OCD traveling habits

This is a classic example of my OCD on a trip.

Rule one:  Gotta unpack ASAP. No matter how many nights you are staying.  Hide the suitcases.

Rule two:  If there are cupboards and drawers….put everything away to look like you live there (or like a decorator lives there).

Rule three: Try not to forget anything when you pack up in a day or even a week. We left kindles in a drawer and wasted 60 min to retrieve them on last major trip….Robert gets mad that i unpack everyone and no one can find their stuff!

The attached picture shows everything displayed out on counter.  Cool, actually, since the kids can see what i brought and play/use them…..BUT, a voice inside me is SCREAMING…..PUT IT AWAY, PUT IT AWAY!  RIDICULOUS!!!  Relax, enjoy, have a cocktail!  oh wait, it’s only 9 am…gotta wait!
