Harbor Life Ministries

Where does time go?

I know I hadn’t blogged in a while, but our Harbor Life update mailing went out today and with the blog link in the email version, I figured I’d better check to see when the last post happened to be.

How did I get that far behind?

Here’s the deal: I’m going to go through my off-line journal and then back-post to the blog. I know that’s not really kosher and sort of defeats the “instantaneous” nature of a blog. I do journal almost daily, but my off-line journal contains a lot of mish-mash of impertinent minutia and private thoughts along with stuff that people would find interesting on the blog.

So…check back. I will promise to do my best to fill in the gaps and then keep up to date on this.

It’s a difficult adjustment for most new residents to make to maternity home life. Sara arrived Saturday and seems to be adapting.

At the same time, Hanna has had to make adjustments as well. As the lone resident last week, she enjoyed a relaxed schedule with a flexible bedtime and chore list. With Sara’s arrival, a cleaning schedule with assigned tasks and rooms was put in place and bedtime is now strictly enforced.

At 6 AM, each girl should be up and be ready to start household chores while Karla makes breakfast. Morning chores include dusting, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, and picking up/organizing/putting away.
