I just changed Wade’s messy diaper, because I could smell it!
Yeah, I know that’s not something you normally get excited about. But I’ve had The Worst Cold Ever for over a week. This was the first time in 8 days I smelled something. Anything.
I think motherhood gives you super-human odor detecting powers. When my sinuses aren’t stopped up, I can smell the mess in Wade’s pants from three rooms away. My husband on the other hand doesn’t notice it even if Wade’s sitting on his lap.
That or he pretends not to notice, knowing that I will, and then I’ll change the diaper instead of him. Hmmmmm…I smell a rat.
I know there were a few times this week Wade walked around with a dirty diaper longer then he should have, because I couldn’t smell it.
You don’t realize how much you rely on your sense of smell until you don’t have it.
How do you know when dinner’s ready if you can’t smell it burning?
How can find the sippy cup that’s been under the backseat for a week if you can’t smell it?
How do you know your cat thought the laundry basket was a litter box if you can’t smell it?
So handy, that sense of smell.
Now that my nose is working again, I’m going to go see if I can find the rest of the missing sippy cups.
I am glad you have your sense of smell back? I am not sure I am. That means you get to smell the total extent of the stink. At my house that isn’t always a good thing.

I always thought that on the list of senses to lose, smelling would be the easiest…but you make some good points! Visiting from SITS 🙂
I feel kind of bad for laughing but that cracked me up, and it’s so true too!
I am pretty sure my husband is guilty of “not smelling” the poo either!
