The Stinky Day

7:00 am

I come out of the shower to find Jennifer eating breakfast in the family room. Why isn't she eating at the breakfast table? As I draw closer, I suddenly discover the reason.

IT STINKS!

Something like a skunk . . . Hmm. Suddenly, Nugent greets me with a kiss. YUCK!!! Now I know. Nugent, on his morning romp, discovered a skunk. My morning plans of packing 3 lunches, getting dressed, and getting my hair and face in some sort of decent shape were shot. Nugent needed a bath NOW! Needless to say, my day started out poorly.

10:00 am

The kids have not done the dishes for several days. The milk is souring in their cereal bowls - GROSS!

Guess what!! It STINKS!!

My son needs to clean his guinea pig cages. The odor drifts through the shared vent into my bathroom and closet.

It STINKS!!

2:00 pm

I check my Mary Kay unit newsletter. HEY!!! I won $100! Woo hoo!!

The tears that come to my eyes this time are not from a foul odor. That definitely DOES NOT stink! That's down right AWESOME!! Thanks, JUDY!

5:00 pm

I sit happily checking my email, wondering if something else incredible could possibly happen on this stinky day. Nope. Another unpleasant odors permeates my nostrils. Upon further inspection, I find the cat litter needs cleaned.

Guess what! It STINKS!

7:00 pm

A huge buck is spotted chest deep in our pond. How beautiful!

Now that doesn't stink either.

God sandwiched special blessings for me in the midst of my STINKY day. He has a way of turning even stinky days into incredible ones. YAY, GOD!
