You Know I Gotta

Give the ol' Mother's Day report. And, it was nice. The kids either played in their rooms or downstairs, so I had some peace & quiet.

The Evil Twin did my breakfast bidding by schlepping to McDonald's for the rare treat of breakfast sammiches. He even vacuumed the area rugs, because Lord knows I wasn't going to do it and there were crumbs all over the japing place.

Otherwise, it was just a very laid back day. Sissy brought home a wrapped photo in a frame of her from preschool - very cute. Buddy was a stingy non-gift giver, but I still love him all the same. The Evil Twin made my day special by just being him and being considerate. I think it was pretty special!

I need to hit the Mart today, but it may be later afternoon. If not, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. I'm not in desperate need of groceries, but it'd be helpful if I could knock this chore out today. However, I have a mountain of laundry that also needs dire attention, so we'll just have to see how much I can accomplish.

My house is a wreck and I also need to do something about that today. I really don't know why I bother....in a day or two, it will be back to it's usual "Geoffrey
Giraffe threw up everywhere." and I have to start all over again.

Plus, there is an odd smell in or around the kitchen area. I've already talked about my crazy sense of smell:

"I have a very keen sense of smell - which is both a blessing and a curse, as you can imagine. I mean, if the house was on fire, I would be aware right away. On the other hand, if there's something sketchy in the trash can causing it to smell like a hot dumpster, well, I'm also aware of that right away. The air freshener companies get a lot of our money - sprays, plug-ins, etc. That's one of my favorite aisles at the Mart.

I'm all about the good smells! :-)"

Now, I need to locate the smell and eliminate it. I have Febreze, Pine Sol and any other cleaning product known to mankind in my arsenal. There WILL be victory here today. Let's just call this little project HO™ (the Home Office). The HO™ has all sorts of cleaning supplies on hand for nearly every emergency.

I'm off for the day - laundry is calling my name and it's lunch time, too!

I hope all my mom hooligans had a relaxing day yesterday and all my other hooligans had an awesome weekend! :-)

Love,

  1. Sounds like you had a great mother's day! And I'm like you...I have a super sniffer and can smell things others can't. It's both a blessing and a curse.

  2. LOL.... reminded me of a movie quote "THERE IS A NOTICEABLE ODOR ZONE SOMEWHERE ON YOUR BODY, AND I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOCATE IT
    AND DEODORIZE IT."
