Why I miss washing clothes by hand

Of all the things in the world to miss, why do I miss my hand operated washer and wringer?
When I left the SOM (in a huff) all the non-electric appliances stayed. After all, they were bought for the Silence. I came home to the wonders that included a dishwasher and a washer and dryer. my life should be easier, right?
I spent less time doing laundry when I washed it by hand. In about 3 hours, all the laundry for the week for a family of three could be washed, rinsed, wrung out and hung to dry. That included bedding, as often as not, and towels. Now, because I can do laundry at any time it feels like I have to do laundry ALL the time. There is no reason to wait for wash day - go put a load in. But I look at the piles and think "I could have all this washed by the time one load would finish in the washer". It would be done. And I could still do it, but without the wringer the clothes would take 3 days to dry. So I'm left, dissatisfied by modern technology. I can still hang the clothes to dry on our limited clothesline space, which helps, but I just want to have my washday back!
Ol' Blue the bike trailer is proving to be very helpful. I picked Daniel up from preschool with it last week, and got some much needed exercise.
