Conquering OCD

I write this with complete pride and not an ounce of sarcasm and if you don't believe me, well, sorry. My goal this summer is to get out and see. To be brave, ask question, find my own way, make sure Kelsey's safe obviously, but get out and do. Normally I HATE HATE HATE leaving my house when it is a disaster. It is a problem. You may laugh at that "problem" but when you wake up at 12:30 without an alarm to change laundry loads, or 2:30 to clean a dish or two in the sink, or choose being late over on time so you can make sure the pillows are in the "right" place, or can't remember the last time you left the house without making your bed (even during the early morning seminary years) or dream about the cleaning you DIDNT do,  I think its safe to call it a problem.
Well I didn't/don't want to be that crazy mom especially this summer. I want to have a clean house and probably always will because that's who I am. I can't think with clutter and honestly I LOVE to clean, but I wanted to cool my jets a little bit. That being said I PROUDLY announce that as we have gone to explore our new city, I have left the house looking like this almost everyday. AND today I didn't even make the bed! WHAT?!!!
 Judge if you must but I am super proud. In fact I sit here typing and it STILL looks like this. Now I'll get bored between 4 and 6 waiting for Ethan and will clean it because I hate waking up to another day's mess, but I'm just so happy with the steps that I making.Like sincerely happy that my priorities are shifting from OCD to exploring.
