OCD.


Tuesday, January 18, 2011

I guess I'm officially a stay at home mom with no baby. Friday was my last day of work, and I have found that I am filling my time by obsessively cleaning. This might be more than nesting and qualify me for psychiatric help.

- - - List of Accomplishments - - - 

Cleaned oven
Cleaned microwave
Degreased stove
Washed all cutting knives
Individually washed each spice on the spice rack
Reorganized pantry
Sterilized fridge + freezer
Dusted kitchen chairs
Washed outside windows + screens
Rinsed windowsills
Had Jared take off the heater panels and wash off with the hose
then vacummed inside of the heater vent
Vacummed underneath and behind all furniture
Washed base boards
Swept outside stairs for cobwebs
Shook out rugs
Attempted to de-stain the tupperware of spaghetti sauce
Cleaned out filing cabinet
Shredded documents
Organized bills + insurance
Washed baby clothes, towels
Packed diaper bag + hospital bag
Sterilized computer keyboard

And that was all yesterday. Today I move on to the bathroom. Tomorrow the bedroom. I am a neat freak, but I would have it no other way. I have found it very rewarding to clean the abode whilst NSync is offering up goodly tunes. Ah, the great boy band era - there's nothing like it!

  2. I'm so glad that you've accomplished so much BEFORE the baby comes...cleaning drops on the priority list once baby consumes your life :)
