Nesting and Officially 9 Months Pregnant

Those towels aren't aligned! Drop and give me 20!

Poor Jason has had to endure the Cleaning Nazi all week. I'm proud to admit that even light bulbs have been dusted at my house. My bags are packed. Faith's bag is packed, along with laminated schedule so the babysitter knows what to do.
It's official: I am"nesting." And things that normally do not bother me are starting to really get under my skin. Things such as:
1. Why can't people/visitors/guests, when using the restroom, leave the towels in the same condition as when they found them? "Same condition" refers to towels hanging neatly, edges folded under, "dress-right-dress". And yes, I do notice when they are a centimeter off. Mental, I know. Would making them do push-ups help them remember?
2. I've had a few friends use my shower after a day at the pool (I live the closest.) So... is it asking too much for them to remember to clean the hair out of the drain when they are done? It's just so gross! (Okay, this one bothers me even when not pregnant.)
3. I sat up for 2 hours watching Jason snore, wondering if smothering him with a pillow would be considered a homicide or self-defense.
4. Is using alcohol-based hand sanitizer instead of lotion on a germy 2 year old considered child abuse? I'm just wondering...
5. Can I shave my dog, or would PETA come to arrest me? Can't stand the dog hair!
6. My bed is made so tight you could bounce a dime off of it. Hospital corners- heck yeah!
7. Why doesn't Pledge Lemon Wax come in a bigger can? Used one up in 24 hours and I still have more dusting to do.
8. Do I need a priest, or a psychiatrist?

Quit nesting, you're driving even me crazy!

Ha ha! You are so funny with your nesting!

Does Jason fight it, or just roll his eyes and move on? :)

Uh Oh -- I am religious about haning towels (can't stand when people leave them on the counter) but I guess I better pay attention to how they were hanging originally!
Don't worry, we all have our quirks... yours just seem to be in overdrive.
Aren't you supposed to be taking it easy in this last month??
You funny girl.
