Picking a Fight

I stole this idea from one of my favorite websites, SoulPancake. A recent post asked readers to list 5 things worth fighting for and 5 things not worth fighting for. Here's my list.

Worth Fighting For:
1. my kid's heart
2. my marriage
3. the truth
4. healthy self esteem
5. basic human rights for everyone

Not Worth Fighting For:
1. driving habbits
2. sports teams (ie. my team is far superior to your team)
3. oil
4. religion (ie. who's right and who's wrong)
5. politics

What about you? What's worth fighting for and what's not?

These Are The Days Of The Week

Harper learned this song at school a couple weeks ago and has been singing it non-stop ever since. Rob and I even find ourselves singing it. I think it may be rotting our brains. Being a parent is difficult sometimes.

Rockin' Out

I think Nashville might be rubbing off on her.

Vintage

The shirt that Harper is wearing today used to be mine when I was little. She pulls it off better than I did. Maybe it's the red nail polish.

Of Ducks And Men

Harper went to the park to feed the ducks the other day. On the way there, we had the following conversation.

Harper: When I grow up, I am going to be a duck.

Me: Well, you can't be a duck because you are already a person.

Harper: No, I'm going to be a duck.

Me: I thought you were going to be a doctor when you grow up.

Harper: Yeah, I'm going to be a doctor...(long thinking pause)... and a duck.

Me: Fair enough.

Remembering

I was watching the History Channel's documentary about the 9-11 attacks when Harper woke up from her nap. She came downstairs just as they were showing footage of the towers collapsing.

She watched it and then said, "Mom, what happened to those buildings?"

That's a tough one to answer.
