Just a little touch of OCD

Ok, so I might have a little touch of OCD. This weekend my wonderful husband was nice enough to put up some christmas lights on the house that I had bought. We didn't put up any christmas decorations last year b/c I was still a little depressed over Brady's diagnosis and just didn't feel in the christmas spirit, so I really wanted to make this christmas special for our family, hence the lights. The lights I bought were just your standard mini-lights, but when Aaron put them up they were not straight and it secretly bothered me. It wasn't how he put them up, he did a perfect job, it was just the nature of those lights. So I quickly came to the realization that we needed the big christmas lights, the C9's. I waited until the next day to tell Aaron that I wanted him to tear down the lights and put up these C9 lights that I wanted to buy. Needless to say, he thought I was more than a little crazy but the good husband that he is, he said he'd do it. So I helped him take down the little non-straight lights and he put up the wonderful, big, straight lights. I even customized the color of our lights by buying two strands of red and two strands of green and swapped out every other red light and switched it with a green light. Ok, that may not be customization as much as a little more OCD. But you get the picture.

And on a side note: Brady was pretending to be a puppy dog today, so I got a leash and put it around his waist for a tail. He thought this was great and proceeded to run around the house and bark like a dog. A few minutes later, Aaron came home for lunch and we we're chatting about how ridiculous it was that we had to spend $130 bucks for the Honda dealership to tell us that the reason our check engine light was on was b/c we needed a new gas cap that we could have replaced ourselves for like $15 bucks, as this was occuring, I look over to see that Brady is licking himself. Before I could ask him why he was licking himself, I see that Moose is also licking himself and I quickly come to the realization that Brady is imitating our dog. I'm just really glad that Moose was only licking his leg and nothing else.....
