Compared to my laid-back life of a stay-at-home momma (aka not changing out of my pj's unless I expect guests), this coming week is going to be quite busy. It will go as follows, with other things thrown in last-minute (aka Chinese style), I'm sure:
Thursday: Chinese lessons for 2 hours in the AM, teach 4 hours in the PM, girls night in the eve
Friday: small group in the AM, office hours in the PM
Saturday: all-day trip/trek to Beijing IKEA. woo!!
Sunday: NOT set our clocks back b/c DST doesn't exist here (a post on why you shouldn't complain to come next week), rest, fish fry for team dinner
Monday: teach 2 hours in the AM and 4 hours in the PM
Tuesday: all-day trip/trek to Beijing again for various items I'll discuss later
Wednesday: teach 2 hours in the AM, office hour over lunch, teach 4 hours in the PM, team meeting in the eve
Thursday: CRASH
I'm sure I'll have a lot more respect for Michael by the end of all of this. :) Bonus: He has already created the lesson plans for me, and they're on health! Excited to get back in the groove a little!
I asked Michael if we were going to completely switch roles (ie, he does the cooking, shopping, laundry, etc.) His response: never mind, I'll teach my classes. Haha I'm sure he'll pick up some of the tasks, but probably not the first 2 mentioned. :)
Thanks for the comment on my house post. I'm soooo jealous that you get to go to an IKEA!!!! I would love to spend a couple of days there--but the closest is 6 hours away! I'll be praying for you as you go through this busy time! Thanks for the great updates!
