So, at 4:00 this morning I woke up to a smell. SKUNK!!!! As I lay trying to fall back to sleep i was wondering how on Earth I could be smelling this all the way up in our bedroom which is on the second floor. Our windows are also weatherized for winter. I was finally able to fall back asleep trying to hold my breath (yes it really was that bad!!). In the morning we got ready for school and work all the while wondering why we were smelling this so strongly. Cian and I were running late so we hopped in the car and raced off to school. We still got their before the kids which was good because the first adult I met in the hallway asked me if I smelled skunk!!! How embarrassing! "No way", I thought! I confessed the situation at home and she helped spray me with room deodorizer ( I am laughing out loud as I write this so you can too). We checked Cian and luckily his shirt just smelled like bleach. The next teacher to walk through the door said that she thought someone hit a skunk with their car. (Our car, of course was the culprit(which was in the closed garage all night). The rest of the day was fine, until I opened the door to get back into the car......My goodness it wreaked (I swear I did not hit a skunk with the car). Then we had to go to the eye doctors and pick up Cian's new glasses. Inside the building I overheard someone say the word skunk ( I know this keeps getting worse!) We must have skunkdified ourselves by sitting in the car to drive to the office. Now I am mortified!!!!!! We get home and the basement and garage still stink as well the rest of the house. Our best guess is that a skunk was attracted to our garbages next to the garage and then got spooked and sprayed. Our furnace which is near the garage must of pushed the scent through the rest of the house. As of now you can call us stinky.....I am still laughing but with remorse that I don't know how long it will take to dissipate and if we will be the stinkies for long. It is not like I can tomato juice everything in my house right? Any ideas?

Oh my gosh! That is a funny story, I can't wait to tell the rest of the fam! Skunk is a horrible smell and will linger for awhile. By the way can Kevin smell skunk? I seem to remember that one of the kids in our family growing up couldn't smell skunk! Good luck with the smell removal!!!!
Kevin was having trouble smelling it at first...but once we got close to the source there was no denying it. He does not have a good sniffer in general though.
Oh Erin that stinks! LOL. Hope everything is smelling fresh as daisies soon!
