C...D...O...?
YES!!!
Ladies & Gentleman...I HAVE OCD!
I know...to many of you that may come out as a shock "Really? OCD? Who would have thought!"...and to most of you who already know me...you're like "Oh Heeeeeeellllll No! OCD is a mild term for your sickness girl!" If you're either of the above, you might wanna bear with me through this posting!
So when people describe OCD they mostly like to categorize that as a sickness of some kind, or perhaps a mental disorder...or even you as being "weird"!
Hmmm Really?
I AM SORRY I LOATHE BACTERIA...DIRT....DUST...AND DISORGANIZATION!
As should YOU, but then...who am I to tell anyone what to do?
I've heard it all..."Bacteria is good for you...there are certain germs that benefit you!!!"
REALLY? The only two types of germ and bacteria I will ever let in my humble abode re: #1 WHEAT GERM and LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS! If you don't know what the latter means just google it!
So, if you're coming to my house be ready to remove your shoes, pay attention to detail while eating (even in the kitchen!) cause my ass is NOT gonna be scrubbing the floor and picking up your crumbs because you don't know how to keep your food in the plate! I already have one child and a husband to clean after!
You might get terrified when I oh so suddenly bust out the vacuum cleaner or a rag and wipe something in front of you. Don't worry, you may not have been the cause of the dirt specs...I might have just seen something that went unnoticed when I cleaned the whole house before you got here!
YES I organize things by sizes and colors, I even sharpen CRAYONS because they are uneven in the box! And of course I also color coordinate the crayons after that when I put them away.
A lil' much? Yes...I've heard it all "Monk".."weirdo"...whatever!
MAYBE!...But, at least when people walk into my house they can SIT DOWN without having a WIG stick to their butts, or gather 1000 crumbs all over them. They have clean cups to drink off of, clean toilets to sit on, clean floors where they can walk barefoot and feel a LOT more comfortable than in their tight shoes, they will be glad to eat the meal I prepare because they know my cooking surfaces are disinfected and they also wont have to worry about getting chemical contamination of any kind with BLEACH or harsh chemicals because I clean my house with ORGANIC products!
So there...which party are you on? The judgmental one that will crucify me for being too clean and organized? Or the "I endorse you're behavior" party?
Either party you join...be aware that when you come to my house you should feel comfortable...but when I go to your house...I might...JUST MIGHT bring my carpet shampooer over...or pull out your vacuum and start cleaning!
