OCD overload!

Well, the good news is that we received our shipment of household goods on Thursday. Man is it good to see our things--especially our comfortable beds and couches. The bad news is that the house is a DISASTER! We had the movers unpack the boxes because someone here told us that if you take care of it yourself, you also have to cut down all the boxes to a regulation size or the garbage people won't pick it up. I just couldn't handle one more thing, so we asked them to unpack. Their version of unpack was 1: slice open the box 2: turn over and dump 3: move on to the next box. Needless to say, my compulsive need for organization has thrown me into a tizzy, filled with anxiety over where everything is going to go. We have moved from a 2200 square foot house, to a 1200 square foot house. But I'll say this, and I mean it with all sincerity...I have a testimony of tupperware. Above our stove is a completely useless cabinet. And what have I done? Turned it into a tower of tupperware. When I look at it I am filled with such pleasure. I know...I have a problem. No worry, my husband is a shrink.
In a related story, after we got Sydney's room put together, I went in and found that she'd labels her dresser drawers. I totally did that as a kid. I'm sure Laura, Jamie, and Summer are having a good laugh over this one!


And finally, Happy Valentine's Day! We made red velvet cupcakes and it was a pleasure to have all my kitchen gadgets around me while I baked.
