Are you a clean freak/neat freak?

I have been called a neat freak on occasion. Everything in my house has to be organized my way (good thing I live alone), my closet is color coordinated with the hangers spaced exactly 1/2 inch apart, my books are perfectly spaced on the shelf (sometimes it takes me hours to get it perfect), I always clean the same way, like dusting furniture in a certain order with a certain rubbing motion. I could go on and on. I think I am more of a neat freak when I am stressed, because there are things in your life that are stressful that are out of your control and cleaning like that makes me feel more in control. It calms me.

On average I would say I am not a clean freak . I am definitely one when am pregnant , not sure why . I like things to be in order and not all over the place but I can handle a bit of disorder . I do my best cleaning when it is just me , when the little one's are napping and the older one's are in shcool and my husband is gone for the day . I like to take my time getting what I need to get done and not have to worry about stepping over someone or chasing someone out of room I am in .

Yeah, I do agree with you on that. I don't think that you are a clean freak at all because I do the same thing. I like it when where I am is clean.
