I have Early Disease - have you heard of it?

I am one of those VERY ORGANISED people. My house is tidy, my diary is up to date filled with all those important play dates, birthdays etc. I run a tight ship. I get up at 7am and can have a cake in the oven to bake by 7.15am. Apparently that is not an easy task if you have kids.

I am very efficient. Always have been. Multitasking is one of my talents. I can get about 500 tasks done in one day. Effortlessly. With about 5 tasks happening simultaneously. *I hope one day husband can learn something from me. But it looks like he never will. This is a subject that requires it's own post*.

I have always been like this and it's irritating. It's a part of who I am I suppose that I will always be the inherent organiser in all my social circles, in my family. It's my calling in life... to organise because I am quite simply good at it. It is also my life's curse. (Living with Coeliac Disease is also known as "My Life's Curse".. you can be cursed twice if you didn't already know this.)

I also have "Early Disease" which is a symptom of being cursed with exceptional organisational abilities. It is quite a rare affliction in today's society. I am always EARLY. I watch the clock and if we need to be somewhere soon, I gather everything I need, get it in the car and head out. But we always get there EARLY. I just can't help myself. Sometimes I stop myself "Don't leave yet Taryn, you will be early" but even when I do that.. I might get there ON TIME. I am never late. If I am late to anything then start worrying because SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG.

When I had kids, I was informed that this would cure my "Early Disease". But it didn't, it made me worse. Now I was so on top of my game it was getting ridiculous that a mum of two could get her shit organised so well and STILL BE EARLY.

In my observations "Early Disease" seems to be a hereditary condition. All my family have it. Some of my cousins have it from the Greek side of my family. It seems to run through our blood. I truly feel sorry for my kids who will more than certainly inherit this condition from their mother.
