Um, can I be nesting...already??

I think it's a little too early for that stage of pregnancy, no??  Or, maybe I'm just an odd duck, seeing as how I'm already a borderline OCD anal freak about cleaning.  Like, no joke.  If you come in to my house and move a picture frame just a little to the left, I know it's been moved....and of course I move to back to it's 'place.'  Yes, I'm that anal.  I just can't help it.  It's in my blood to clean.

I laugh every time I watch Friends (my favorite show EVER, btw) and see Monica's crazy, neurotic character, who's obsessed with cleaning...like, literally thinks it's fun to clean....yep, that's totally me.  :P  It's guess it's just my 'thing.'  Whenever I'm mad, sad, frustrated...I clean.  And, the strange thing is, is that I love cleaning other people's houses.  I'd rather spend the day helping clean a friend's house, than clean my own.  Weird, huh?

But anyways, on to me 'nesting' today...

It all started with one dirty area of the kitchen.  I was putting away dishes, and when I went to put away one of those glass casserole dishes in the drawer under the stove, I noticed how GROSS the outside of the drawer was.  I mean, I don't get down that close to the ground very often, so I guess I just never noticed all the food/gunk that's been building up down there.  So, I break out the Lysol wipes and scrub away on the drawer until it's sparkling white.  Ahhh, much better.

Then I figured...well, since I have the Lysol wipes out, what the heck...I'll clean the entire stove now.  And, it just kept going and going from there.  After that, I cleaned the microwave, the counter-tops next to the stove, the coffeepot/dishes/knickknacks on top of the counter-tops.  Then I moved on to the refrigerator.  I cleaned the entire outside of the fridge, from top to bottom...and then I moved inside and cleaned some of the shelves (apparently I was being lazy and didn't feel like moving all the food on the shelves, so I just cleaned around everything.  lol)

Then I finally realized I was pooped!  I hadn't sat down since I got home from work 2 hours earlier.  Whew!

So, um, yeah...I think I have a problem.  I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come for the next 8 months.  I'm going to be one tired mama if I keep this up!  ;)




And, on a totally random sidenote....Hubs totally offered to take me to see Eclipse tonight, multiple times!  Awwww, I love my baby-daddy.  :)  We're going to go sometime this weekend.  Yay, I can't wait!

I'm a crazy cleaner too! I can totally relate to Monica, and my friends call me "Mon" when they come over because they think I'm so ridiculous about cleaning. Glad to know I'm not alone. Your hubs is so sweet to go to eclipse with you. Enjoy!

I think that I have the OCD in common with Monica too, but you just put me to shame with that!! Happy cleaning :)

haha I would say nesting has begun for sure! I found that my nesting habits came in spurts though, so hopefully you won't have 8 months of freakishly annal cleaning!

I remember reorganizing our ENTIRE house at like 5 weeks - so, maybe it is nesting, lol!

I'm a cleaner too...so if I ever got pregnant, my "nesting" would be insane! Just think of it though, your house will be spotless :).
