Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

Man, whoever said girls were easier to raise didn't have a day like today. I don't know which came first, G's back-talking and general argumentativeness, or my foul mood, but there was plenty of it all day. Consequently, she spent the better part of the afternoon in time-out – just like yesterday. I pray that this is just a phase because it really wears you down fast, not much left in the reserves for everyone else.
