Frustrated with myself..

I am learning that

#1 I am OCD

#2 I am controlling and like things my way.

I had surgery on my spine a week ago today and I feel like I should be advancing a lot more than I should be. It's frustrating having to ask DH to help me with this and that. Not being able to walk around without feeling my blood pressure plummet. It's annoying. I'm controlling and want to be back to normal. 

Oh and I am trying to do the details for Linc's 2nd Bday Party and completely #1 & #2 on these things. My mom got dog bowls for the kids to eat out of  (it's a doggy party) and all I was thinking was "What colors did you get I wonder if they match the color scheme" I didn't say that but JEESH I am out of control.

On a positive note I have had an abundance of good friends bring us dinner so that takes an added stress off of me and DH. Rach's tacos are TO DIE FOR! Seriously soooooo yummy I ate 2!

DH had the hardest time with recovering from his back surgery.  He would take advantage of how heavy I sleep and do things that I should have been helping him with- they took 3-4x as long for him to do, but he was adamant that he not be helped so much.

And yeah, I would have to take a lot of deep breaths to let go of something I was trying to plan.  Bravo to you for letting your mom help.  Sometimes you have to let go- everything will be great.

Hopefully you're recovering well.  The first week was the hardest for DH's recovery as well.

Hope you get better soon. But yay for good food!

It's really hard to give up control and to ask for help. BUT, if you can ask for help and let others assist you, you will heal faster and be able to get back to normal sooner. 

Just remember, the kids are still young and they won't remember if the bowls matched or not, they'll just remember they got to eat out of a dog bowl and that was super cool!
