My quirkiness about organizing and labeling.
The first part of February was so wonderful. I was having more good days than bad days, which is miraculous. I did not take the good days for granted. I relished in the fact that I could go grocery shopping~~by myself. I was able to to get some of my house cleaned, although if you were to see my house now, you would flip a lid. I am always so amazed how it can take hours to clean, but only minutes, and even seconds to destroy the house. I just want to cry when I see all my hard work when kaput when I was not physically present.
I am very OCD and love my house to be cleaned and organized. I absolutely love putting everything in containers and, I am obsessed with labeling the contents with my handy dandy label maker. I am odd and I love to have all my cupboards, drawers, closets, etc. neat and organized. I hate it when people just shove things where ever, especially when there are labels! LOL! I find it so much easier to put things away tidy, so that my family and I can find things very easily.I love opening my cupboards, drawers and closets and relishing the tidiness of it all. . No clutter. No cuck. But, since I have become ill, I don't get the privilege of organizing everything while I clean because I end up over doing it and then paying for it drastically for days.
I am in the process of trying to spring clean by going through every room and DEEP cleaning. In the process of spring cleaning, I go through and see what we can donate because kids have outgrown their clothes or whatever. I wish I was Mary Poppins and I could get it all done with the snap of my fingers and singing "A Spoonful of Sugar", but I haven't mastered that skill yet.
Don't be fooled by my OCD cleaning issue, because my house can get pretty darn messy and cluttered until I am able to clean and organize all the things that need a home.
I know I am nuts, but cleaning and organizing is the best therapy for me. I feel accomplished. I feel of worth. Far away in dream land, is my family keeping everything neat and tidy. LOL! I have learned to let it go and not stress about it as much, but I am not gonna lie, there are days I gond crazy with all the chaos. Organizing is something I can control, since I don't have a whole lotta control over my body anymore. I can laugh at myself. My obsession with containers, organizing and labeling it all, has become a long time running joke. LOL! :

This is a fantasmic song and video that I can relate to, so well.
