OCD

So last night me and Crispin were talking. Its interesting on how different we view things in our life. Since I moved out of my parents house, I knew I wanted a life or order and cleanliness. I did struggle in my first aparment at keeping things clean but after a while, I found my self hounding my roommates to pick up after them selves. I look back at some of the things I did and all I can do is laugh. I honestly forbid a room mate from cooking fish in the apartment becuase I could not stand the smell it left for the 2 or 3 days that the apartment stunk. I also re-call having messy roommates and I would get so mad that I had to pick up after them that I would take all of their belongings and throw them right inside of their room so it made it hard for them to get into the bedroom. I look at my house and I feel like I am in over my head! I wish we bought a smaller house that I could thoroughly clean once a week! This house for me to clean top to bottom (to my satisfaction) would honestly probably take me 2 days straight! So I guess my question is how clean is too clean and how do I know when I am taking my "cleaning" too far! If i see a crumb on the carpet down stairs, all I can do is stare at it(and it will eventually end up with me getting the vacuum) and then I feel that my house is disgustingly filthy! The same goes if I have dishes in my sink! I honestly try to avoid looking at base boards! The funny thing is, my room is not the cleanest and it does not bother me that much! I guess I have no really cute furniture in there so I dont care what it looks like. So I was looking online about OCD because my hubby thinks I am over the top and when I think my house is disgusting- he thinks it looks fine. So anyways, I staumbled across a test and I took it, I think it was on WEBMD, but I cant remember. After taking the test, it told me to seek medical attention!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Crispin is right! I do have an obsession for my house to be clean! But I REFUSE to live in a messy house that stinks! I am just glad that I was able to recognize and have a wonderful website tell me that I need help! So what really inspired me to write my feelings down is, I have been watching the show Verminators today. I can honestly say I am GROSSED out! not only will my cleanliness be bumped up a knotch after watching this(sorry crispin), I am glad that I will NEVER let my house get to that point. One of the houses was INFESTED with roaches. They could not even pull out 1 thing in the kitchen and not have it be filled with dead roaches and the poop they leave. The saddest thing was they had young kids- 1 of which was still crawling- through all that filth! and then they showed the babies crib!! And I almost cried! When the guy moved the blanket, hundreds just scattered in the babies crib! I am glad that my kids will not grow up in those conditions and I can control that! Thank you Clorox, 409, Pine Sol and Mr clean! I truely do love you!
