OCD?

These are Tyler's house slippers. We got them for $1.00 at Savers. This is where they live ~ right next to his bed. In this exact position:

Sometimes we like to tease him a lil bit. If we switch them, he has to fix them. If we put one in front of the other, rather than side by side, he has to fix them. If we put one across the room, away from its mate, he has to fix them. They must remain in this same position every night or he seems to be unable to sleep.

He doesn't wash his hands an unusual amount of times... His buttons on his shirt can be on either side... He doesn't mind zippers or have to wear a certain kind of skivvies. He doesn't like his food to touch, but it's Ok if it does. He doesn't line up his cars in a row like he used to, either.

But this just makes me wonder if he might be a touch OCD! What say you, blog friends?

In other news... it's snowing outside. It's really beautiful but the roads are very slick so we have decided to have a snow day (without our TV!!) and stay safe and warm inside our home. I did sneak out for a work out this morning, but that will hopefully be the extent of our driving today.

We're planning on watching Ria's girls this evening though, so they can go celebrate her hubby's birthday, which will be great entertainment for the boys and break up some of the monotony!

I thought I'd show you guys the ENORMOUS amount of Allstate stuff I have acquired in my two weeks away from my office ~ one week in Chicago and another week in training at the Regional Offices. All those binders are filled with information and so are the folders. And look at all the business cards! I will never have time to read all the books either, but I'm sure there is lots of good information here!

Well I'm off to help Shawn write our annual Holiday Letter. We have decided that since my Grammy is the only person we know who does not have a computer and internet access, we will be e~mailing it to our friends and family this year to help be a little greener. And yes, it does also help save a little money too which is good because Santa Mom & Santa Dad will be doing some holiday shopping online today, since we have a few minutes that aren't accounted for yet.

Have a lovely Saturday!

The slippers are hilarious. I wish my children had a touch of that...in anything. Really, it would give me hope for the future :)

Enjoy your snow day!

could be that he has a touch of it, but no matter. as long as it's not bothering him, i wouldn't do a thing about it!

Holy information hot mama!

I giggled at the slipper shot, and if he does have a touch of OCD - oh well, it could be worse, right? Too funny!

Can my children PLEASE have some OCD!!

I remember all that Allstate info that is thrown at you and then you never get the chance to look at it again.

Sorry about the tv during the storm. I would lose my mind!

So cute about his slippers. My Girl is like that about some things. I think a little OCD in kids is good! LOL!

This made me snicker: "since we have a few minutes that aren't accounted for yet" So true this time of year! =)

OCD is the one documented mental illness that Law Schools love to see in their applicants. Maybe he has a litigious future.

As an attorney myself, I gotta say that a little touch of OCD never hurt anybody.

I really like that picture of you surrounded by all the books and such.!

Not OCD. I'm the same way with my flip-flops. :)
