OCD-or whatever you want to call this blog?!?

Kiss my days and weekends goodbye until November. Football starts on Monday! This is my favorite time of year. I’m such an organization geek. I love to organize the teams, paperwork, concessions, coaches….just be involved. I may complain about it sometimes but when someone tries to help me out or when people make me delegate tasks it drives me crazy! I think I’m a bit OCD about controlling stuff like this.

Ok…who am I kidding I’m OCD about controlling everything. Dan tells me all the time “Just let it go, it’s not your problem”…(like some of the paperwork was not being done on time) and I was freaking out about it or heaven forbid I can’t have control over something that is beyond my control…like weather, other people being late, sickness, etc and because I have to be in control of everything, I’m usually early for everything so I can be the first to touch it, feel it, do it,….he also tells me I have to leave 10 minutes early to be 20 minutes early for an event.

This is a good thing and a bad thing…good because I am very organized, have control, get things done early…bad because I tend to have a “heart attack” about things that are not going smoothly.

Ok..that’s my ramble for the day.

(I just read this back and wow, am I jabbering or what?)

I can totally relate. If you are organized life just goes so much smoother!

I am always early too! I can't help it, I go to school and if class starts at 4 I am there at 3:45 or earlier...I have to fight myself to be "on time" instead of early. LOL

I have OCD and I can relate to this need to keep everything organized. I know you are not OCD in the formal definition but I thought I would share a website I came across http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-ocd that has information about dealing with OCD. I hope this is helpful for people coping with OCD.
