Isn't it weird how certain smells can make you think of certain memories? I dropped off some CHD family kits to St. Mary's on Friday after work. As soon as I walked in the door I immediately smelled it. I don't know if they just cleaned the place or what but it was smelling very hospital like. I just about choked. It took me back to 3/25/10, surgery day. I pictured myself sitting in the awful waiting room WAITING. I'll admit, I almost broke down. Walked into 5B and heard the familiar beeping - UGH. Thankfully there was someone there to take the kits right away. I'm not sure how much longer I could have taken it!
A couple of weeks ago I was using up some old travel size things I had. I opened up some shampoo and it just happened to be the shampoo I used after I had Andrew and the few times I stayed at the NICU with him. It took me back to the little room in the NICU as I got ready for another day by my baby's side. Thankfully there wasn't much left and it is now gone.
BUT I am loving the smells of grills roasting delicious food lately thanks to this gorgeous weather! Can't wait for Dave to be home to cook me some burgers! Oh yeah and just to have him home. :o)

I totally understand the smells and memories. Songs do it for me too. Most of the time they're good memories, but then there are some I'd rather forget!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in your shoes about having the husband home! It's nice to have them around when they've been working so much :)
