I'm just a little OCD



Ok for those of you who don't know me very well I'm obsesive compulsive. I like things in order, and if they're not in order it drives me nuts. I don't know when this started for sure, but I think it goes back to when me and my sister shared a room. We shared a room for a long long time. I remember in high school her side of the room was a total disaster, it looked as if a tornado had hit it. My side of the room was always clean and organized. I used to hate cleaning when I was younger, it was such a drag. Now I totally love it! I turn the music up loud and sing my heart out as I clean, it is so cleansing to have a clean home. When we moved back to utah into my mom's house along with my sister and her family. My Brother in law Justin thought it was awesome that I knew where everything was. He even asked me if I would come and organize his stuff for him, so that when he needed it he could call me. I thought it was pretty funny. Matt likes to drive me crazy and leave the cubard doors open. he thinks it's funny, but he likes to try to scare me. When I see the cubard doors open it makes me think of the sixth sense and it scares me. I hate the toilet seat left up, and thankfully he is really good about putting it down. He needs to work on the toilet paper though. He just leaves it on top of the toilet paper holder. I like it to be on their facing a certain way. I guess you have to choose your battles. Sometimes I have a hard time stopping what I'm doing, which can be bad for my family. I'm really working on that one. Another one of my OCD quirks is that I check on my kids a little while after we put them down for bed, make sure they're covered and not falling off the bed. I'll check on them after matt and I have our prayers. I'll check on them before I go to bed. I just get paranoid that something is wrong with them. I also love to see the positions they end up in. Kids are so sweet, but so mischeivious! I love to watch my children sleep, they always look so peaceful. It melts my heart =)

So my question to you is are you OCD???

I may be a little OCD but not really. I am a pretty relaxed person...
