| PiePiper | 02-04-2009 02:59 PM | I'm OCD about everything having to be in order and in it's proper place. I hate change and I lived in the same house for 35 years. I don't move furniture around and like routine in my daily life. My husband is medically disabled and has been home for the past 3 years. I was use to him going to work about 6:00AM and coming home about 7:30PM. He usually worked his days off so he was hardly ever home. Now he is home every day and nothing is in the proper place and there is no order. The first year I went crazy trying to keep everything neat and in place. After about a year of running around cleaning, rearranging everthing my husband moved around I had to let go of a lot of my OCD behavior. I was killing myself trying to keep everything in order. I'm happier now even though there are times when there's clutter, dust and tracked in dirt on the floor. I got tired of stressing over the little things. |
