Is it just me?

It usually is... so I'm kinda used to that.

But, why is it the day before we leave for a vacation - even if its just a long weekend as we are preparing for today - that I suddenly need to clean things. I don't just mean setting the house in order, vacuuming, making sure the sink is clear and the laundry put away.
Nooo, this morning I find myself on my knees wiping out under the sink.
And that was at 7:30.
It's gonna be a long day.

Ha! Ok, we're going away for the weekend too, and I'm leaving work early so that I can get home and do some house cleaning before we go. But, I'm doing it because we have a friend housesitting and I want her to be comfortable. I will not, however, be cleaning under the sink!

Because everything else is clean and you need something to clean. If everything else in the house is clean before we go away, I usually clean the windows. It's some sort of weird, freaky obsession with not being able to go on vacation unless I'm completely exhausted from cleaning. Thomas calls it obsessive compulsive. I call it being thorough.

It was dirty, right?

I do the same thing. It drives Betty Please crazy.

WISH I had that compulsion!

That isn't normal? Well, then there is nothing I love more than buttoning up a nice clean house before leaving on vacation.

Clean to your hearts content!

I never have this problem. My problem is that no matter what, I never want to clean. Our house reflects that.

I do that too! I think it's an inner need to return to a clean house....
