		<description>My wife and I are almost perfectly matched with respect to the clutter that we leave around.  The difference, when she decides to declutter, is that she just puts things &#039;away&#039; in the closest possible place.  Losses this year:

1.  Pair of suit pants that were folded up with towels.  Cost: $400.00 to buy new suit when needed plus approximately two hours of searching (pants found two months after meeting that required suit.
2.  iPhone headphones.  Gone forever.
3.  Workout headphones.  Gone forever.
4.  iPhone armband: Gone forever.

Today I found a letter opener that I&#039;ve been looking for in the bottom of my sock drawer.  

On a serious note, I&#039;ve begged and pleaded to this to stop.  I spend at least an hour a week looking for mystuff in every conceivable drawer.  I&#039;ve even taken to putting a tupperware bin at the base of the basement steps that she can put everything she wants gone into, so I just have one place to look.  Plus, I&#039;ve replaced many &#039;lost&#039; items, only to find them in the utensil drawer.  

Any ideas?

P.S.  We have over 50 kitchen towels, only two hanging at a time.  My favorite one, the one that is buttoned to the fridge door, so you can&#039;t just take it off.  You can presumably wipe your hands on it, after washing them, across the kitchen.  

Oh, women.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll have to send hubby over to read your list. Number 4 is exactly what would end up on my list of annoyances and his rebuttal would be identical! As for the cake, I&#039;m with you on this one. My husband is always trying to give his always-hungry, eat-too-much (but otherwise quite lovely) friends our &quot;extra&quot; candy, cake, etc. Hello? It&#039;s not extra if we&#039;re going to eat it!

		<description>I thought it was sweet that my husband laughed at what he thinks of as my quaint wee obsessions.  Then he taught the kids to laugh at them. Now they all gang up on me to wind me up. For example, I foolishly confessed one day that I like the toilet roll to hang with the paper hanging down the outside. I always reckon it&#039;s easier to grab that way. Now they turn it around to face the wall, just to mess with me. My husband watched the film Sleeping With the Enemy and looked at me and laughed when he saw the guy arranging the towels to hang level with each other and turning food tins around till the labels all faced the same way. Maybe if he thinks I&#039;m &lt;i&gt;that &lt;/i&gt;crazy, he shouldn&#039;t sleep so soundly...

		<description>I&#039;m pretty sure I could have written your wife&#039;s list. It sounds exactly like my husband. Totally.  All of it. Including that last list there.

I could add to my husband&#039;s list for today: brings me only the inside of the crockpot when I asked him to bring the crockpot to a cook-out at work. Hello!? WHO DOES THAT? When I said bring the crockpot, I meant the WHOLE CROCKPOT! HOW Am I supposed to keep the food WARM????! OK. That&#039;s enough. I told him I was going to let it go. I MUST let it go. Really. I need therapy.</description>

		<description>Did you have to remind me of the hand towels!

There are towels hanging around here that *no-one* can use. If you so much as look as if you&#039;re going to use the hand towel to, oh I don&#039;t know, dry your hands,  you will be struck down.

And cushions! The amount of cushions I have to move before I can sit down. Or pillows - I&#039;ve learned to fall asleep while sitting up.

Then there&#039;s the dog poo. I have to clean that up because it&#039;s &quot;my dog&quot;. But when it comes to &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; two cats, I&#039;m expected to empty the litter box!

One final thing. We men never, ever exaggerate. That is ludicrously preposterous. Totally unheard of. It is in fact entirely the sole domain of the female of the species.

Scientific fact.

		<description>My oh my I liked this post...and I do love laughing - even the comments made me laugh.

My husband is perfect in nearly every way!  He is a perfectionist...but then everything must stay in the same spot in the kitchen it has always been (his mother&#039;s spot) even if it is not convenient for the cook.  The kids on the other hand feel free to just put any thing away where there is room for it!  
I make two cakes every time - one Gluten Free and one Dairy free...with no kids here and when they are-always wanting to look good - I make only GF cake and I do not eat them.

And why are all the vitamin bottles, spice bottles, cleaning supplies facing backwards in the cupboards...with the door shut who are we advertising to?   but since all the labels look the same I do not wish to take his RA medication for my Cal-mag supplement...Thank you but no thank you.

I mow the grass because everyone is allergic...and it keeps me trim.  All the flowers are outside, so he designs windows to bring them in as bouquets....

If the kids were tired and exhausting...he stayed at work an extra hour until I found bedtime and control ...but if they were throwing up they all knew to go to him, because mommy would share the toilet bowl and be no help at all...

My worst problem though is that they all blow their noses at the dinner table...then my food taste like.....I can not say it...I am sure you got the picture...

I am a creative person who lives and has always lived with perfectionists....I am laid back and let do....I am efficient to an annoying levels...
oh enough on this....I need to go work on the roses...fun visit today - thanks to everyone
