The culprit...

I spent the last hour and a half dusting my furniture, sweeping the whole downstairs (1400 sqft of hard floors) and mopping.  I have a headache from fumes, and a sweaty sore back.  I try to keep a clean house...truly I do...but with husband working 60 hour weeks, dirty summer kids and a 150 pound mastiff, it's hard to keep up.  So, I normally don't do all that in a day.  On a normal day I would vacuum...(I do vacuum just about every day - I think it's one of those OCD things) clean the dishes and if I'm feeling ambitious, do a load of laundry.  Why would I go beyond the norm  you ask?  Because IT is stinking my house up.  I don't exactly know what IT is, but I am determined to find IT.  Every day for the past week I have stepped into my home with a whiff of "Ughhh" in my face.  Could it be my massive mucky mastiff?  Or the remains of a sweaty child on my couch?  Perhaps a dirty diaper that lost it's way from bum to bin...I don't know.   So, I've dusted, swept, mopped, cleaned kitty box, bathed kids, and Sam is next for a bath.  I am burning approximately 241 candles to get rid of the stench.  I have an older home...over 100 years old.  I love my home and I worked so hard to get the "old people" smell out of it.  So, who knows what or who the culprit is...but I will find you...and smother you with the aroma of a Bath and Body Spice oil in no time flat...

Oh, and I had to show you some faves of my last few sessions I did...if you've already seen these on the website...sorry...I'd like to hear some feedback on how you like my site.  Also, did you notice that I made a nifty new banner for the blog???
