Day two brings unexpected lessons….
Day two brings unexpected lessons. How does a family of four learn to maneuver in a living space smaller than our bedroom back home? It has been quite the day.
Lesson one: A family of four cannot all shower and get ready within an hour anymore. Kids must shower at night from now on.
Lesson two: Do not unplug the shower drain except to release the water….under any circumstance otherwise the fresh smell of sewage will fill the entire cabin.
Lesson three: Two children in a small room=fighting
Lesson four: The kids need to spend more time at the cabin across the way deemed our “living space” while Dave and I nap
Lesson five: Multiple flushes per sitting. The toilet can only handle so much.
Lesson six: Cranky children=cranky mother and perturbed father
Lesson seven: Do not unplug the shower drain under any circumstance….oh wait…already said that….
Lesson eight: Do not tell our children they can collect all the sand dollars they can find on an isolated beach…limit the madness!
Lesson nine: Put our children to bed directly after dinner so that maybe by nine they will actually fall asleep.
On our beach walk today, so beautiful!
Lesson ten: God is good and has blessed us with this remarkable and beautiful area to live. We are content with a roof over our heads, children who are healthy enough to give us grief, indoor plumbing, and wonderful people to share the next four months with!
