Breaking the curse!

The curse know as Obsessive Compulsion Disorder (OCD). For those of you that don't know OCD is a anxiety disorder in which certain rituals are a way of life intrusive fears/thoughts if things are not done in the right way.

Last week I showed up to drop my son off at school at the normal time. As the teachers were leaving for there lunch I sat waiting.. 45 minutes later I was able to walk Parker into his class. 45 yes I said FORTY FIVE minutes!! I have always struggled with time lying about the start time of certain events to allow me that half an hour to be early. Late just isn't an option. Sitting in my car watching the teachers leave so casually really brought it home to me just how serious things had become. Time to change!

I am on day 2 of change..

Lets start with yesterday. I arrived at school dropping big lumpy off at 8:45, Usually 8:30.. I then dropped little lumpy at 12:20, Usually 12:00.. I arrived at 3:10 and parked in a different space. It proved too much and the anxiety was through the roof being late and in the wrong space? it wasn't good and put in a really rotten mood the rest of the day.

Today, dropped off this morning at 8:30. (baby steps) Kindergarten drop off at 12:10 and although I parked in the same space I arrived late(er) my anxiety is still high but I lived!

I have a goal of ten minutes early in a different parking space daily by the end of the school year..

I can and will break this curse!
