I have always thought I had strong tendencies to be obsessive. When I worked full time I considered myself organized and efficient at my job. Now that I am staying home and have more time to reflect to myself on activities, it is blindingly obvious that I am more obsessive than organized.
Instead of having my office in perfect order at work, now the bathrooms in my house have to be clean. When I see a smudge on the mirror I can't help but pull out the cleaner and take care of it. The laundry is always put away in the same spot...etc. And all the stuff that never used to bother me when I worked all day (like the spots on the carpet that don't come out, the cobwebs in the corners of walls, the paint that wasn't applied just right) bugs me to no end! I am amazed that I couldn't realize how exhausted I was from working all day that I couldn't obsess about what my surroundings looked like. It just isn't financially possible to fix all the "problems" I see with my house for me to be happy with it.
So I was thinking, what can I do to solve my obsession with my home before I go crazy? It seems the answer should be spiritual somehow...I know I should be grateful for what I have, but I can't find the answer.
And, if I resolve my home obsession...what will be next? Maybe I need medication. :)

I think you're good to obsess on your home. How would it be to turn that energy towards your husband or kids. EEKS! Oh, btw, my bathrooms wouldn't mind your OCD attention. Ha!
Oh my goodness. It sounds like you just described me. It drives Jordan crazy. There is something about being at home that you notice all the little things. I pray everyday to be grateful for what I have and not what I want it to be like.
