HELP! My house smells like diapers & stinky dog!

We rarely have guests in our home, it's probably due to a number of factors but suffice to say I hit the panic button when someone new is to arrive.

The photographer who took Sam's photo in the hospital called recently to offer a free in home sitting and a free 5x7 portrait. Free? Why not? So she's coming today between 4:30 - 5:30 and I have all day to clean. Okay I'm kidding I'm not that OCD - I stayed up late last night getting most of the cleaning done. Now the only concerns remaining are stinky dog and cloth diapers rotting in spare bathroom.

What if she needs to use the bathroom? Better get those diapers cleaned this morning. But sadly just the simple walk from bathroom to washer has made my entire house smell like diapers. So the windows are open, all the fans are on, Fabreeze has been sprayed. This will work!

Is there time to wash the dog? Maybe I'll drop him off at Petsmart - oh wait husband took the coupons - nooooooooooooooooooo! They are always too busy for a drop off anyway. Maybe I'll wash him myself - that would be a first.

Then there's the porch - husband forgot to take the trash out so it's sitting on the porch with other boxes. Our porch is so ghetto.

Sigh!

Relax! When I was there last, I took no notice of any smells. And, I can smell a diaper smell if there is one to smell. Same with the dog. I didn't smell him when I was there. Your house looked and smelled fine. And I thought you porch was cute... not ghetto! Have a great photo shoot! What fun! Post pictures!! :) Also, When I have therapists at my house, I always apologize for the way it looks. They always reassure me that they have seen worse. I don't care as much, but you can betcha that by the time the visit is over, the house looks better. Haha!
