Me

This is a picture of me...well, not exactly me, because I am human and not canine, and I like to think I am much hotter than this, but I am like a bloodhound with their nasal ability.
*sigh* What can i say? It's my cross to bare.
I can say this..ever since i became pregnant with my first child, I got what every pregnant women gets. The crazy, insane, not so prodigious ability of being able to smell things from a mile away, and it stayed with me after i gave birth.
Ever since Chase had the 'poop episode' on Saturday, it seemed his room was still less than fragrant...but it was like the smell was hiding. It was there, and then it wasn't; this game of hide and seek was driving me crazy.
If there is a smell that is not supposed to be there, meaning, a bad smell...i will search it out, find it, and destroy it.

It's my secret fear that my house stinks and someone that comes inside will notice, and then tell someone else that my house stinks.
So when I do notice a 'smell', i go on a 'search and destroy' mission.

When we had our one eyed cat, i was always worried the house would smell, you know, like old lady's houses that have cats, but i can assure you, it didn't. I was a devoted litter box pooper scooper. It was a job i did alone, no thanks to Eric who 'promised' to scoop it too when we got her, but only did it twice the whole time we had her. He's fired. I feared the house smelling like a cat. I do not miss scooping the poop...but i do miss Mrs. one eyed crazy cat.
I found the smell, only after bleaching everything , and washing every blanket and the sheets and the mattress pad, even tho i had just done that 3 days ago, in case the smell was, in fact, going to be forever invisible to the naked eye..
Turns out it was a sippy cup that had gone AWOL under the bed that i couldn't see because Eric has computer stuff in bins shoved under Chase's bed, and the concealed sippy was behind them, hiding incognito. But i was determined. I found it, and annihilated it.

Victory!
The score:
Amber-1
Smell-O

I am the exact same way about smells. I search it out and destroy it - I have the same fear about people thinking the house smells bad.
