Lovely

Well, we were awoken (at 3:30 a.m.) to the world's WORST odor. I. KID. YOU. NOT. Tater got sprayed by a skunk, and it stunk up the inside of our house without Tater even coming in.... Ahhh! How many more days until we move into the lovely, clean smelling new house?

Our new goal is to finish packing the house, rid the house of the skunk odor, quit gagging from the odor, and spray lots of vinegar so we don't transfer this stench to the LOVELY new house!!!

In less than 24 hours we have:

- made 3 trips to Wal-Mart

- made 1 trip to Pet Smart

- bathed Max 2x

- bathed Tater 3x and sprayed him down with Nature's Miracle Skunk Smell Take Away stuff (it smells like alcohol and is quite welcoming compared to what he smells like now)

- eaten out 2x since our house stinks so bad

- sweated off a lot of weight

- opened all of the windows that we could in the 107+ degree heat (and add the heat index on top of that)

- bleached the bath tub and then cleaned it with comet

- poured baking soda on our carpet, and vaccumed, repeated with baking soda and iodized salt, and vaccumed

- lit a lot of matches

- inhaled a lot of fumes

- not slept very much

- sprayed my purse down with vinegar and water because I was in a store and noticed that I smelt like a skunk

- just about vomited on numerous occasions

Tater just finished his 3rd bath... Time for bed?!?!

P.S. I think my prayer at 6:30 (yes I went back to bed at 6:30 am) this morning consisted of "Dear God, why, why did you make skunks? They stink and are awful. They can't be very high up on the food chain. They stink. I just don't know why. Please make my house smell better." Pathetic, I know.

P.P.S. The bright side of all of this... CHASE WAS HOME FOR THIS DISASTER! I was/AM SO relieved about that. I'd be sleeping in my car and bawling more than likely.

Hope your weekend goes well and please don't judge me if you come over in the next 5 days and my house stinks, or if I have a lingering scent in public... it's just skunk!
