I'm a neat freak.
I'm a control freak when it comes to my living space.
I like to put away toys before the kids are even done playing with them.
A random item out of place makes my skin crawl.
I know, I have a problem.
BUT, today I let loose.
The kids took over the house.
I have pictures to prove it.
I made lunch and left dishes in the sink & sprawled about.
The kids colored. I left the colored pencils out on the table.
I helped the kids apply tattoos. I left the wet rag on the ground & the trash flung around.
I didn't even clean up my "office" from the Valentine Photo Shoot the other day.
The kids built a fort in my bedroom. They lived it up...happily.
It felt good.
UNTIL it took me almost 2 hours (James' entire naptime) to clean it up.
I think I'll go back to my freakish self tomorrow.

I was just like you... two kids ago. It's so sad, but I've had to learn to let some things go, and being a paranoid neat/germ freak is one of them. I plan on going back to that lifestyle when Hyatt turns two. Until then, I'm not so blissfully living with clutter.
see, the universe is striking a balance because i have HAD to become like you (against my will. totally against my will). i admire your perseverance in keeping clean.
you are funny, and I can't let you in my house cause there are always things out of place. ;)
