My spices are in alphabetical order. I have never understood why they think I have OCD. Never. I have always been a full time working mother. I have never even had a day off between jobs. Sick. However, I go to work before the cows get up. My husband always had the kid duty in the am and I was always home before the got out of school. This way, they could enjoy the financial security of working parents without being home alone. When they were infants. My husband and I worked 10 hr shifts with opposite days off. My mother covered most of the other days so that daycare was used very part time. The kids did great, my marriage suffered. There is always a price to pay for each and every choice in life. What I think I know for sure....my schedule does not allow me to get behind in anything. If I had more time, I would get less done. It is always easier to maintain a clean house than it is to clean a dirty house. I think i need to quit now because I can hear my buds yelling at me.

Well, perhaps I'll still talk to you, but I'll do it in that slow, gentle manner you save for talking to the elderly, or people you're afraid are going to leap at you if you startle them. I'm just sayin'...... If you tell me they’re in alphabetical order I will have to stop talking to you.

I was just thinking YESTERDAY that it would be nice to be able to have my spices more organized. My fridge is next to my stove and I was trying to figure out if there was a way to get a rack for the fridge or on the wall on the other side of the stove. Very cool. Where did you get those?

I have a feeling she just wouldn't go for it.
