Happy Day!

Ah! what a wonderful organ the nose is! Don't you think so? I am a very smell oriented person...good smells like cookies baking make me happy, I'm affected by calming smells like lavender and Chamomile. Citrus gives me energy while Eucalyptus gives me a raging headache. So, imagine my reaction when my nose was affronted first thing this morning by what can only be described as a green fog that sapped all the oxygen from the room. I woke up coughing and I believe my first words were something like "Sammy! What did you eat?" Only to be given a equally disgusted look from Sammy, the cat, laying next to me telling me "It wasn't me Mom!, the one who smells it is the one who let it!" I stumble out of bed, seriously trying not to gag and follow my nose to the bathroom where I find that the toliet has decided to overflow during the night! Talk about disgusting! Luckily (if there is any luck in this story) it was mostly contained to the toliet bowl. So; I start my day with the hairs in my nose having been singed off and I can't keep any eyeliner on since my eyes won't stop watering! I Oh the joys of home ownership! Now I get to call a plumber out to deal with the situation, always an expensive proposition, and pray, pray that he wears pants that fit! I really don't think I could deal with any bottom clevage today!



I'm spraying room spray, trying to inhaling the pleasing smell of coffee and type while my eyes a still watering! Poor Sammy has to stay in the house and Cat's noses are way more powerful than humans! I'm sure I'll pay for that later; 1st for leaving him in the house (although I did close off the bathroom and tried to contain the smell) 2nd for referring to him as a cat and 3rd for blaming him for the smell! Children what can you do?
