[QUOTE="Shari, post: 280829, member: 1848"] Crazymama, no need to run to the corner! I was just curious. But I don't fit that, either. Trinity/Step, I admit that among all the chaos, my pantry and my tool box are my "organized havens", tho I can function if they are in disarray. My pantry has all like items together. Peas in one spot, soup in a spot, corn in a spot, etc. The "spot" is irrelevent as long as its together. And if the kids get stuff out to play store and don't put it back in the "right" spot or back in order, its not big deal...I deal with it til I have some time to fix it. And this really has come as more a product of making daily life easier - grocery shopping is easier if I can glance in the pantry and see we are out of xxxxxx. My tool box...also came of necessity. The boys (all of them) would borrow it, leave it a mess, and lose tools. I became anal about organizing the tool box so I can see what's missing immediately and we can find it before its out of mind and I have to go buy a new one to replace it. I am currently missing a 9/16ths wrench, tho, and it has yet to surface. Toto - you just knock yourself out! Heck, I might buy you the ticket if you are so compelled to come clean my house! lol I will even re-fold my own t-shirts if you don't do it front-out! lol My mom comes and helps out on occassion and she never puts things in the same place I would, so I'm used to that part - some come on and have a ball! lol I have never been a neat freak, but before wee difficult child was a full blown difficult child (and after DEX left - he was a pig), I had a generally managed house. I, too, have had to learn to let some things go. Sometimes, they go too far the other way now, tho. LOL I think this doctor has just never had to live with a difficult child. This is survival, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
