Acardia [ey-kahr-dee-uh]

I was unpacking the groceries today and got to thinking. There are alot of rules in the house I grew up in. No dishes get left in the sink unwashed… We probably couldn’t afford a vacuum cleaner, hence my uncle would give us masking tape and make us tape the hair on the floor and we’d have to go on all fours to do it. Everything has to be placed back where you found it. If it weren’t my uncle would point to the mis-placed item and say.. ” hey u know what, the remote control grew legs and walked !!! ” sarcastically nonetheless…

So after this many years, it became a habit.

I got anal.

I am not the neatest person I know. I may not have the habit of placing everything exactly where I’d like to. Many a times I do blink away sights that would have irritated me and make me push away everything i was doing and start sorting things out.

Many a times i’d stand there stare at a clogged up area in the home and had it all planned in my head. I’d sit on the floor watching it for abit and walk away.

I admit I keep to some little quirk. The remote control NEVER grew legs. And i always make my bed.

So even with help available. One need to be able to keep one’s own home.

So tell me, What’s yours ? Hows you keeping your home ?
