ARE YOU OBSESSIVE?

Are you obsessive?
Sometimes I feel that I’m possessed by obsession. And more often than not, IT follows me to the kitchen. Each time I finish a part of the menu I am cooking up, I do the dishes, wipe them, clear the place, put everything back, wipe the counters…& then begin the next bit. My knives have to be in the right place, the right knife has to be used for the right thing. I will not slice tomatoes till I find my serrated slicer, I worship my microplaner, my santuko is the only thing that slices my grilled chicken … & I’m the mistress of the kitchen. So much so, that when I chop, each piece should be the same size. The saving grace is that I’m pretty quick with the cutting, chopping and clearing up, otherwise we would have a ‘singing for the supper’ happening every night!
Things are slowly changing, & now I have company. The daughter is growing up, & she’s the regular teen with her head in the clouds. My knives are misplaced; my favourite non-stick is where I can’t find it, the ketchup is out & the cupboard is open … SIGH!! Sometimes I wish I was more chilled out, but it's not happening yet!
Wonder if I'm alone in this obsession; are you in there with me?

OMG, when I was like your daughter and before marrying, I was like her :P Didn't care. I did what I wanted and cooked how and what I wanted.
After marrying A, I end up cleaning obsessively after him. He thinks he can clean it all once he finishes for the WHOLE day. Can you believe that? And the cupboard door being open - GETS TO ME!!
