The Smells...stop all the smells!!!!

My supersonic senses have been on overload lately and I just had to vent.  Here is what is putting me over the edge of sanity today.

1.  Cooking in the crockpot is great, but then you have to smell it all day long.  By the time you eat it, I'm sick of the idea of it.

2.  Last night, Doug decided to have a rare treat, some frozen shrimp, slow toasted in the oven for his dinner.  Seafood of all kinds is not my favorite thing.  In fact, when we go to restaurants, I encourage him to get seafood (which he loves) because then I don't have to smell it at home or clean it up.  I made him brush his teeth twice really good before he was allowed in bed.

3.  The past few weeks, we've had some sort of animals that made it into an inside wall somehow.  The scratching and clawing only lasted a few days and then the smell began.  I think we are on Day 7 of "THE SMELL"  It requires all caps because it is probably the worst thing ever to reach my nose.  I'm hoping the cold weather either freezes things up or it airs out soon because I can't even go near it.

4.  The bathroom.  The six of us are sharing a bathroom this year and I have begun to really miss having my own girl-y space that always smelled clean, had nice soaps and a big tub for soaking.  Having three little boys equals lots of missed aims and I look forward to the day I get my own grown up bathroom again.
