Decisions for daughter...and mom

It has been a very up and down few days...My daughter and I went shopping for an outfit for the Christmas show at school. What an adventure that turned out to be! She showed what being a preteen is all about! We had to negotiation dressing for that weird place between "little kid" and "way too grown for your age!" I actually found it illuminating and entertaining to watch her make choices based on what flatters her 'figure' the most. What I did not like so much is the worry that came with making sure that she studied for her exams; and feeling the anxiety that comes with wondering if you are making the right decisions for your child. What a burden! No wonder so many moms are on something to cope...Well, back to contemplating how I should handle one of many decisions about her life that are my responsibility....
