Rotten Potatoes?

Ever smell rotten potatoes? Well, that is what my van smells like right now. We're having some trouble with it, so I've let it sit for about a week. We got in it last night and were overwhelmed with the stench. We've cleaned all the trash out, but it still stinks. I assume one of the kids has stuffed something under a seat, behind a seat cushion, in an ashtray, etc that is ROTTING. UGH! Pretty yucky!

I have horrible PMS this month. I cannot even stand myself---I'm sure my family is ready to flee the city. I keep trying to consciously adjust my attitude, but it is just not working. So, while I know it is not Christ-like, I have given into it and will allow myself to just be cranky for a day or two.

Yesterday, our boys were playing in the front yard with some neighbor kids. Through the window, all of a sudden I saw 5 boys running like lightning and screaming at the top of their lungs. Our 3 burst through the door, all hollering and screaming at once. I finally understood they had run across a nest of yellow jackets and had been swarmed by them. My youngest son, Bryce got 4 stings, but otherwise they all escaped. I ended up staying home from school...between Bryce's "injuries", my PMS, the cost of gas--I just decided I was due for a night off. And next week is Fall Break for me. YIPEE!
