Is ten the worst age? Please tell me it gets better!

[lovinangels]

I want to rip my hair out. All of it. By the roots. She's driving me insane.

I think it might be on purpose.

She's ten. I'm thirty three, and reasonably intelligent. Logic is my friend. I want to know how, just how, this small child can push my buttons to the point where I want to explode! To be fair, when she was eight, we did decide multiple  new babies would be truly fabulous. Our world, once centered on my little aspiring actress/painter/future president, did get flipped all about.

yes, today i am moody and tired. After a fun night out with some friends, the 9 month old decided it was her turn to party. Till five am. YAY ME! on top of that, I'm actually feeling the half a glass of wine I sipped- or it might be the lack of sleep, and I have a tinge of a headache.

But it's GORGEOUS outside! since when did being sentenced to a morning of play out in the beautiful sun become child abuse? She ACTUALLY CRIED when I told them to go outside and play, they were too rowdy to be in the house. TEARS. 

AHHHHH! I know it's not her birthday, I didn't miss any major milestones, her "boyfriend" didn't dump her, and she LIKES to play outside with her sister. LOVES it actually. Runs home from the bus to scoop her up and take her out. But MOM suggests it, and oh my heavens how our world ends!

So I peek outside to see how they are doing? laughing and playing! seriously? Why the drama? Couldn't she just smile and go outside? Did we actually have to  have a mental breakdown first?

ahhh!
