I was never like this before!

This is going to be the beginning of a beautiful outlet for my anal-retentiveness.  I was never like this before I got married.  Often on teacher feedback forms my teachers said I was easy going. I could adjust and "go with the flow." Somehow that characteristic doesn't transfer over into my daily home life.
      Everyone told me going into this, "Marriage will show you how extremely selfish you are." I am finding myself to be more CRAZY than selfish.  I always thought my Mom was overreacting when she would come home from work and freak out over dishes being in the sink.  I always said, "It's no big deal, just go with the flow, Mom." I think secretly my Mother was praying for God to give me my come-up-ins. Its hard to explain the feeling, you know the one, you have been gone all day and you are tired and have a million things to do when you get home but the trouble is none of that matters until the dishes are done cause if you don't do them now they will never get done. Which will lead into odd smells coming from the food prep area and thats just plain gross.  As I thought this CRAZY was being passed down from generation to generation I realized other women were equally upset about the same things. I know, because they told me. So I must not be CRAZY. Right? At least not a bowl of CRAZY.   More to come :)
