Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Wow, didn't that ping on a few chords here! Thanks for sharing all! I try to remember (as best I can) to not sweat the small stuff... Sometimes it's difficult.

Awww that is sweet. I am a recovered OCDer. It is a daily battle but didn't want it affecting my kids. I have to remind myself of that everyday. It is pretty great to have people that get it! My kids are great about it and they lovingly tease me... I can laugh along with them. They sent me this video last week....

funniest part is the candy the wardrobe and the pictures- well the whole thing really...

Hahaha! That video hit all my pet peeves!!!

DH tells people I can walk into a room and tell that a picture frame is 1/16" low on the right side. I can't help myself. When I think no one is looking, I have to go straighten it!

I try to hide it, but sometimes it jumps out for the world to see.

I can totally identify with turning all the OSB so the writing goes the same way! I think my perfectionism drives DH a bit looney when we are working on building projects.. He says he is a "Spatial" & I am a"Specific". But in the end it helps to keep buildings from looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

My bride will act like she doesn't know me when I stoop to pull weeds at the Bank of America.

I have taken the pen and pad at the drs office and straightened them to each other before... Store shelves are a constant nightmare for me... My mom used to have to leave me at home when I was a toddler and young child because while in the check out line I would rearrange everything smallest to shortest.... I would freak out if we left before I was done I guess... I was so young I do not recall these events BUT it was definitely a foreshadow of what was to come

That's priceless Mike! I am not OCD and could care less about those minute details that drive OCD'ers nuts. I am abnormal in my own way.....
