I am definitely not OCD

Bloggers tend to have this reputation for being obsessed with organization and cleanliness. 

 

Cleaning schedules

Closet organization
Hand sanitizer

Highly organized blogs

Blog posts for days and months ahead of time

Planners

A love for doing dishes or cleaning toilets

Living minimalist lives

Living on a budget

 

Don't get me wrong, I have an Erin Condren Life Planner.  I once made a cleaning schedule, but I never once used it.  It does not bother me to have dishes in the sink.  I'm a teacher that rarely uses hand sanitizer (unless I just pumped gas).  I'm not scared of germs, in fact I don't give a second though about holding a kid's hand.  Maybe that is why I have a cold?  But it seems to me that people who obsess over germs are the ones who are sick the most!

I write my blog posts the same day that I post them (gasp!).  I have to run out of clothes before I do my laundry, and sometimes it sits in the washing machine for too long, so I have to re-wash it.  And I definitely do NOT live on a budget. 

 

Do I like to be organized? Yes.

 

Do I like to have clean clothes and a shiny kitchen? Yes.

 

Would I like to have all my blog posts written out ahead of time?  Yes.

 

But it's just not me.  And I don't lose sleep over it.

 

I forget things. 

 

I get tired.

 

Cleaning makes me a little grumpy. 

 

And I cannot think of one thing that I obsess over.
