been kicking alot lately, but always stops when daddy tries to feel it.Ok, it's almost 11:30pm and I will be in bed with lights off tonight at 11:30pm

Must be tons of fun to tote water from the bath room! I have had to wash dishes outside in a metal basin filled with boiling water that was heated over a fire, and then later the same water was used for washing clothes. It made me feel like a pioneer (I did not mind though).

Hope your week goes well.

Sincerely,
