Plastic vs. Porcelain

I will start at the end, we have a new to us porcelain sink in the bathroom.  While I was going to check out my local habitat for humanity resale shop, I happened to have friends over, who happen to have a sink laying in their garage.  So this beautiful shiny new too me sink is now in my bathroom. 
The whole problem began a couple of days ago.  I thought for the first couple of days that I suddenly became an enthusiastic face washer and left a wet mess on the floor.  But after two days of this I decided to check under the sink and yes you guessed it wet puddle of water.  Luckily I learned in my last rv trip not to stow the toilet paper there. 
Upon further examination from my learning to be handy husband we found, that what I thought was a scratch in our plastic sink was actually a crack.  Not one but two.  My theory is that my kids stand in the sink when they shave. 
After utilizing some duct tape and silicone we patched it up located a new sink and while I was away taking kids to scouting activities tonight the sink fairy put the new sink in and just to see if I was paying attention installed the hot and cold on opposite sides.  While I was paying attention I love the sink fairy so much that I am not going to mention it right away, but bring it up casually, after the praise and adoration has lingered a bit. 
I am now the proud owner of a porcelain sink, a plastic bathtub and shower, a plastic toilet, but a real live shiny porcelain sink! 
And coincidentally I also cleaned out the storage under the sink and realized I brought to many cleaners.  If you pass me in the grocery store buying any cleaner just wag your finger and make the tsk tsk sound.  Hopefully that will be enough of a reminder.

Crawdads

Wednesday was errand day.  While I was out my children kept themselves entertained.  Learning to catch Crawfish as well as cook them and eat them. It was absolutely amazing to come home and see them knee deep in the creek.  They used the internet.  I had the first spark of being able to figure out this education thing.  You know the one where my children are exceptionally brilliant and well educated and ready to take on the world without leaving gaps in their pursuit of high education.  Well I cant promise all those things but the crawdads were yummy.  If all else fails I know my children can feed themselves.

Library

So my husband started his CDL class today and with him went the reliable WIFI.  So we packed up and headed to the library.  It took me back a few years to a time when we were at the library at least once a week.  The boys all picked books, some made 3-D glasses, and others played on the computer.  I think we will be spending more time in this great place.  I didn't realize how much I missed it.  We got very little "schoolwork" done and opted instead to do alot of learning.  So many appointments creep in when I come back to our hometown.  Its like this weird magnetic field.  So I cant wait to be on the road again back to that simple life I had a tiny taste of. 

A Month

It has been a trying and difficult few weeks.  I have found more triggers for my PTSD on the road then I ever imagined existed,  but I have muddled my way through mental as well as physical obstacles.  I have done a ton of quilting.  I have about five squares done and in spite of all my struggles my dearest husband continues to move forward.  We are back in kalispell for five weeks so he can get his CDL.  Then we are off again.  Hopefully getting South before the snow flies below 3000 feet.  In the midst of all my chaos we managed to squeak out some school and hanging this wonderful little shelf above our tv, so we have a place for the DVD player and remotes.  I am currently deciding if I should Velcro them down or put them away when we are moving. 
I am hoping to get my husbands side of the room cleared before Christmas.  Then we should be settled in.  So many little projects that want my time, in the end I prefer to spend them with my kids.
