Me smell pretty one day

Lucky you I just realized I haven't posted yet today! I'm still in my pajamas, so is Mr. M, but at least I showered. I woke up at my normal 7:20 to get the kids up and fed and out the door. About a week before school started, our neighbor behind us called asking if I knew any babysitters that are able to drive to the bus stop. We live in the middle of nowhere, and a babysitter is worth the weight of their house in gold. One that can drive? Ha! They all have the maximum amount of kids possible, because there is only ONE daycare within 15 miles and they have a 2 year waiting list, and they simply don't make cars that big or enough Tylenol to handle getting that many kids into a car two times a day. As it turns out, we both have our children the same weeks, so we decided to carpool since she only works 2 days during the weeks she has her daughter. So, she drives 2 days, I drive 2 days and then she drops off and I pick up on the last day of the week. That means I only drive 5 days a month. ROCK ON! So, after getting the kids out the back door, I promptly headed back to bed for a long nap since Mr. M kept me occupied last night rather late. Are you bored YET? Because I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!

Once I finally woke up, I showered, yea, I even washed with my favorite lavendar body wash. Let me just break this down for you. I HATE ALL scents except for Lavendar. We have lavendar everything. Even those horrible wall plug in fresheners. They are lavendar and chamomile, because chamomile is very light and not overpowering at ALL. Mr. M decides we need some of these things for the carriage house, but he gets a lovely scent which I labeled "Hawaiian Hineyhole." I plugged it in, and 5 minutes later almost puked my guts out all over the 9 inch pinewood floors. I unplugged it. We went back a week later. Mr. M decided to be a smartass and plug it in without telling me. As I sat down on the couch I looked at him, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SMELL?" No you didn't. I immediately unplugged it and threw it out. Mr. M then proceeded to yell at me in Target when I wanted to buy the right fragrance because I had to buy the holder as well because it's from a different company. He wins and we buy one that is lavendar and vanilla. Mr. M calls and says "it smells like shit in here" last week before I had driven up there. HELLO! It's the vanilla! You CANNOT ruin the purity that is lavendar and expect to smell roses. Ah yes, so back to my shower.

Once I was cleaned and semi presentable, it was already time to pick the kids up as it was a half day. This means I pretty much got nothing done today. I have spent a lot of time over at BehindTheCounter.com reminding myself why I do not step foot into Walmart. Maybe they have cheaper lavendar wall plugins though....
