Kristi the Control Freak

I have a control issue. I'm aware of it, well aware of it... I have this need to plan, to be on top of things, to be in control of the situation. And when I'm not, well, I'm not the most pleasant person.

I've been working on the issue on and off. Realizing that I can't possibly control every little thing and sometimes I just need to let go. At the end of the day, there's actually very little I really do have control over with the exception of my own self and my own actions.

That all being said, that's why there was no blog yesterday :-p My control (or actually lack thereof) was frustrating me so much it wasn't worth getting any further bent out of shap by rehashing it here, too.

I had an OB appointment yesterday and found out that my blood pressure is still seriously out of whack. Cue my frustration at my lack of ability to DO something about the situation. I just want someone to fix this! I want an answer! I want control over the situation! Arrrgggg!!!!!

But today I'm realizing this one is completely out of my hands. This situation is fixable - it's just going to take until January for it to be fixed! Just one day at a time, right? So I've just got to put one foot in front of the other, take it one day at a time, and realize this too will pass. Just keep reminding me of that, OK :-p

Noah today has been a huge handful. He's back to the shrieking for attention. Does anyone have any suggestions? We had two hours straight of pinching, hitting, screaming and shrieking today. Fortunately Grant came home and took him for a ride in the car right now. But tomorrow will be better, right?

Alright, I'm supposed to be sitting with my feet up and not stressing. So much easier said that done... I'll have more (and be in a better mood) tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the pictures!
