The Kitchen Sink Challenge

So being a single mom has its challenges and one of those challenges right now is our kitchen sink. It wouldn't be so bad but we only have one bathroom with a small sink so it is not conducive to doing the dishes. So, we really need our kitchen sink back!

I could ask friends to help but I figure the more things I can learn to do on my own the better. Thus, we still don't have a kitchen sink...

The problem developed with the sink when one of my lovely children decided to see if a knife would fit down the drain. Yep, and the knife slipped from his fingers and was stuck in the drain. I commissioned my daughter's boyfriend to open the drain under the sink to retrieve the knife but the pipe was so old that it crumbled into pieces. Ugh!! So I went to our local store and talked to a 'specialist' and got hooked up with everything I would need to fix the sink. NOT!

The sink is SO old that everything is attached right where you don't want it to be and we are going to have to destroy the entire sink to get it out of there since nothing about this sink is cooperating the way it should.

This is typical of every job I seem to have to learn - the job is never as easy as you hope. So here we sit with no kitchen sink and it is quite interesting - suffice it to say that we are using paper plates and cups and plastic utensils and the microwave is working overtime! Who wants to try and wash a pot in the bathroom sink?

Oh the joy of realizing a kitchen sink should never be taken for granted,
