I am sorry if I looked mad at the comment. It does make us think - "do I only super-clean when others are coming to visit??" And does it surprise everyone when it is just for us?!?! The hard part truly is - once you superclean one area it DOES show what else needs done. It is a never ending cycle. Paybacks?!?! I am sorry if I looked mad at the comment.

No one's coming over.". I'm thinking a regular rigorous chore schedule is in order! My kids have made the statement: “why do we have to clean our room? No one’s coming over.”.

I used to think the same thing when my mom started cleaning like mad. I need to do some serious deep cleaning in my bathroom this weekend. I'm thinking I'm going to scrub the floor....hands and knees style. Fun, huh? That’s great!! I used to think the same thing when my mom started cleaning like mad.

The logic behind that thought process I suppose goes back to the point of the post, which I must confess made me laugh at myself. I did get something done in cleaning my kitchen though today you should stop by and see.http://homegrownstrawberries.blogspot.com/2008/12/dishes-sigh.html Yeah I need to do that some time soon… very soon as we have guests coming for new year… The logic behind that thought process I suppose goes back to the point of the post, which I must confess made me laugh at myself.

Self-diagnosed, of course. I do that kind of scrubbing a lot...it isn't something to be admired. Yes, my kitchen is often (not always, but often) very clean. However, I miss out on so many things due to my OCD...making memories with the little ones whether it's because I'm too busy cleaning something or because I simply don't want them to make a mess.I'm working on it. I know my kids will not always be this age and I have years to clean when they're too busy for ole mom....just like anything else though it takes time and discipline and prayer...So, while I am glad your counters are sparkling....I hope your OCD like tendency doesn't rear its ugly head again for awhile.Okay...nuff of the comment that reads more like a whole email. Gosh, I'm long winded. You had me at OCD….finally, a topic I know which of I speak.
