It's only been a week without a bathroom sink but seriously this just might be my breaking point! I really, really don't know how long I can take this. Without a bathroom sink means that all 7 of us get to brush our teeth in my kitchen sink two times a day. NASTY!!!! How clean is your kids bathroom sink right now? I bet you got smeared toothpaste, spit and all sorts of stuff on the inside of the bowl. Surely my kids bathroom sink wasn't the only one???
I feel like I keep a pretty clean house. Kitchen dishes included. But I have come to realize this past week that despite the fact I do pretty good staying on top of my dishes my sink is rarely empty! Like almost never! I do the dishes after every meal but seems like there's a lone fork, cup or something that gets found and thrown into the sink. Bedtime is ususally the time I have issues with that lone item or two that was found. I can NOT handle my kids spitting and rinsing their mouth on my dirty dishes. That seriously grosses me out. Mornings are the absolute WORSE! Everyone's eaten breakfast, everyones put their dishes in the sink and then after their dressed, hairs done and what not they come back in to brush their teeth.... in my sink of breakfast dishes! No way!!! Not only are dishes now in the sink but chances are my very limited counter space still has a pile of pots and pans that were hand washed the night before and left to air dry because I am lazy like that. To many mornings after everyones left I come in to put away those said clean dishes to find toothpaste and now dried spit bubbles on them! If that wasn't enough... because we no longer have our "toothbrush/paste drawer" or a bathroom counter guess where all the toothbrushes and toothpaste get left? On my dang KITCHEN counter! I can NOT handle this!
Just for fun.... here is Maddie and Kylie brushing their teeth one morning before school.
So a little bit each night we have worked on the new plumbing for the house. We are getting our new plumbing in so we can get a real bathroom back again. I NEED a bathroom again!
We've got the water line, and the sewer line in for both the bathroom and the laundry room. While everything was open and easilly accessible we added a drain for the laundry room just in case one day our water heater or washer springs a leak and trys to flood us out!
On Saturday, Sept 29th Kory finished the plumbing and burrying everything. Hunter and Brayden went up in the attic to finish sucking out all the insulation. We are so close. This is all thats left!
Brayden loves helping!
When the boys were done the girls and I tore out the sheetrock and hauled it outside. We then spent some time taking out all the nails left in the trusses. We swept our mess, swept some more and swept a 3rd time. That insulation and sheetrock dust goes all over the place. When I felt like we got it all I mopped and we moved all the beds back into that room. It feels so good to know we are done with this part!
