My OCD Habits

Hi Peachies! Are y'all ready to hear some of my deepest secrets. The things I obsess over. Things that drive me crazy and sometimes even make me turn my car around and go home to check on that "thing"?

Are you ready to hear all about
My OCD Habits

I'm more than a little OCD about some things. There are things that flat out drive me insane if they aren't done and then there are some things that I'm ODC about simply because I've been forgetful about them too often in the past.

Let Me Explain

+ My counters have to be wiped down. I wipe them down several times a day with Clorox Wipes and just a wet wash rag.
I can't stand to have dirty/sticky counter tops.

+ My curling iron/flat iron being unplugged. This is one I've forgotten about a few too many times.
I've even turned the car around to check.
Now I'll check it two or three times before I leave just to be sure.

+ My clothes have to be organized in my closet by type and in a particular order. From back to front it's jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, 3/4 sleeved shirts, tee shirts, tanks, dresses, capris, jeans. And each of those has to be organized by favorites. Favorites are closest to the front.

+ My shoes have to be matched up and lined up in my closet, too.

+ I like balance when it comes to decorating. If I have something on the right side of the shelf, there has to be something similar on the left side, too.

+ When I'm locking up my house I have to check, at least twice, to make sure I really did lock the door. Sometimes I have to run back in and make sure I locked the back door, too.

+ Sometimes I count my steps in my head (Yes, I even have a fit bit).

+ If I can't sleep I add all the numbers of the time together & keep adding them until I come to a single digit.
(You really get to sleep fast this way). Sometimes I even add all the numbers on someone's mail box until I find that one digit.

+ At each store I visit often, I have a certain pattern I walk and shop.


I don't think my OCD habits are too out there, except maybe the one about all my clothes in my closet. That one might be borderline insanity but I love organization to the extreme and that's the only space I truly can control. No one else adds chaos and clutter to my closet so it's my little piece of organized Heaven.

What are some of your OCD Habits? Do we share any of the same ones?

Week 21: Bad Habits of Mine

Hi my beautiful Peachies! How is everyone today? I'm incredibly awesome because today is the official first day of summer break for us. I slept in TWO whole hours this morning. My son is still sleeping in and Willow pup is asleep in her Daddy's chair on the other side of the living room.
Plus, when I got out of bed this morning I realized that my house isn't nearly as big of a mess as it usually is on Monday mornings.
It's a Monday Miracle!

Welcome to {Week 21:Bad Habits of Mine}

1. Rolling my eyes and heavy sighing.
Ya'll, I think I was just born this way. I find that I roll my eyes and sigh a ton. I can't help it and I can't control it. It just happens. Even when someone is asking me something that I don't mind, I do it. Luckily everyone close to me has learned to accept it. Love y'all. Mean it.

2. Cracking my knuckles.
Again, can't help it. It's a habit I started forever ago and continue doing. I know it isn't good for me but we all have our vices.
Cracking knuckles is mine.

3. Cleaning.
Yes, this can be a bad habit when you do as I do. I'm notorious for cleaning up people's glasses they are drinking out of. If it's left unattended and I see it, odds are, i'll clean it up. I've also been known to misplace my husband's things before while cleaning the house and forgetting where I put them. Ooops.

4. Painting over existing nail polish.
Because sometimes I don't want to take the polish off and start over but I don't want chips in my nails either.

5. Falling asleep during movies.
I'm not kidding when I say my hubby and I have probably watched 6 movies together in our four years of being together.
I sit down to watch a movie and that's all she wrote. Even if it's a movie that I really want to see.

6. Wanting everything in my house in its place and spotless.
This is something i've really been working on this year and I feel like i'm making huge progress. On the weekends I do no cleaning, other than the kitchen and maybe a load of clothes. I will not ever be okay with food and dirty dishes left out but i'm taking more time to enjoy being with my loved ones and having adventures than focusing on cleaning house. I realize my house will never look like something out of Southern Living Magazine and i'm okay with that. If you come to my house you may have to over look the dust and the dog nose prints on everything but I promise, you'll laugh and make memories here and more likely than not, eat a ton of good food.

7. Not asking for help.
The Good Lord knows this is my downfall and he sent me my husband to help break me of this.
A typical evening at our house goes like this.
Me in the kitchen cooking, my hubby just coming in from a long day at work.
Honey: Hey Love, Do you need any help?
Me: rolling my eyes. No, babe. I've got it.
Honey comes in the kitchen, looks and me and says "what can I help you with?"
Sometimes he even takes what i'm doing away from me because he knows I need help, I just won't ask.

And with that comes #8.

8. I'm stubborn to a fault.

So there you have it. Some of my bad habits. I'm not a nail biter, i'm not addicted to anything. Not a shopaholic.
Just a modern day June Cleaver want to be with Lucille Ball antics thrown in and I cuss a little, too.
