Smelly!?

So I have discovered a horrible smell in my house today. Not sure what it is have checked all the trash and removed most of the garbage bags from the house (we have multiple trash cans in case you were thinking I had several bags laying around) so tomorrow I will be scrubbing floors with hot water and bleach and floor cleaner. Hopefully I can get rid of the stale smelly dirty diaper smell.

On other news, Saturday the hubs and I attempted to drive out to Robertsdale for my stepsister's graduation party and our van died about 5 minutes from my dads house. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! was all I can say about that. For any of you that can remember the craziness we had last year with our van dying all the time and noone (not even dodge(you would think that at least all of them of people would be able to figure out their own vehicle) it was not a good flash back. We managed to get it back to the house barely I mean like we pulled into the driveway and it died again. Not Cool. We get it towed over to our car shop that actually did figure out what the problem was last year and they called to tell me it was our air temp sensor that had come loose and also our throttle was very clogged and dirty. After getting that all cleaned out and plugging the sensor back in tightly they test drove it a couple of times with no problems. I picked up it up today and it ran so smooth and took off without any problems or any hesitations. YAY! Now hopefully this fix will last us at least 9 1/2 more months and than we can replace the vehicle completely.

We were also in the process of saving up to replace our ac unit that died on us right before our car died so needless to say its been a kinda stressful time lately. We are just dealing with the lack of air in the main part of our house by hanging in our bedroom and offices in the part of the house that has ac.


I guess this is all a sign that I need to really start and hit my Mary Kay business hard if I sold everything I had in stock we could replace our ac unit. Hmmm.... Now how to figure out how to get it sold anyone who is reading that would like to buy some I sell to anyone anywhere and would be happy to send you a catalogue. Just let me know.

Had my nieces over the other night and sometimes they make it so that we are glad that right now that we don't have any kids and the hubs view them at times as a great birth control. While I agree at times we still want children and wish at times we could just get preggo the old fashioned way. Especially now at times when everyone it seems is preggo around me, from family members to friends. While we are not doing anything to prevent babies right now and would be ecstatic to have 2 lines show up on a test it makes me relax to knowing that most likely it won't happen the old fashion way. We can enjoy each other as well without any worries of whether or not I took my pill or do we have condoms or anything like that. And financially speaking except for getting our emergency fund going and stay going (i.e. no emergencies) we are set for a baby we dont have any house payments or car payments or anything like that.

Well I have pretty much caught up on here, so I will scoot for now to spend time with my honey as we celebrate tonight 8 months of marriage. Hard to believe that we are 2/3s of the way thru our first year of marriage.

So I have another possibly gray area to bring up. (I like doing these gets you to really think). I have been watching Sister Wives on TLC. I know I know some would disapprove but anyways I am grown and its a clean show. First of lets just get this out of the way, I dont approve or agree of their lifestyle and how they choose to live. I dont think its right and they shouldnt be living this way. Okay now that that is over, What are everyones thoughts on the present investigation into their lives? I understand that it is illegal to practice polygamy in Utah and that by doing the show it would open up a huge can of worms. However I do not believe that they should be prosecuted for it. That their lifestyle is because of a religious belief and practice. This isnt something they are claiming to be just to get away with whatever they want, from all appearances (and I know appearances can be decieving) they truly believe this is the right way for them to live. All the wives are consenting adults when they were "married" there is no child abuse of any kind present (sexual, emotional, physical, physcological) that we can tell. They are not forcing their children into this lifestyle and marrying them underage and to older men that have several wives. All of his wives were from what I personally can remember them saying on the show raised this way and in this belief and many at least 3 of them had sister wife mothers if I remember correctly. I mean you can be gay, you can be straight and have several sexual partners and even have children with multiple people and stay that way and continue to see multiple people and not be prosecuted. I know that he is legally married and that take it to a different level, but what is the difference between that and an open marriage. If you agree to be in an open marriage where you see other people there may be at times for periods of time where one person is seeing someone else or sleeping around. Like I said I dont agree with what they are doing and how they are living their life but I also dont think that they should be prosecuted and sent to jail and the family all split up. I mean arent we in American trying to keep the family unit together and dont we (as in America we) teach tolerance to others such as bobby who has the two mommies or susie who has two daddies, or sally whose mommy sleeps around and has several sexual parteners, or johnny who has no daddy  or might have a daddy but no mommy and yet their parents are not proscuted for living a different lifestyle of their own choosing. Shouldnt their religious beliefs although not the norm be protected by our constitution. Isnt this considered where the government is stepping in and saying you can believe this this isnt a religious practice we approve of and for lack of a better term going against what our forefathers wanted with the seperation of church and state (i know thats not in the constitution or anything like that and that it was written in a private letter i know i know; like i said lack of a better term) Anyways would be curious to hear other peoples thoughts
