“Do You Have a Regular WORK Schedule in the HOME”

September is a good time to start to do some cleaning around the house – – as the children have started back to school – – and  now it will soon be, that time of the year  for “Birthday Parties’  and “Thanksgiving Day” and then there is “Christmas” followed by that extra special  “New Years Eve”  parties – and there just may be a few extra together parties for every kind of a just having a “FUN TIME”  – and what does that house look like – – “Is it ready?”

So, for myself – I thought that I would post a note of  work to be done  “schedule”  similar to what I was used to doing when in the Orphanage!  You would almost think that you were in some branch of  “SERVICE” as everything had to be done on a certain day of the week –  and at a certain time of day  – and depending on the “Season of the YEAR” – -just some extra special things had to be brought down from the “ATTIC” – – which meant even more cleaning and preparing for that “SPECIAL TIME” and all of us little worker bees “Orphans” did our helping things along!

From this “schedule, you can see that we did have a day of  “REST” which was “SUNDAY” we were all in Church, but there were still some daily tasks that were even done on SUNDAY!

Everyone does still “eat” and so the workers in the “KITCHEN” for each meal as well as for the “Dining Rooms” – there were those that had to prepare before and afterward, the cleanup crew – to prepare for tomorrow.

Every one had to “Make their own BED” except for the small children – – there were older children that had that chore. Since this would be “SUNDAY” – – we could not neglect  some special chores, so children with the chores of running the dust mops up and down the halls – – NEVER know when a “VISITOR” would be at the HOME – – and we could not be accused of having “DUST   BUNNIES” blowing around on the floors!

When we are having children,  I feel that it is a very good idea for the young children to start to learn  some easy to do tasks that will help the “HOME” always look good – – no matter how well the first “little one”  helps with the work to be  done – – it is the idea that if this is the “ROOF” you are living under – then we teach them  some things  are necessary to be taken care of – -and there are plenty of opportunities to try to do something useful for the benefit of the  whole FAMILY init!

There was an old saying, “The Family that PRAYS together, stays together”  and we could change a few words to,  “The Family that Plays together” and “The Family that works together” what ever the FAMILY does together – – will always keep the FAMILY united under their own “LOVING UNIT” – – that no one can break!

That is what a FAMILY  has working for them – – that they are always UNITED under one ROOF – – always looking out for each other – – sharing their LOVE to last for a LIFETIME!     D.V.
