Nestof3 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This sounds like me. My list of musts: I only fold every 3 - 4 days because when I folded daily, the kids wore the same two outfits! My boys were like this too, LOL, but I have them get dressed before they put their laundry away so that they at least wear something different. :lol: I don't have a place to leave clean laundry since I fold it on the kitchen table. Our washer and dryer are in our kitchen. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I like things neat too. If I'm in a bad mood, cleaning actually makes me feel better. I have had a friend tell me that she liked coming to my house for playdates because it was always so clean and pleasant. But I don't clean as much as you do! My house is 3800 sq ft and it takes me at least an hour just to mop all of the floors, so I only do it once a week or sometimes only every other with some spot cleaning. I sweep several times a day so they don't usually look bad. I vacuum and dust several times a week because we have pets. The kids wipe the bathrooms and oldest does a bigger clean once a week. The kids keep the dishes taken care of after meals since I do the cooking. I do the laundry but my bad habit is that I hate folding and leave things like sheets and towels in a laundry basket in my room which looks cluttery. My biggest thing is clutter, every day we each have a "hot spot" to check- the counter by the phone, the table in the foyer, etc. That's where clutter always accumulates and I can't take clutter. Everything has a place and everything is in it's place. It sounds like you have a great system going! You've inspired me to organize my routine better and stick to it more consistently.

Michelle T Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I wouldn't use the word insane. Compulsive, maybe. Or obsessive. :) You definitely are beyond the norm in the cleaning department, but if it makes you happy, isn't taking away from your other obligations, and hurts no one, so what? I wish I had half of your cleaning energy! Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm at least comforted by the fact that you are the exception and not the rule. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
