Yep, it's Monday

Today has not been the day of the Happy Monday. Frustration has been just under the surface, simmering all day. I haven't gotten much done today, aside from usual Monday errands.

Had a snarky 9 year old daughter, who seemed to snark, smart off, and generally irritate me most of the day. Whether it was her trying to "mother" me over things (You know Mom, you said you'd...) or be snarky about meals. (You know if you make that, no one's going to eat it.) I had my fill by dinner, and pretty much informed her to go to her room, because I was very close to beating the snarky out of her.

If this is the beginning of Teen Life, then I'm going to need happy pills as well as the occasional sedative. Because it will get ugly.

Oh, and to make my day even more exciting and wonderful (NOT) I got two more rejection letters today, and the trim on the carpet broke, the metal now sticking up in the air, regardless of the amount of hammering I perform to press it back down--it's cracked, and probably needs to be replaced.

So yeah, Monday was not productive.

Think I need to go write a really mean, nasty fight scene. Someone's getting their butt kicked, even if it's just in my writing.
