I am sure that everyone has little quirks or ways that they like things to be. For instance most people have a routine in the morning when getting ready for the day.( I like my money to be in order and facing the right way in my wallet.) But what happends if you can't do that routine? Most people would not care but there are those who it would send in to panic or anxiety attacks.
Mark jokes that I have obsessive tendencies but I really think its getting worse. I hate big crowds! It makes me nervous, my heart beats fast and I get shaky. I hate when people bump inot me because I don't know them and they have germs. I don't touch the ketchup bottles at restaurants, I try very hard not to touch door knobs, I don't touch the sacrement trays and I tend to wash my hands a lot. Last week at church it was just Shelby and I. And it was the first time I touched a sacrement tray in months. Usually Mark is on one side so he will hand it to Shelby. Weird I know. Well I carry hand sanitizer and wipes in my purse (I'm not even a mom who needs all that) but the hand sanitizer was just not working. So I got up and left the meeting to go wash my hands and not just once. The kids I teach in Primary know that I always have wipes so they can wash their hands. When my hands feel dirty it make me nervous and I have to wash. Yes people laugh at me and Mark gets frusturated.
If I can't do things a certain way it makes me anxious. I would wear gloves if it didn't make me look weird.
I wonder if family stress is making it worse?

Yep you're a little weird! But we still love you!!!! ;) I think we all have some sort of unusual tendencies!
I dare you to wear gloves! That would be AWESOME!!
I hope family stress is not making it worse, but I do love your wet wipes.
