I'm Really A Neat Freak

Photobucket

  • I am a total neat freak.  And I have a come a long way.  I am no longer concerned with order and neatness.  I can finally let things go.  In other words, my house is messy.  But I have kids.  And a husband who is more pack rat than I am.  And that is saying something.
  • I am looking forward to getting my new glasses.  I will be able to see better.  Seeing is awesome.
  • I do have little quirks though.  I have two sets of plates.  They can't be mixed.  They have to be with their friends.  When I am lucky enough to have cash in my wallet, the bills must be in sequential order and all facing the same direction.
  • I fold my towels a specific way.  The bath towels are folded in thirds, the hand towels are folded in half lengthwise and then in half again--this way it is ready to hang straight from the cupboard.  
  • I load the dishwasher a specific way.  I think we all do this.  But let's face it, all dish washers are not created equal and therefore require a special pattern for the assembly of the dishes.
  • My quirks aside, I am not really neat.  I wish I was smidgen neater than I am. But then...I have kids.
I feel so much better now that I have come clean once again.  Come and join the confession party with Glamazon and Mamarazzi!

I could probably never have children - I feel like when I'm babysitting or when I was a preschool teacher, I'd follow the kids around and pick up behind them! Interestingly enough, my house is a mess...

Something about wanting parents to see a sparkling clean room I guess!

Happy Friday!

Lol love this post. It is just back and forth between your little obsessive neat tendencies and then the fact that well with kids it just doesn't happen.

My kids are my excuse for a cluttered house--it's kept relatively clean, just cluttered. Our other excuse is we live in our house.

Hey at least you fold your laundry... my in-laws were over this week helping us lay carpet and before they left, they folded my clothes for me :)

If you were my neighbor, I'd definitely have you over to load our laundry, dishwasher, etc. I have to warn you, there might be one or two things that humankind has never seen in there.

i'm a little compulsive over some things, others not so much. I used to be much neater before I had big dogs and a husband. Now I overlook thing that would have driven me crazy years ago.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
