A Shopping Rule

People say that you should never grocery shop when you are hungry because you are more likely to impulse buy. I think perhaps I need my own shopping rule . . . never shop when I am annoyed and trying to prove a point. . . .as I am more apt to buy items that may cause my child embarrassment in her teenage years.

Yesterday we had some paperwork to drop off with our mortgage broker and three different women referred to Eliza as he. Granted she was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans BUT the shirt had ruffles and the jeans had butterflies and flowers on them. The clothing may have been blue but it was very feminine.

After that, we headed off to my favorite children's resale store where once again she was called a boy. I was returning a pair of pants that was to short for her and since I was given store credit, I decided to spend it on a new bow. We purchased the bow and headed off to meet dad for dinner. I know, I know, the bow is rather large, but at least no one at the restaurant thought that she was a boy!



She was modeling her new bow for the camera this morning before we headed off to day care.

Not long after I took this picture, she ripped her bow off her head. Think she is trying to tell me something?
