I have become my own worse nightmare. I am becoming one of "those" parents. You know, the kind that makes you want to say, "Get a grip lady, it's not that bad". As my nursery is starting to come together, I find myself being overly OCD about cleanliness in the nursery. I'm a neat freak anyway and don't like germs. This week I found myself Clorox wiping the blinds, the door handles, and the ceiling fan. Because we have a lady bug infestation in the house right now, I am constantly sweeping the nursery to get rid of the blasted things. Seriously, where do lady bugs go after their season has come and gone? Anyway, today I found myself Clorox wiping the inside of the dresser drawers, the rod the clothes hang on, the clothes hangers, and the shelves that I will putting stuff on, too.
That's not the insane part. After I wiped everything down, I decided that I needed to start washing and putting up the cute little clothes that Baby Rowland has gotten. After the cute socks, onesies, jon-jons, and sleepers were washed, I saw a need to iron them because they were a little wrinkled. Sitting in the floor with the iron, I just shake my head and think, "Oh no, I'm one of 'those' parents!" Does it get any better?
Should you see me doing something that is really insane, please tell me. Let me know that I need to lighten up!
The more kids you have, the less OCD you become. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that just after kid number 1 you lose some of those tendencies.
