I've recently noticed that I need to do certain things in a certain order before I head to bed. My dog alerted me to this when I didn't let her out at her usual time for the night.
After I have taken the dog out for the last time for the night, I go around making sure all our doors are locked (once it gets warmer, it will also include checking that the windows are locked). That may not seem like much, but I need to touch each door and then visually check each door. I make sure that all the shoes are put away on the shoe rack and all toys are in their proper place. I lock each car, mine first, then Jason's. I turn on the porch light before I go to the bathroom. After I brush my teeth and turn on the night light, I head into the kids room to kiss them good night again. I kiss Jojo's forehead 3 times and then smooth her hair. I then kiss Jakey's forehead 3 times and touch his cheek. Then it's time to head upstairs.
I pick out my clothes and set them in the same spot on the railing each night. Then I set my alarm, turn it off, and then reset it.
If I don't do each of these things, I find myself not able to relax in bed and settle in for the night. I don't know why I don't do any of these OCD things during the day?!
Do any of you out in blogger land need to do things in a certain way before you head to bed?
