I'm very OCD. I could literally draw you a map of my house and where everything is in it. If something is left on the counter I put it back where I feel it should go. I don't like things being left out and I don't like anything out of place.
I probably drive the kids crazy when I am constantly cleaning up before they are even done playing with their toys. But I can't stand the mess or the chance of one of us tripping over toys on the ground.
I can't leave for a vacation without first doing all the dishes, taking out all the trash, doing all the laundry, cleaning, and just having the house completely mess free so I don't have to do it all when I get home. We will already have a few days of laundry piled up from the vacation to do and there will also be unpacking the car and suitcases so why would I want anything else to do when I get home?
I get stressed out when I have to leave my house suddenly and its a mess. Maybe that's why I am always cleaning it so if I have to leave suddenly it won't take much to clean it up before I go. My OCD is so bad that I even organize our clothes and shoes by color and style. Books and movies are kept alphabetically, and I even try to organize the items in our DVR.
I know its all crazy. Trust me I know. But I like things to be organized. I have been like this for a long time and although sometimes it can annoy others it helps me keep a little sanity in my life knowing where everything is.
