I couldn’t escape smells today. I’m not talking about the freshness of clean laundry or freshly mown grass.
I’m talking about stink.
Last night I went into the basement and I was hit in the face with a smell of concentrated cat urine. We don’t own a cat!! I can smell lots of things (and as a mom I have-trust me!) Some things are gross but I don’t gag easily. Cat urine makes me cry. I hate it and once smelled, it takes forever to leave my nostrils. Since Son1 was the only person to enter the basement all day long, I called hm up and asked him what it was. He blamed his softball equipment. I smelled the bag but nope, that wasn’t it. I went to bed thnking that it would have to wait until he came home to take care of it.
Today, I passed the basement door and guess what was coming under the door? You got it. Rather than cry, I tried to ignore it.
I went outside with the dog and stepped in poop. Unknowingly, I tracked it into the house and into the kitchen. Lovely. I had to clean it. Not just from the floor but from the bottom of my shoe and from the step outside the door. Ugh!
Two year old wanted some juice. I opened the fridge and was assaulted with the smell of something rotten. I searched and searched. The other day, I noticed that some meat I had thawing had leaked some blood onto the fridge shelf. I cleaned that up but failed to notice that some had dripped down the back and puddled under the vegetable drawer. Well, today it made itself known. I cleaned that too.
While was occupied with the kitchen, 8 month old made a stinky in his diaper. Let me tell ya, big smells come out of small butts! I cleaned him too.
I needed to wash the rags I used for all the cleaning, so I held my breath and quickly threw in a load of laundry which included a pair of sport socks belonging to guess who? Son1. It seems that the hideous stench that was permeating my basement belonged to the socks. Not the bag. Not the cleats. When he came home, he seemed to think it was funny.
He showered, ate his dinner and left for the evening.
He left his gear unattended.
I am tempted to throw his shit away for the laughter. I wonder if I have the balls to do it?

on October 7, 2008 at 4:14 AMI wouldn’t throw it away, since you would end up buying new stuff out of guilt, hide it and let him freak out. If he doesn’t put it away it gets trashed – he will keep doing it but eventually he will learn
libragirls last blog post..It’s a bad day after all
Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 6:05 AMLovingAnnie-The stuff made a move to outside. It will then be moved to his car. Softball is over in two weeks and he won’t buy new ones now.
Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 6:08 AMTrukindog-Apparently the cleats got wet in the rain and then he took off the socks, tucked them into the shoes and left them in a hot trunk.
Normally he is the sweetest smelling person in the house. Not that the rest of us stink…it’s just that he likes colognes and body washes.
Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 6:11 AMlibragirl-I wouldn’t buy him anything! He will replace his stuff himself. It’s just that he will get rid of them after the last game. (Thank God there’s only two left!)

on October 7, 2008 at 2:12 PMI noticed the smell of cat urine in my mud room. Like you, I don’t own a cat. (Does anybody really *own* a cat …)
I’m sure the smell is coming from a shoe belonging to my 15-year old.
(Don’t you just love the butt-explosions infants produce that send a stream midway up the back of their Onesy?)

Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 2:13 PMCMG-In a house with three adult smokers, I am the ONLY one whose nose is sensitive to smell! Hubs thinks I’m imagining things and Son1 thinks its not as bad I manke it out to be!I live with idiots!
Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 2:15 PMdelmer-Your reference to the “butt-explosions” killed me! I keep laughing every time I think about the image. Of course it’s not funny when it’s actually happening to me, but still…!

on October 7, 2008 at 2:38 PMCheck out the South Park episode about cat urine and what it can do as a hallucinogenic. Ignore the title of the episode.
Well, maybe DON’T ignore the title
I loved Heavy Metal and this does a great tribute to it.

I’m a cold hearted bastard

Metalmom said:
on October 7, 2008 at 5:22 PMSlick-Yeah, but when these brats get sick I gotta be the one to listen to the whining that goes on…..just like you, whine,whine, whine….
Evil Genius said:
on October 7, 2008 at 6:22 PMI’d take son’s softball gear and soak it in something…pungent. Or perhaps perfume! Just think how he’d feel showing up for his next game smelling like a French whore!!! lololol

on October 7, 2008 at 6:25 PMEvil Genius-I see where you get your name!
The French whore thing wouldn’t work. Then he’d just smell like his girlfriend!

on October 8, 2008 at 1:08 PMBless you and your luck with the smells. That’ stinks!
The boy in my house thinks that rotten smells are funny too. Must be a boy thing.

on March 12, 2009 at 2:08 AMIf his socks smell like cat urine it’s probably his shoes causing the issue. If he has new balance shoes there’s a known problem with most of the shoes 05 and up b/c of a new material they started using once it gets wet it releases the smell of urine. There are many topics on it if you google it.
