I have the heebie geebies so bad right now. 1:45 am I just woke up to give Rigdon a bottle. Yes he doesn't sleep through the night. But neither do I. So after I fed Rigdon I went to the bathroom to pee. Sorry to be so vulgar but seriously . So I am in the kids potty ( it's the kids bathroom so I can say potty) and I hear all this scratching and things getting what sound like knocked off the shelves through the wall. So on the potty I am trying to figure out if it is from the laundry room or the garage. So I get done in the bathroom and go check on the guinea pig in the laundry room. Mini sleeping.
Open the door to the garage thinking that my cats are being naughty up on a shelf or some other cat got locked in the garage and is freaking out. So I walk into the garage. Bruiser is right by the door, as always. She starts purring. I am looking around for Crookshanks who is by far the naughtier of the two cats. No Crookshanks. But I still hear something in the right side of the garage. I figured it was a scared cat, so I waited a second. Out from behind a bin and the weight lifting set (the one that is collecting dust and has fabric boxes all over the seat, yeah that's the one) a head pops up over my 3 x 2 x 4 ft piece of green foam. I think that is one skinny head for a cat. It is staring at me. I am starring at it. It comes closer. I go like 1 inch closer to go pick it up. It comes even closer. I see a white patch starting in the middle back of it's head. Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!
Luckily one hand is still on the door. I open it and slam the door. I start yelling for Jay. He totally doesn't believe me. I am freaking out telling him to go in the garage and open the door. He's telling me to go do it. He is not fully awake. Otherwise he would clearly know there is no way in hell I would step one foot back in the garage. He keeps telling me he doesn't want to get sprayed. I keep telling him your the boy it is your job.
By now I am shaking and have goosebumps. I know I am a pathetic girl---you should see me with spiders. Yuck! Jay is telling me it will just go away. I am telling him how will it go away the garage door is shut. Finally I convince him to put some clothes on. Go to his car in the drive way back up to the street, park the car, open the garage door and wait.
He calls me 10 minutes later all he's sees is Bruiser. I swear it is out there. I told him he can stay out there all night until it leaves the garage it is not staying in my house. ( I am thinking he should have taken the portable dvd player with him) 10 more minutes it finally meanders out of the garage. Jay shuts the garage door all the way. Tells me to it walked out and to turn all the lights on outside to make sure it isn't around so he can come back in the house.
I am still not convinced it is out. Jay is one smart guy and brought the garage door opener with him. I ask him to please just open the garage door a little just in case it is still in there. He does. Which typically I am the person that double checks all the locks before bed and makes sure the garage door is shut all the way like 3 times ( we leave it open a crack for the cats during the day). Tonight I don't care if someone comes and takes my crap out of the garage just as long as that stinky skunk is out of my garage by morning.
Jay comes back to bed and tells me I make to big a deal about everything. So Drama---WHATEVER JAY!!!! It was a skunk. What if it sprayed me or the kids. He told me the smell would go away after a while. Thanks Jay :)
Anyway I can't sleep because now I have adrenaline rush. All I can see are those little black eyes. Hello There was a freakin Skunk in the garage. In all the "drama" I woke Cambryn up freaking out. She started asking Jay about skunks
(she was a little scared. I have no idea why).
For the love Cambryn just started throwing up .and has a bloody nose too. Good thing I am already up!!!!! Back to cleaning towels and yucky throw up bowls---- I guess it could be worse. I could smell like a skunk! Wish me luck Nighty Night!

Wow! That is quite the story. I can totally see my husband acting the same way...something about lack of sleep makes them SUPER cranky! Glad that stinker is gone!
I TRUELY feel for you! The skunk and the barf! I hate skunks too. When I was in 6th grade a skunk sprayed my dog and the whole house smelled for weeks. You did the riht thing. Get the man...it is his job!!!
Okay, I'm totally laughing right now. I'm really sorry though, I can't help it. I'm only laughing about the skunk though, not the puke. And the fact that you decided to blog about it at 1:30 in the morning.
So funny. I can't believe you added a pet skunk to your zoo. J/K That would freak me out. But I just can't help but laugh. I do feel bad that everyone is sick at your house. My kids got the cough and fever. Better than throwing up .
OK I am almost crying I am laughing so hard. So sorry. I hope you made it through the night and that you are all better soon. I hope the skunk stays away too. No fun. Glad you didn't get sprayed. So, Alisa says you are dropping the pounds like crazy. Wish we could go to the gym together.
wow! quite the drama there at your house between the throw up and skunk. that sounds like how i reacted to cockroaches in texas. at least it wasn't inside your house.
Thanks for the great laugh this morning! Nothing else around here is making me laugh. Great story!
lol that is too funny! Good thing you didn't get sprayed. I hear it takes forever to get the smell to go away-- unless you bathe in tomato juice. (maybe its just a roumor). I'm sad you've all been so sick. I don't know if its better or worse to have everyone sick at the same time.
I'm sorry too, but I was laughing the whole time I was reading. Even the barfing part too. I'm really sorry! But at least you didni't get sprayed! That is so crazy and your cat is so lucky too. I'm glad you made Jay get up. That is totally a man duty. I'm glad your fabric was safe too! You crack me up.
You are so funny girl ... glad to know you didn't get sprayed !! Have a great week - love and miss you !!
OH MY GOSH! That is the funniest story I have heard in a while! I love the banter between you and your husband.....maybe the funniest part ;) I would have done the same thing! Hope everyone feels better soon!
Ewwww! I'm glad the culprit was properly removed from the garage.
Great Story. It's nice to start the day off with a laugh. Better your house then mine and I'm glad you didn't get sprayed. I am finally getting the hang of this blog thing!!!!
Holy cow Cyndi, you are soooo lucky you didn't get sprayed. Tell Jay that scent stays for weeks....months. Especially since it's so hot, it'd take forever for it to go away. Seriously he has no IDEA how horrible skunk spray in a house would be. Good thing it left! And good for you for making Jay stay until it left!
Hey! I just noticed your order on my friend Stephanie's blog (Thisnthatboutique.blogspot.com). So cute! You're going to love those adorable chore charts!
You are braver that I am. If I heard a noise in the middle of the night I wouldn't go out in the garage! I'd send Cory! Glad it went away.
Um, I know it's wrong to laugh at your expense but it's waaay too hard not to. How'd it get IN there in the first place?
Yikers.
What a husband comment to not be the least bit worried about a skunk! Justin would've done the same thing and I would've been freaking out too!
enough shunk--What's new? Is the extra baby just killin' your time or what? Wait to you have 5!
Cyndi, where are you? Must have new post!
are you okay? i've missed keeping up with you via blogs! now, i think i may have to actually have to CALL and see how you are... :0)
