1. You have such an urge to spring clean and re-organize everything, that it drives you crazy not knowing where you will be living in the next 6 months.
2. Your urge to spring clean is so strong that it seems to be all you can talk about when people ask how you are doing or what is going on in your life.
3. Your enthusiasm is so persistent, that one of your friends has contemplated inviting you over to clean her house.
4. You find yourself re-organizing cupboards and closets constantly, to use space more efficiently of course, and your husband can never seem to find anything. =)
5. You lose sleep over trying to figure out the best way to organize your children's toys.
6. Some of your favorite shows to watch on TV are the ones on TLC and HGTV that have to do with cleaning and re-organizing people's houses.
7. You find yourself spending hours in the "Container Store" getting all kinds of great organizing ideas.
8. Your favorite things to shop for are different kinds of storage containers, shelf re-organizing systems, etc.
9. You spend so much time re-organizing and cleaning, as well as obsessing about it, that you have no clue what else happened this week.
10. You have passed your obsession on to one of your children, who know freaks out if things aren't put away correctly, and they find joy in organizing their toys instead of playing with them.
If you answered "yes" to any one of these, you might have O.C.D. If you answered "yes" to all of these, you need some serious help. Okay, so I answered yes to all of the above, and I admit, I have O.C.D. But in my defense, I am also nesting like crazy. I have an overwhelming urge to prepare our home for 2 more children more than anything. This of course includes a lot of re-organizing because 2 more kids, means a lot more stuff. By the way, we do now know where we will be living, which was such a relief to me because I have the spring cleaning bug, nesting bug, and O.C.D.
