Yesterday I took a shower for the first time in the motorhome. Never fear, I wasn't not showering for two weeks. I've just been utilizing the bath houses at various campgrounds. However, at the campground we are currently staying in, I went in to take a shower the other day and as soon as I turned on the water, I realized it had an odor. Um, water is not supposed to have an odor. Plus, the shower area was very cramped anyway. A bonus to showering in the bath house is supposed to be that I have more room. Finally, my husband tod me the other day that he was pleasently surprised with how long the hot water in the motor home lasted - I think he said it was 6 gallons and lasted about 10 minutes continuously running. With all of that, I decided I may as well shower in a small stinky place inside my motorhome, and it went well. I took a second shower this morning. The biggest problem comes from my long hair; it takes forever to get wet, rinse, and rinse.Sponsors (article continues below)The other 'big' struggle, which I am losing, involves the cold. We went outside to play on the playground on Monday and it was COLD. It was about 37 degrees, and while we had warm, hooded coats, we didn't have gloves and we didn't have stocking caps. The hoods from the coats fell off continuously, and the kids' hands were like little red sticks or something. Hats and gloves were on the list, but I didn't realize they would be so cold so fast. We came in after about ten minutes, and Dawn and Mookie wanted to stay outside. They didn't care about the cold. But we came in and had cocoa, and they were happy. They love drinking the cocoa that Pawpaw bought them - it has marshmallows.
