The smell

I have come to the conclusion that having small children =smelly house.  I know some of you may have already knew this, but it is a new revelation to me.  The bathroom always smells, even after cleaning it.  The kitchen smells like old food, cooking food, or dirty diaper in the can.  The living room smells like ahem, gas.  The baby room never smells like baby powder, it smells  like curdled milk and flannel pajamas that have had stinky diapers in them one hour too long.  And last but not least, our sanctuary.  Our bedroom always smells like bathroom.  With multiple people in the house looking for a quiet place to relieve themselves, of course mom and dads bathroom is the most  obvious choice.  And flushing the toilet is optional, right?
So that is why, when you visit, my house does not smell like flowers, or sugar cookies, or any other thing pleasant to the senses.  Children, happy happy children, live here.
