So, I have a streak of OCD in me...i'm pretty sure it's an Atkins thing, just watch my Dad pack a suitcase, or car or string lights on a tree, yup deffinately an Atkins thing. I never noticed it till i got married, and i now live with this boy, who leaves socks in the living room, shoes in odd places, and doesnt rinse the sink after brushing his teeth, oh and puts the TP on the roll the wrong way :D well i've worked on it, and the TP i let slide, because after all, isnt it true, if the man actually PUTS a new roll ON the thing thats a miracle in itself? But then, i had kids, Crumb snatchers, rugrats, call them what you will, they are MESSY! UGH My house is NEVER spotless, I like spotless, i LOVE spotless, i CRAVE spotless, but i have learned to be thankful for vaccumed, dusted and reasonable organized :)
Then, i went to make my first ever gingerbread house ...... thinking this will be a fabulous project for Grant and i to do, and he will get to use his little creative mind, and his OCD tendencies, (where DID he get those?) Well, yeah .... he did fine, but it was difficult ... for ... me ..... lines, not ..straight ..... candy not ...in rainbow order...... must be symetrical ....... ACK!
So, here is the result, my bones quiver with the crazy color patterns, and the lack of straight lines and symetry .... BUT my son beams with pride when he shows it off to his daddy and says ..."look Dad! Mommy and me build a house! With candy! And you can't eat it dad! Its for decorations!"
yeah thats worth it :)
and I DID get to do the roof myself ... which came out okay considering i had an 18mo. old pushing her highchair back and forth into my arm for half of it :P
