WARNING: If you have a weak stomach do not read.

Warning; What I am about to share with you is totally gross! Its really bad.

Tonight I got home from working an expo late. Our house stunk sooo bad. I thought it was Adam's diaper, nope. Something in the fridge? Nope. Maybe some crazy funk outside had creeped in.

So I went along my merry way until I opened up our washing machine and was hit with the full force of something very foul. I have a front loader washing machine. It has a fold where water collects and you have to wipe it out. I do it quite regularly so I was a little puzzled as to why it was stinking. But I grabbed a paper towel and in the dark wiped out the trap. It was only after I turned on the light when I was what was on the paper towel from the trap.

A dead decaying stinking earthworm! How on earth did an earthworm get inside my washing machine. I am so grossed out. But worse my mind is racing with the possibilities. Maybe I have an earthworm colony in my pipes. Maybe Adam picked it up and put it in. Maybe it hitchhiked on some clothes...GROSS!

I am running my washing machine with baking soda in it. Hopefully that will get the smell and germies out. I am going to run bleach in it next. Totally disgusting. I have no more words for it but gross!

Any thoughts on how the earthworm got in my dryer?

Kyle says Adam or in someone's clothes. Has anyone been gardening? He also says that there is no way it could have come in through a pipe, so the two year old probably wins!!

As far as the smell - good luck!!
Love you guys

How can something so little make such a stink? Lucky you with a boy. I'm sure that won't be the last dead thing you find around your house... =)
