123 Losers...20 Days!!

Only 20 days!!! Just thinks soon the countdown will begin with a 1! Like our weight!! Just wanted to say that I accomplished one thing on my list of things to do...I FINALLY got my bedroom all straightened up! Our room seems to be the drop off point for everything that we don't want the kids into..so that is done!! Whew! Just so you all know, so you don't think I am I am a huge neat nik!!! I have asthma pretty bad and if there is dust I have attacks, literally. So my husband calls me anal retentive and thinks everything is perfect and I am complaining the house if "trashed" anyone else having cleaning issues? Bizarre, I know! Nicole

Nicole omg you sound just like me lol I cant clean enough lately....I dont have a health reason for it, just being anal lol Your room sounds like mine too, anything the kids aren't supposed to touch or get into is in there. We just bought a new house on the 10th last month and thats the only room I have left to put together. Dh is grumpy at me lately cause I am being moody....kids are in hiding lol.....isnt this just lovely? lol Crystal 20 days to looserville and counting! 265/......../130

Hey! Nice to hear someone else has this issue! I actually have to take Zoloft for axiety...if I FEEL my house it messy I actually have a panic attack almost and get "moody"...that is a nice way to put it! I have 3 boys so they are not the cleanest....I would rather take the meds than yell at them, you know? I think I do that because growing up my grandfather died when I was 5 and my parents and I moved in with my Nana (my Dad's Mom), and everything always had it's place..if you opened up the cupboard door next to the sink, the PB and crackers were ALWAYS there. She always kept a spotless house, and we lived in it, don't get me wrong, but it never changed, everything had it's place...even in the cellar. You could always go down there and find exactly what you went for...crazy how we are raised affects how we act as adults!!

Oh for sure I agree...my grandma is still like that.....its almost like its drilled into your head,lol I grew up with my grandparents off and on my whole life and you can literally eat off of her floor. I have 3 kids also so when they go to great grandmas they know they better pick up behind themselves or watch out! lol I have a boy and 2 girls and they are all like their dad lol. Come in the door...then they leave a trail...sock here, sock over there..... shirts....pants.... you name it! But see he was raised totally different from me where as his mother and his side are not the cleanest housekeepeers and it drives me INSANE! He is much more relaxed than I am..but then again he's just a big kid like them anyway. Crystal

Hello to the 123 gang! I'm starting to catch the cleaning bug also. I think at this point it is nervous energy, plus I want to come back from the hospital with a clean house. If not, it will bug the heck out of me. 20 days to loserville!!!!!! Rebecca

Hi Nicole, I can not believe our count down will begin with a 1 tomorrow. I too am very anal about cleaning my house. My husband's cousin came over today and said to me that my house is always so clean that it never looks like anyone even lives here (except for my daughter's room, lol). She is 10 and I am trying to show her she needs to clean her own room and I am not always going to do it for her; but you know how that is. I need to get all the laundry and the cleaning done before my surgery because my husband will not be able to survive, and I will hate for my mother to come and have to do it. Well let's keep counting. Dawn
