Have you ever had one of those days? A day when you honestly just shouldn’t have woken up? A few days back my day was filled with a screaming 7 year old (seriously, they can get pretty loud), a crying 20 month old, my aching back, a dirty house, and to top it all off, the dog was covered head to toe in diarrhea. But it got worse…

Once I figured out the dog issue was happening, I got him upstairs and gave him a bath. One large problem is the fact that I’m pregnant and have a horrible gag reflex, especially around poopy dogs! So after I struggled through giving him a bath, I called my husband and asked if he could clean out our dog crate when he got home, as I couldn’t handle anymore poop and I still had to make dinner, take the screaming 7 year old to karate while towing along a less than happy 20 month old. He said sure.

So after my cooking, running the kids around, then a late night grocery shopping trip, I still smelled like dog poop (I swear that smell seeps into everything, ugh). I just wanted to take a long hot shower and go to bed. I go upstairs and enter our master bathroom. Go to get in the shower and realize that all the bottles have been moved in our small shower. We just have one of those shower enclosures, we end up calling it a stripper shower because it’s just a small box, probably made from one of those shower kits.

Come to realize that my husband has cleaned out the diarrhea in our master shower, my haven, my getaway, MY ONLY SHOWER. So now I’m tired, smelly, and my whole bathroom has that dog poop odor. I have no idea if it really smelled like that or not, but in my head that’s truly all I smelled. After a heated discussion on why he decided to do that, and the still less than satisfactory answer of “It’s the only place that it would fit”, I went to bed without a shower. Even though he said he cleaned it out afterward, it made no difference to me. In my head the smell was still there and unless it was overpowered by some cleaning product smell, I wasn’t going in there. Honestly, it made me want to look into how much steam showers were going for, as I could only imagine steam getting that stench off my body.

I guess poop happens though!
