Have free agency, will travel

Any of you other mothers with young children going through this fun stage right now? You know your kids are exercising their independence and all that jazz. I'm not a big fan of my kids having minds of their own, how 50's of me I know. I just don't like fighting over things that quite frankly five and two year olds shouldn't even care about yet. Dan doesn't like the way I comb her bangs anymore and Nan, well she doesn't like the way I do ANYTHING anymore. When did I lose the power? I want it back. Do I ever get it back? I know, I know it only gets worse from here on out, I don't want comments from all of you seasoned mothers telling me "these are the easy years". Aargghh!!

Today I surrender the power of wardrobe over to my all wise, all knowing five year old. After all, what do I know after 34 years on this earth. Surely I don't know anything about color coordinating and all that, right? Hey, just because her outfit literally hurt my eyes and made me feel even dizzier doesn't mean it's not a good thing. I'm all about picking my battles and today I just wasn't up for the fight!

Heather you kill me!! I love it- I love to see I'm not alone in my craziness!! I think that is all we can do right now is pick our battles. I've given up on dressing my kids. Oh well, huh. Anyways, I was so excited to hear from you!! Your girls have GROWN!! What dolls- it is so fun to reconnect with all of you awesome girls in good old Riverdale! I love it down there!
