Am I neurotic???????

Ok with 7 people in the house every day is laundry day. Monday I wash whites. Everyone has 20 pairs of socks and yes I count them every Monday. So today I could not find the 20th pair of DH's socks keeping in mind that he is wearing a pair. I looked under the bed, in his shoes, in the hampers and in living room all around. NO SOCKS anywhere. It was driving me crazy at this point. I was going to have to wash a singel pair of sock and just so you know I would or it would drive me crazy! But I had to find them. So I thought maybe just maybe I miss counted not likely but maybe. So I went back to his drawer and recounted the socks. So then I thought I would dig around the drawer and see if they were buried in the drawer. So I did and I found one. ARRR

So I keep digging and oh thank goodness there it is under his pajama pants oh WHEW!

Well that only took 30 min of my day! So am I or not?

I just had a dryer breakdown. I was neurotic. I had to carry wet clothes to my moms (AND his mom). The repair guy took a week to get the part. Never again, I'll replace the darn thing

Maybe just a tad bit

If all my socks were clean at the same time I'd probably have about 100 pairs.

Uh, yeah, that is a bit much. Seems a bit over the edge into OCD territory to me...

I don't have the faintest clue how many socks we have here. All stray socks go in a bag. Eventually the matches for most of them do turn up. Occasionally (rarely) one goes permanently astray. I have 5-6 socks that have been in the stray sock bag for years now. I keep hoping the match will turn up folded inside a blanket somewhere. I "will not" throw them away.

OH NO OCD!

I do like the number 20

20 cups
20 plates


I don't think I will keep going. I'll call my therapist right now

No sock bag here. Every six months old socks go to st. vincent and we get new. I am kinda weird I guess. I have to have the clothes very orginized closets oginized and seperated by long sleeve, short sleeve, pants, jeans, and by color. Every ones closets.

I am still scratching my head wondering why you are looking for hubbys clothes... hes a big boy if he cant make sure all his socks are in the laundry I guess that 20th pair will get washed next week

After a while I will just throw out that single sock or use it for cleaning. I used to save the socks forever trying to match missing pairs.

Yep, sounds OCD to me too. Wouldn't it make you feel better to come over to my house and straighten out my closets???
