The Control Freak Out of Control
We have been doing a switch-a-roo of computers between the office and home this week. I had to figure out how to get the wireless router to work. Thankfully we have an old tower to plug it into! It’s nice, now the laptop is primarily mine and I can sit on the couch again while on the computer. The desktop is now at the office which has greatly improved my productivity at the office. I bring in the laptop so we don’t have to share a computer anymore. I was reminded of how nice and lazy I can be without ambition. I got to take a nap each day and still feel like I was getting stuff non computer related done. Sometimes I think it would be nice to not have any personal goals and dreams. I wouldn’t have to work so hard and my brain wouldn’t be swarming with things on my to do list. On the flip side, I think I would be pretty bored and probably depressed with the daily grind.
Last night I broke down and had a good cry. I have moments where I get so overwhelmed, all I can do is ball. I let it out and move on to what needs to be done. I’m a pretty big dreamer and ambitious. I am also married to a big, ambitious dreamer. Sometimes that is awesome, and sometimes, not so much. On top of his insurance career, he is beginning 2 other side businesses. That along with me working for him, my doula goals, writing dreams, and blogging ambitions has got my brain on overload. Did I mention, I am at the beginning of a high risk pregnancy? I have no idea how I am going to get through this pregnancy with how busy Kevin is going to be. That’s pretty much why I lost it last night. I remember how I was after I started treatment when I was pregnant with Vahn. The day of the treatment and the next day, I was pretty much worthless. It took a lot out of me.
I am reminded again how I can only take life one day at a time. All God give us is this moment and we are to be good stewards with the time. Which means, along with my own goals, I must live in the moment with my children. God has it all under control. The more I try to control it, the more out of control I feel. I get it God! Really, I do! When I go crazy, will you remind me of this post? I want to love the life I live (most days I do), and live in the moment (that will always be a work in progress).

Deep breath…breathe in, breathe out. Everything will work out as it should.
You can only do what you can do and the rest will just have to wait. Take care of yourself and your family first!
Chin up!
