We, meaning Richard, Cameron, Aydan, Elijah, and I, have made it back to Kuwait after a long vacation back home in Georgia. It was nice because I was able to see my Grandmother for Hanukkah (the only Jewish holiday that I ever celebrate, lol) and stay for Christmas and the New Year. Being around family makes me so happy! I learned a lot about myself while gone like....I put on a couple of lbs. while in Kuwait, my controlling behavior never goes away, and I am always running myself into the ground. OK, I will admit that I already knew all of these but, it sucks when someone points these things out.
First, I knew that I gained weight being in Kuwait. I hurt my back when I first arrived in Kuwait from the move here and ended up going to physical therapy for about a month straight. Back pain can be so debilitating! I am normally addicted to working out but for about a year now I have been seriously slacking and believe me "I want that old thang back!!" So, from this point on I will be changing my routine to ensure that I will able to fit exercise back into my sched.
Next, I am fully aware that I have control issues! Why on earth do you think I would make such a drastic decision to bring my little bro, Cameron, to a foreign country with me?! I have to know what I would do with him is being done. If I am not in Georgia how can I do that. So, the solution is to have him with me. I don't think my mother is a bad mother, just that the current situation is to much for her to handle. In Richards eyes I need to mind my own business more but, thats not how I roll! I know my family values my opinion, just as I value theirs. Not to mention that I want to control what he does too such as dressing him and feeding him, lol!
Last, I am constantly running my-self in to the ground!! As my friend Michelle says "Should everyone just fight over me?" Well that would probably work better for me. That way I wouldn't have to make the final decision on what I do. Richard tells me I am always doing to much and he is right. For example, when we got in to Washington airport from Georgia we ended up staying the night because the flight was too late to make the connection to Kuwait. If it was up to me we would have explored Washington D.C. all of the next day (our flight wasn't until 9:50 the next night) seeing all of the amazing historical sights. But, because Richard reminded me of how I do to much, we stayed at the hotel, went swimming, and relaxed until it was time to head to the airport. You know what, it was better that way! We were not stressed or rushing. I am not going to say I have learned my lesson, because I think that is what makes me the fun person I am, but It is nice to just let things happen as they will and not make a million plans fit into one day.
Well that's all for now peeps!
