Current mood: disgusted
Like I mentioned earlier, Adrian went to Irvine for a conference all day, so I would be soloing Mia from early morning to bedtime. I was alittle nervous about this since she has been really moody lately but she decided to be an angel today and treat her Mama good. YAY!!!!
We just hung out like we always do, I did have the TV on alittle more than I usually do for the simple fact I was TIRED from having a rough night the night before. She would watch her shows for a bit, then go around and play with her toys and ended up completely WRECKING the whole downstairs. It was literally littered with tons of toys everywhere, but I let her I figured I would clean it up once she went to bed. Now that she is in bed, I am like Meh, I'll deal with it tomorrow haha!
It was really chilly and even drizzly today so the park and a walk were out of the question. So I let her run around the house as much as she liked. She rarely cried or fussed and was in a pretty good mood most of the day... then the explosion happen... no not Mia this time something else...
I was in the livingroom where the TV is. Mia came running around the corner with her slippers in her hand. She wanted me to put them on her so I was just about to sit her on the couch and put them on when we heard... BOOM!!!!! It was a loud unexpected noise. It scared Mia and she almost started to cry. I wondered what it was but figured it would probably one of her many balloons popping. After putting on her slippers I started to investigate. I walked into the kitchen and WHOA! the smell hit me. Right around the table area. I looked all over and I couldn't locate the source of the smell. It was like something had burned, like hair or dust or trash or something. I checked around the area, the balloons were all still filled with air, the light fixtures were fine but the smell was getting worse. I started to get scared of course my imagination ran wild. I thought maybe something exploded in the attic and is on fire and the house would catch on fire. I started to stress out desperately looking for the source. Finally I ended up calling Adrian but he didn't answer his phone, so I called my Dad and right away he walked me though all the things I should check out ie. the water heater, AC unit, air ducts, circut breaker, lights, ... everything. Everything checked out fine. From my description my Dad kept saying it sounded like a fluorescent light exploding. Thats when I checked out old turtle light and sure enough it REEKED there so bad! I quickly threw the lamp into the garage and washed down the wooden stand. The smell is still here and its driving me nuts! I am literally sitting here with my shirt over my nose trying to type since its worse here around the computer area.
Poor Mia, during that whole ordeal she was just running around and trying to get my attention here and there. I really didn't have the time to tend her to while I was making sure our house wasn't on fire. So when everything settled down I tried to make it up to her, thats when I realized she had gone poopies!! OH NO!!! Poor baby sat in it so long her little bootie was almost rashing up!! So I quickly gobbed tons of baby rash ointment on her and she felt better. Of course the diaper change didn't go easy. She doesn't like to get her diaper changed and while I was tending to her rash she decided to grab herself and get a handful of destine!!! Her whole hand was white!! OH NO!!! She looked at me confused and started shaking her hand trying to get the cream off! I quickly buttoned up her diaper and tries to clean off her hand the best as she could, but only after she spread it to her other hand! Sigh.... eventually I got it all off and she was good to go.
The rest of the day went pretty well. She has learned to talk on her play phone which I think it really cute. Overall the day was great other than that smell that still haunts me... YUCK! I gotta end it here the smell is literally making me sick and queasy!
