Can you smell that smell?

There is a smell in my house. I can't find it. It is near my kitchen, that is all I can tell. It is not the trash, the disposal, the fridge the floor. It is nothing obvious. I'm trying to avoid lighting a candle and pretending its not there, but it is. I want it gone, it is embarrassing. I'm afraid someone will show up, take on sniff and think I am some sort of messy pig. I'm not. I'm clean. Well, as clean as anyone with a 20 month toddler can be. I won't lie, my couch and carpet may have a few hidden Yo-Gos and Cheetos, but nothing smelly...I don't think. My son does have a habit of hiding his cheese and his milk inside pans in my cabinets, but I don't think that is it either. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I the only grosso with a smell in her house? Shit now I'm embarrassed I wrote about this...I've got to go, I need to search my cabinets for milk and cheese.

So my 20 month old son likes to get into every cupboard in my kitchen. Usually he gets into whatever one is closest to where I am. I was doing something random and he got into the cupboard and quickly darted into the living room with something in his hand. I just barely got a glimpse of it and I didnt know what it was until he said "ba ba". I suddenly knew what I saw. Of course I knew it was a bottle but what I didnt think I had seen was a mass of curdled, actually now a chunk of rotten cheese, surrounded by yellowish fluid that had seperated. He was in mid mouth to nipple action when I swooped over as ungracefully as I could to snatch it out of his hands. Needless to say we keep better track of the bottles we give him now.

Hmmm, maybe it's just because you're pregnant. I know I always think I am smelling all kinds of weird things too that nobody else seems to be able to pick up on...

BTW: Yay, you made it to cute part of the ticker now where the baby finally starts looking like a real baby already :)

My mother had an animal (mouse?) die in between her walls. Her house smelled awful forever. There wasn't anything she could do except wait the smell out (or tear out her walls).
