Sorry it has been so long since I've posted here. This happy wife has been "happy mommy" blogging instead. However, since Kat "tagged" me on her blog...I thought I'd take a minute to share 6 of my many quirks...now all I have to do is narrow it down to six :-)
1.) The oddest of all - I actually fold and color coordinate my underwear drawer. There are even special bins for each category. This falls in line with my color and season coordinated closet...and MY clothes are all on BLACK hangers...David has his own closet with all the mismatched hangers. Although I must admit, after becoming a mom, this strange quirk has become less frequent :-)
2.) When I look at David, I look at his lips...not his eyes...his lips! Don't worry though, it's just something I do with him...or at least he's the only one I've noticed I've done it to. If there are others of you out there...I'm sorry, I swear I'm not trying to be that creepy!
3.) I like younger kids. That in and of itself (I hear) is craziness. Most people can't wait to get past that stage. I, on the other hand don't know what to do with or how to relate with kids above 4th grade. That, and many times I prefer kids over adults...weird I know! All that chaos...I LOVE it!
4.) OK...so everything has a spot in my house! I love having help...but usually I end up re-doing what the "helper" has done...it drives my husband crazy because of the added work I put on myself. I'm constantly re-doing, re-organizing...it's craziness!
5.) A messy house will actually affect/effect (never could get those two right) my mood. Yes, as dumb as that is...if there is a messy room...usually the office, I have to move to a clean room...if they're all messy...watch out! I go nuts...and what is even crazier is that I will mentally pick everything up in my mind, but be too overwhelmed to do much more. At least if I have a clean room to go to I can regroup and begin to make a plan of action.
6.) Things have to be even, not crooked, and/or spaced correctly. If something is off I HAVE to fix it before I can continue. It's horrible. I do it when I'm having a conversation. I do it in my own house, and what is even scarier is that I do it in other people's houses too! I've also been known to notice dust or crumbs and start cleaning that up too.
**Disclaimer** I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I will be honest and tell you that I am not a clean freak practically speaking...my house at this moment is a mess (and yes it's making me moody)! Nonetheless, these are my quirks, and I'm blogging about them instead of cleaning (that should tell you something)...I prefer things this way, but practically speaking...with a new baby, company for 6 weeks, fun trips, etc...let's just say life happens and I'm learning to go with it!
BTW - I hope you are all having a spectacular summer! Keep up with www.larsenkids.com for our summer happenings!
