I also like to have everything in it's place and tidy. I don't have children yet, but with my furbabies, they have to be looking sharp at all times. I do the haircutting myself, so they are always groomed and bathed. I also HAVE to be on a schedule. When I don't have a schedule, I freak out and am a very unpleasant person to be around. Luckily, my husband is much the same way as I am so we make a pretty good team. But he is not a germaphobe like I, so that is something that I am currently working on because I know it can sometimes be ridiculous.

I guess maybe I am really more like in the middle then. I'm not a germaphobe, but I don't want to take chances and somethings just totally gross me out. I do like to have everthing in it's place too and I'm on the guys all the time to get this or that put up. Right now I'm going through this "thing" with my son. I have a throw rug in the boys bathroom that belongs in front of the sinks. Every time I go in there lately, it's moved to the wall. I HATE THAT!! It doesn't belong there. I've told my son that if I find it where it doesn't belong again, that will be one day without video games (he's only allowed to play them on weekends for 2 hours each day).

My husband is definitely not like that at all. He is a real slob. Like I said before, he has a garage that will hold 4 cars real close, but you can't get a car in there. I think I would be more picky if I had newer furniture and carpets or laminate. But I can't afford it now. I would totally love to redecorate, but then I'm afraid I would become very neurotic (sp). I use to be VERY picky about all that, but as I've aged I've relaxed a bit.....I think.
