Control Freak

I am a control freak! I need to always be in control of situations I am in. I don't like letting someone else drive me places (except for my husband). I don't like others planning events that I am involved in. I don't like being on the receiving end; I need to be involved in the planning. I need to be in control is just what it comes down to. I hate this part of me. I am planning something with a large group of people and it has been one of the most stressful things. Almost as bad as my wedding! Trying to make everyone happy including yourself can be very challenging. Communication, Money, Time....etc...

I just needed to vent! What can I do to stop being such a control freak??

What amazes me is how I am not like this in my relationship with family. My husband and I compromise a lot...maybe it is because we are both the oldest children and both want to always be in control! This can hinder our relationship at times but we get through it and are more strong because of it.

That's all I got...till next time!

The Littles

Having two babies 11 months apart is not for the weak. The first few years are exhausting catering to their constant needs. They are now 2 and 3 years old and so much fun! Some nights I just sit and watch and listen to them. They play so well most times and have the best imaginations. My older two are just over two years apart and it is crazy the difference in how they interacted when they were younger compared to these two. Being a mom is exhausting, overwhelming, fulfilling and fun! Being able to watch my kids all play together just makes my heart sing, especially when there are lots of giggles! ❤️

Hormones

 Why do women have such wild hormones and endocrine system needs!? My cycles have been getting progressively worse and it is no fun. I started reading WomanCode by Alisa Vitti, Founder and CEO of FLO Living. I am only on page like 60 and it is soo soo good. I wish I would have done more research on what I was eating and how I was treating my body prior to 2020 and I wish I would have read this book like 20 years ago but today is a new day and I will start to take care of myself in a different way moving forward. I am fortunate to have this knowledge to be able to educate my children.  Anyways - just an emotional hot mess over here and things probably wont get better for a while....here's to hoping I don't end up in jail or fired :) ~Trying to Live the American Dream

October 2019: Miscarriage November 2019: Let myself go - emotional wreck - internally hard on myself December 2019: Same as November January 2020: Decide to take a class my friend Tracy is teaching, on becoming a healthier person and more aware of the hidden "crap" in our food February 2020: Still taking the class and Tracy and I spontaneously talk about starting a podcast. March 2020: We make that spontaneous decision real with our launch of Dirt Road Health and Hustle ( A podcast on how to navigate life mindfully, not perfectly while having a shit ton of fun along the way!  We talk all things whole body health and well being along with sharing our story of how,  when all you have is a dirt road, you put your boots on and walk it confidently every day.) This is really where it all began. Tracy started her health journey three years ago and I have been living in a naive state thinking everything I eat is okay for me (knowing the general stuff like junk food and sugar are doin...
