For some reason if I had only five minutes to do anything it
would probably be cleaning. That’s only
because I have had too many times in my life where I find out someone is on the
way to my house and I would rush to clean all I could. Because of my mild case of OCD I freak out a
little knowing someone is coming over.
It’s never like my house is filthy by most standards. I just think in an old fashion way that your
home should be perfect when others come over.
It seems silly even coming out of my mouth. It could be that growing up in the army we
were never really close by to friends or family. My mom would scramble around and fret just as
much as I do to make sure our home was perfect.
I know that I got it from her for sure.
The hard part being pregnant, sick, and very tired I don’t have the
energy to clean the way I want to. My
second weakness is that I may like it clean but I’m also a huge
procrastinator. This brings us back to
what I can do in five minutes. Now I can’t
do dishes or laundry in five minutes but that’s because they are my least
favorite. I can put them where they need
to go and keep cleaning. I can sweep and
pick up toys. Lighting a candle is a
necessity. Generally have to wrangle
children and change a diaper and wash faces.
This could almost turn into an Olympic sport. My two year old has found a new enjoyment
into running from me when I need her.
She has also developed the knowledge of how to remove her pants and
diaper. This is happening three to five
times a day. Ever since I had kids my
OCD ness has come down a lot. I don’t
worry as much how clean the house is all the time because I have kids, dogs,
and cats. The real problem in my cleaning
life is the fact that I have white tile and grout. I would give anything not to have that.
