I'm not sure I wrote much about it at the time, but I was seriously shocked at how easy life was when Joe and Ellie were in Florida. I did take some short cuts that wouldn't fly for every day life (Frisco and I ate dinner in front of the TV every night, I think) but also, the house was totally clean and picked up. A lot of it was just that one kid is so easy to take care of (no fighting or feeding of each other's tiredness and crabbiness) but also, like you mentioned, I was the one who made the mess/wanted dinner/needed clothes and so I didn't mind doing whatever it was because either I messed it up or I wanted it different.
