Friday update

The smell is gone!!! It must of been the plug ins or my children just have been showering better then normal. So this weekend the children go to their OTHER grandma's house, or as they call it MaMa Pam's stinky house. Now that is a bad smell right there. She is a nice lady and all but can we say cancer stick. She smokes a pack every so hour it seems. I swear one day I walked into her house and she is standing in the kitchen with a cigarette lit in her hand, one in the living room going in the ash tray, and one waiting by her hand to light once the other is gone. She is the definition of a smoker!! The fact that she smokes is her choice and right but she chooses to smoke the cheapest ones which are Palms or something like that name and then if the Filter ones are on sale she buys those and cuts off the filter part. She is HARDCORE!!!! What is funny is she will out live us all. Bailey and Molly just smell so bad when I pick them up that I throw them in the bath tub for a hour and drain and re run the water twice while they are in there to get it all out of their systems. I can always tell when anyone has been to her house. Chris could at least never lie about being over there because you could just smell it on his clothes. EWWWWW!!!!!! I hope everyone has a good weekend and I will have more stories to tell later on.

Report on the stink

I went into the house and yes the smell was still there. Granted it was not so bad but it was still there. I think though we figured out what it is. It is not a dead animal, it is not a sewer problem, it is not my daughters, it was rotten Plug ins. I stole from work these old plug ins that we had for at least two years. I plugged it in on Saturday and started to use them, that is when the smell came about. So I made Bailey go behind the entertainment center and unplug what we had plugged in and within a hour we noticed it was not so bad. So today is the test. When we go home I will open the door and if it smells like normal we found the problem. If it still stinks, on to other things. Also to those that may crash at my house, the smell is not that bad, it won't make you sick, it is just funky and I want it gone!!!! So don't be worried to come visit. The invite is to all of you readers. Come visit the house of fun!!!! We will wear tiara's and boa's and dance around in our underwear for the neighbors to watch!!!!!

Stinky House

I have a very stinky house. I have no clue why, but I do. It STINKS of something dead. Yes it is sad to say that I know what a dead mouse smells like. When we were younger our home would always for some reason have a hidden, moldy dead mouse in it that we would smell for at least a week before dad would eventually hunt it down and throw it away. Well Monday after being at work all day and then opening the front door to my house the girls and I almost threw up the smell was so bad. It was not just any small regular mouse, we are thinking a squirrel or cat has decided to die in the house somewhere and it is tormenting me from the place beyond living. Oh my the smell was so bad I instantly called my Dad, doesn't everyone call their dad when something is wrong?? I will be married,42 years old and I will still call my Dad to fix things, that is the kind of girl I am!!!! Well I convince him that the smell is so bad I might have to move home if he does not come over to the house and find out what it is. He decides after maybe having me live with him for a night that he will go over tomorrow and figure it out. He then asks me when I first smelt something bad in my house so I have to fess up and tell him the story of Molly. See Molly was at a sleep over and got no sleep at all so on Sunday she was just a waste of life laying on the couch and watching movies all day. Once in a while when Bailey and I would go inside we would smell something, but I just assumed it was either Molly's feet or she pooped in her pants, (yes my daughter still does this if she doesn't get to the bathroom in time). Finally after smelling her or it forever, I decide to sniff her, this causes her normal ahhhh, whine and she yells at me, well she had pooped in her pants, so I scoop her up and throw her into the shower to clean her up. I then, after she was all clean kept smelling it, so I threw her underwear out into the trash can and hoped the smell was gone. I had lit about 20 candles so in my mind the smell was gone, I thought I had a rotten daughter and that was it. So after Dad yells at me for allowing his grandkid to poop in her pants he informs me he will be done tomorrow. Well today is tomorrow and I got the call, he does not smell a thing. THERE IS NO WAY!!!! He must not have any smeller in his nose left because I swear when I get home it will knock me over. So of course since he is in my house he tells me everything that I need to do to fix it up. Well I think he just found himself a hobby for winter time, HELP MY DAUGHTER CLEAN HER GUTTERS, GARAGE, FURNACE FILTER, VENTS AND KIDDY POOL!!!!!!! (yes the kiddy pool is still up and being used for this black water stuff that is growing in it)

I am raising my sister

I believe deep down that my sister has for some reason put all of her fear and imagination into my oldest child Bailey. I spent an entire night alone with this child of MINE that I love deeply and the whole time all I could think of is I am seeing the past, it is just really weird. Let me give you some information on this. I have an older sister, she is intelligent, brave and hates TARGET. (we will talk about the hatred toward target at another time) But when my OLDER sister was about 10 or so she was not so brave. Becky (that is my sister) and I lived in a old two story farm house and we shared the same bedroom, not because we didn't have enough rooms to have our own but because my MOTHER forced us to share so we would become best friends. My mother was correct in this idea, it worked, my sister and me are very close. She puts up with my dirty boys, I put up with her indifference to Target and we always have a great time trying to drive my mother insane. When Becky was younger she was scared of going upstairs by herself, going into our bathroom by herself and sleeping by herself. To get me to come with her or do these things with her she would tell me she had to share a secret with me, or bribe me in some way to go upstairs with her. How funny it was to my mom to hear a little voice from the bathroom yelling "Christine I need to tell you something, I have a secret to tell you" My mom would laugh and laugh and watch me go inside till she was done. I am telling you all this so you can imagine how I feel toward my oldest child. Saturday night we are without Molly, it is just us two. I know all ready what a scared little thing Bailey is, she can't go into the laundry room without Molly, the bathroom is never without Molly and her, also she would never ever be able to sleep without Molly with her in the same room. Bailey and I are having a blast just enjoying each others company. Bailey keeps referring to how not tired she is, she is so not tired, she could stay up all night long. (this is also not like Bailey, she loves to sleep) So finally I ask her if she is ready to go home and get into bed, then it starts, the web of how she is going to not sleep alone. She is ready to go home but not to sleep, like she said before she is not tired. So I tell her that is fine but I might just lie in bed and if I fall asleep she will be by herself. Well, she thinks we need to pick up Molly because she is sure that Molly wants to come home, I assure her that if Molly did want to come home the phone would ring and we would go get her. Then she is quite in her little seat, finally she speaks, "Mom, I am not so sure about being in my room by myself, I just don't want to get lonely" so instead of telling me a secret or bribing me she has thrown out the I AM LONELY CARD!!!! I let Bailey know that she can since she is not tired, and just lonely, she can watch tv in my room and sleep with me if she wants. She perked up like you would not believe. We get into bed and I have the tv on, then she pats my arm and tells me that she is so happy I let her sleep with me because she had been worried about being lonely for a few days now. What a crack up she is!!!!!! Man I tell you what, Becky if you can give any advice on why she is so scared let me know, please!!! Also are you feeding her these lines, I am waiting for her to bust out the I have a secret line that I use to hear all the time. By the way I am also, forcing my children to share a room, till they are about 14. They will be the best of friends because of it I swear!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!
