So I have just a little bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I'm okay with that. There were many years that the kids never got to decorate the tree because I just couldn't stand it if the ornaments weren't spaced right, if they put an ornament where I thought it didn't look good ... ya know all the normal OCD stuff. I also wouldn't put up any homemade ornaments or anything that didn't match. It all had to be the same ball or the same snowflake or same ribbon.
The year we moved into this house I finally stopped being an idiot and let my kids decorate the tree ... like a normal person. It's not easy. It actually irritates the hell out of me but whatever ... it's freakin Christmas.
I think Layla got my freakishness and is now worried about the spacing of the ornaments. Poor girl. I really have to nip that in the bud or my grandchildren will hate me for passing on my irrational behavior to their mother.
Here she is hanging up the star.
P.S. Nick geeked out (I say geeked out because the man got far too excited about them) this year and bought LED lights and they are hideous. They're blue for crap's sake. Blue ... for the love.

My OCD is kicking in because I can't get the text to not break up in the middle of a freakin sentence.
I'm letting it go ......
Ummmmm yeah sorry Nick...they look blue. You lose.
Come on now, You make it sound like they are as blue as a summer sky. They just have that pure white light that makes it tinted ever so slightly blue when you look at them the wrong way. For real.
Ever so slightly?? My ass! They're blue honey ... BLUE! But if it makes you happy .....
