Before I go to bed pillows must be fluffed, counters cleaned,chairs pushed in, remotes in their place and so on and so on. It can be exhausting at times. When I was little and playing at a friends house I use to help them organize their rooms. Sometimes their mothers did like that so much and would ask me to leave. I have often thought of turning my OCD tendencies into a career but the timing is never right. I guess there could be worse things in life to be. Glad to know I'm not alone.

You ...At first I thought you were talking about me. You missed having to watch the garage door close fully before pulling away and then returning to make sure that it really is down. I wish I had a "craft closet," in fact I wish I had a room that could hold accessories. On a tv show once I saw where they had renovated a house and behind the wall with the tv/stero/bookcases they made a long room with shelves on each side - It looked like an extra large pantry about 16 feet probably in length by 7 feet wide - perfection - I want that. I can't image not making my bed first thing in the morning. Our little fur baby Priscilla sleeps with us and sometimes she wants to lounge in the bed for a few minutes and I have to wait a little bit to make the bed but I could never go all day without making it - can you image getting into an unmade bed? Crazy! However, I no longer feel the need to be cleaning surfaces anymore and that is a good thing. I love all your ideas, especially about cleaning out the frig. Hey, better to be to clean and to neat than the opposite. <br />Patty at Home and Lifestyle DesignPatty Rumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977535013507924960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982623767287726798.post-26581994679901869852013-12-12T08:10:46.118-06:002013-12-12T08:10:46.118-06:00OCD sucks.

It really does- although the media has made it look kinda funny, but I do make it work for me ;) <br />My dad loves clutter and his office is what I would think of as a pigsty, but it WORKS for him. He can find things and knows what each pile is. I think the bottom line is that everyone has their own standard of organization, but if you are not comfortable with what you have then there are things you can do to change it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801153457160483490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982623767287726798.post-6977338764355310632013-12-12T07:59:06.594-06:002013-12-12T07:59:06.594-06:00I wish I had your motivation minus the OCD!
