Well for me it's hard i have OCD (really) I am a door checker i have to check my door several times before i go to bed to make sure it's locked and if i can't remember i have to get out of bed and check it again. I'm also obsessed with bad food i won't eat chips after the first day opened i won't eat anything in the fridge that has been there for a while ( cheese) I'm compulsive about expiration dates i have to get the furthest expiration date possible and consume the food fast also i won't drink or eat off of anything someone else has even my own kids if someone takes a sip out of my drink i tell them to take it or i throw it away. OMG i sound so horrible!! There are a ton of other things i'm obsessed with but thats enough for now LOL don't want you all to know how weird i am just yet

My husband is the door checker in this family. My son and I will watch him check the door on the garage, then he'll look in the garage window, check the door again and then look in the window. He'll do this about 5 times at least before he'll come on into the house.

We must have been separated at birth. I don't like eating or drinking after anyone either. I go so far as I will wash my son and husbands underwear together, but I wash mine separate. I don't want any of their poop stains washing off onto my underwear. Weird aren't I???

So do I. It makes my mother wonder where I came from. She said no one else in the family has all these qirks that I have. I told her it probably came from when we were little, she'd make my little brother take a bath and told him to leave the bath water for me. GROSS!!! My brother was a little snot sometimes and would tell me he peed in it. Mom would say "he's just teasing, get in there." So I would pretend I took a bath and washed in the sink. I just don't trust anyone's cleanliness as I do my own...isn't that awful?

As far as cleaning obsessions----I have to load the dishwasher a certain way, if my dh does it, I usually open it up & look & switch stuff around! lol! I have no idea why!

My other obsession or addiction is collecting I Love Lucy/Lucille Ball memorabillia! I can spend hours on ebay looking for stuff & then if I can actually buy something I can spend hours looking for the perfect thing to buy! lol!

I am so picky about the dishwasher too. I rearrange it all the time, because neither of the boys do it right. I just want them to make sure they put the stuff in their, I don't mind rearranging it before I start it.

I don't collect much of anything, really. I do have Lucy's biography that they found she had started after she passed. I think her daughter Lucie and someone else finished it.

I have a bad cleaning obbsession. My doctor put me on prozac because it got so bad I wouldn't let the kids get any toys out I couldn't sit for a few minutes without making a list of what base boards and windows I had left to clean. On the weekends I didn't want to go anywhere, I felt I needed to be home cleaning. We had a cleaning lady coming in 2 aweek(my husband thought it would help) but it drove me nuts. She didn't clean the way I do so as soon as she would leave I would go crazy redoing everything she did.

The prozac has helped as far as allowing the kids to play and leaving on the weekends. However I still spend atleast 5 hours a day cleaning.
