Epic Battle #1: To have Ben sleep in his own room.
Tools used: Bribery.
Length of battle: 5 nights in a row.
Results: Ben slept in his room for 5 nights in a row and in return, his collection of Star Wars figurines grew by 2. Oh, and I threw in a new paint job for his walls. They used to be yellow (in picture) and aqua blue. Now they are light blue and dark blue.
Another epic battle

Even if the kohlrabi does look like an alien spaceship.Epic Battle #3: To attend a Taylor Swift concert with my 11 year old daughter
Tools used: Mind over matter
Length of battle: Driving to Omaha, (2.5 hours) and length of concert (3.5 hours), driving back home (2.5 hours)
Results: I got over my shaking anxiety of being surrounded by all those people who all clearly wanted to harm my daughter, (mothering makes me crazy) witnessed the look of 'pure joy' on my daughter's face when we arrived at the arena, did not embarrass Madison in an 'obvious' manner and even did some school supply shopping the next morning. WooHoo!!!
Gotta love a girl with a glittery guitar
