Psychology! Anybody know what you call this?

I've been analyzing some mental disorders recently, just for fun, and the topic eventually brought me around to my own writing.
I have a habit of writing the letters of a word in the wrong order, but spelling the word correctly. 
Like this:
t esd         ( missed the U )
tuesd y     ( added the U after writing the D, missed the A )
tuesday    ( added the A after writing the Y )

When writing fast, my mind seems to skip letters, but leaves spaces where they should be and they get filled in shortly after. I am often times not even aware of this.

I was curious if there was a name for this... What ever you call it.
Perhaps I just write too bloody fast and my brain skips a letter, and realizes it afterwards.

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put your sister and I side by side.

Heav’n hath no rage like love to hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn’d.

I've come to a conclusion, after contacting a psychologist of sorts.
I am insane!
