are very important and that she knows that what God says about her is the most important thing…
I loved the entire list…Don’t you love that God shows us that he loves us in the small things in our lives…not just the life-changing things…he did that for me this week….

However, I will say she does now clean up pretty well, and that is most of the time. I’m emailing you some pictures, Dusty, so you can see that clothes war battle will eventually win out-on the good side!!!

MC’s socks were the biggest deal. The toe & heel had to fit PERFECTLY (or the rage was unreal), yet she certainly didn’t give a rip about what else she had on. Your Anna’s school pic with the camo on would have been mixed with flowers, anything purple and pink and God knows what else – maybe an umbrella. When I met Mary Claire last year at Univ. of West Ga. to take her to lunch – at almost 20 years old mind you – she had on a sweatshirt, sweatpants pushed up to her knees, rubber boots (no, it was not flooding) and no signs of a shower or brushed hair. She was still my “Priss” though. Choosing your battles will be a lifetime thing. Get used to it sister!

“I am the mother. She is the daughter.”
It sounds like you have a Mary Claire on your hands-hold on for the ride! (And yes mam, it does get better.)

“Allowing Anna to mix her plaids and stripes is easier.”
Oh, my, yes. Calling for Julie to come and testify to what Mary Claire got away with wearing around age four…

And remember, Dusty, to chant between your clenched teeth: “Choose your battles, choose your battles, choose your battles..”

Actually, I do believe your Mama had to do the same thing.
