Are you a clean freak at heart?

Do you secretly yearn for a spotless home?

I always have. I come from a long line of terrible housekeepers. I was always so embarrassed. Our house always looked so bad. And it's not that we were poor either. We weren't rich - but there was no excuse.

I was like 12 when I started cleaning the house. And I had to clean 2 of them. My mom was single, so we were shipped off to our grandparents house every weekend - and every school vacation.

I can't stand a dirty house.

Since there's only 24 hours in a day, and being a working single mom - I have learned to live with a certain amount of clutter. But it's not what I secretly desire.

But dirt, grime, mold, and all that gross stuff I grew up with? No way. There might be papers and stuff on the table, and my desk is always buried - but the house is clean!

How about you? What's your level of cleanfreakiness?
