Sunday Snapshot — Pick Your Battles

Sometimes when I tell Clara we need to run some errands to the post office, grocery store, bank, and playground, she asks to be dressed like a ladybug princess. This is when I try to envision what life will be like when she is a teenager.

Because it puts silly little things like this into perspective.

In my mind, we will have our share of arguments as she navigates the crazy world of boyfriends, alcohol, drugs, etc. Please note that if I think about this too much my head will explode! I know I will be longing for the easy days when all she wanted was to go out dressed like a ladybug princess!

So.

If she wants to run errands dressed like a ladybug princess in public???

I’ll be picking my battles.
