7 Quirks

I was tagged by my sister in law in Texas and like her, I am not very quirky. Maybe I should work on that, perhaps I would be a more interesting person. As I thought of what quirks I have, most of them have to do with strange behavior with my kids... anyway this was what I came up with.

1) I grit my teeth and shout out as a form of affection. (No, I do not have turrets)
2) I am obsessed with and literally feast on my babies breath. One must eat more than baby breath so I do also eat food occasionally.
3) I have issue with germs and wash my hands way more than necessary.
4) I have issues with eating meat off the bone.
5) I have a plethora of nick names for my kids and some dear friends and family.
6) I am high sensory ...smell, taste and sounds. I don't like noise and I literally shut down when I am over stimulated.
7) I have a psychological issue, not sure what it is but it is very difficult for me to get rid of clothes, especially my kids clothes.
BONUS 8) When I am stressed, I chew the skin off the inside of my cheek, YUCK I know.
