Ok, I am so dumb!!!!!
Remember the post about the paint smell???
Well, the wondering is all over with, I figured it out.
I used Exterior paint in my childs room LOL
How dumb can I be? I did not even look at the can. I just figured all the paint was interior.
My father said that its not recommended to use it in a room, but it will be ok, just take a few more days for the smell to go away

Just make sure you don't do what I did a few weeks ago--I was painting a cabinet, and ran out of paint before the last coat, so I went and got another can of (what I thought was) identical paint. Well, apparantly, the type I bought second doesn't go OVER the original paint, so it made great big bubbles appear all over the stupid cabinet, which then started popping, and peeling, and generally looking like a big gooey mess LOL!

Of course this had to happen when it's cold outside and opening the windows to air the house out would freeze you to a popsicle. . .Murphy's Law, I guess lol.
