Hey guys! So, believe it or not, there have been a few times where I've been called controlling! Imagine that! A homesteading, homeschooling Mama of 4 being controlling? But seriously, I've been trying to be very conscious of that tendency of mine and recently had a very appropriate reminder to not hold on so tight! Check it out. What do you think? Do you have ways to help yourself not hold on too tight?
I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!
Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!

Perfect I loved Jean-Luc. My brother was a HUGE Trekkie so I would often watch with him.
You are so right! Once you start letting go and realising that you can't control anyone but yourself, life actually becomes a lot easier.
I go through phases of being good with this, and then almost forgetting... It gets easier the more i do it. Kind of like clean eating... When you cut sugar out for some time, you don't crave it anymore and it's easy to avoid, but once you've had a binge, then you're thinking about sugar all the time again!
If we let go and not argue with anyone than life is so easy and joyful. So thing is letgo only

Yet out egos make this quite the challenge sometimes. At least if we are aware then that is the first step in the right direction. Thanks for stopping by.
I find that having some private time to myself helps. Just like I have a few quiet moments on Steemit daily.
It brings focus back to myself & I feel happier after that.
I, too, need quiet moments, but this staying up late is becoming a bad habit. I need to try to get to bed early and then get up early and have those quiet moments then. But then, one of the kiddos will probably wake up with me and those moments won't be so quiet! 😆😜😁
You know I think it’s in our DNA so to speak as God created us the helpmeet as a woman. So that is what we do naturally. And part of that is wanting to control all aspects so as to make all things run smoothly. I have to relearn “let it go” over and over again. Probably one of the most difficult things for me.
@thefarmerswife Yeah, I had to think a while for this post!
I don't know.
