I've been compuslivley doing chores, almost every day, for the past six Months. It was four Months ago that I've found out that I get really nervous and my body starts to shake, if I go three days without doing any big chores around the house. I was comming up with all kinds of excuses for my compulsive need to do some sort of chore, at least evert two days.
Here's a pathetic list of excuses:
You work so hard at McDonald's, Mom.
It helps me to burn the extra Weight Watchers Points that I eat out of Emotional Stress.
If I have a Brain and a Body that work, I might as well use them.
Busy Hands are Happy Hands!
I do it to show you that I'm not Mentally Challenged.
I love doing Chores!
It will help keep me from obsessing over my Favourite Bus(es).
The truth came out, when I was on my Laptop and watching 'Reba' with my Mom. I was making up a slogan that I might want to put on a T-Shirt, that read, "I Happily make up for my Childhood, by Joyfully doing Chores!" My Mom asked me what part of my Childhood that I'm making up for. I've told her that I was making up for being afraid to go Poo, when I was little and the Obsession that I've had with the U.S. And she asked me, "And Bunny Rabbits, the colour Green and Ladybugs?" I've confessed to her that's what it was. She said, "That's Kid Stuff!" The thing is that it was Autistic Kid Stuff, not Typical Kid Stuff and that's why I'm constantly doing chores.
