I admit I am a weirdo! It has taken a lifetime for me to be proud of the fact that I am weird but there you have it. Just what makes me weird. Well, the list is long but I I thought I would share a few things with y’all.
The house must be clean when I go to bed at night.
For me this makes my life easier. If the house is clean when I go to bed, I don’t have to worry about when someone surprises me by dropping by. It also means less to do in the morning.
I make the bed every single time I get out of it.
Even if someone else is in it. I have to straighten all of the sheets which leads to straightening the covers. It’s a whole process and is easier to make it up and then get back into it.
That made bed must have at least six pillows on it.
Four are to sleep on and then two are just pretty. They pull the bed together when it is made up. Those two are the only two taken off every night.
I brush my teeth every time I go into the bathroom.
This is part of my OCD and something I simply am compelled to do no matter what. I have learned to curb it some by just using mouthwash.
The house must be cleaned before anyone comes over.
I can’t have someone over and the house not be cleaned. I feel like I am being judged if they do. I mean what would they think? I know they will see the single piece of dirt on my floor or the string on the carpet that no one but me notices anyway.
The toilet paper roll must be changed just before you can see the empty roll with the paper hanging over.
I get so angry when someone changes my toilet paper roll and the way it hangs. I have one friend who I swear is trying to drive me nuts with this. She always changes it and tells me that she fixed my roll since I can’t seem to remember the proper way to hang it. I’m going to hang her by her hair one of these days. I wouldn’t dream of going into someone’s home and doing this but she feels she has the right.
That almost empty roll goes into the drawer so the rest of the paper can be used. I just like it all to look pretty.
I’m not crazy! I’m not wasting that little bit of paper. I just don’t want anyone to see that little bit hanging on there.
Dishes in the drying rack must be put away before going to bed.
This goes back to the house being clean. If the dishes are put away I don’t have to worry about it in the morning. It makes my day go smoother.
Those are just a few of the things that make me weird. I’m proud of them because they make me who I am. I can’t change them and while here was a time that I was embarrassed of them all I am not now. I am me and that’s okay.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Wow! Brushing your teeth every time you go to the bathroom is very time consuming. I can’t think of any quirks that I could have related to cleaning, but my husband has one. He has to wipe down the sink everytime he uses it. He doesn’t want to see a drop of water anywhere.
You are correct toilet paper Over is the correct way. I read that somewhere not too long ago and that is the way I do my toilet paper too. I also read that tp under is improper because women who wear nail polish will mark up your wall or wallpaper trying to get the tp if it is rolled under! My bathroom mirror has to be spotless and I wipe the sink area down each time I use it and I clean the bathroom a lot.
I agree about the toilet roll!
I tidy up before bed and I won’t sleep with dirty dishes in the sink. My husband is a slob. I had a boyfriend once that was OCD on neat & tidy and I ended up dumping him! He was ridiculous!
