Clean Freak

To be honest I was always in trouble as a kid for leaving things out, like my coat and my shoes. Now as an adult I am too often accused of being a clean freak. My husband just aggressively set his glass by the sink and reminded me it was his. That is his subtle way of telling me it is still in use and not to wash it.

It is not my fault that people leave out cups, bowls, plates and things and I scoop them up as I go by, put them in the sink and wash them. There is no crime in wanting to keep up with the mess. There have been times when I am too involved or too busy and it all gets away from me at a gathering and it takes hours to find and wash everything. It is so much easier to walk and sweep every hour, wash and let them take it fresh from the kitchen.

I just think being called a clean freak is funny, especially for a woman who almost never manages to put her shoes away until just before company comes. Sometimes I just hide them all under the furniture. 😂🤣😂
