Tired!!

Wow, I am so tired, physically, mentally and emotionally. I try not to post complaints to much, but I need to vent tonight so that I can get to sleep. I had a 2 1/2 hour battle of wits with my almost 9 year old daughter. She is so stubborn, and refuses to lose - no matter what it is, she will fight until the end. It wears me out. I can usually just turn her over to her dad and he will deal with it and she will listen to him. But he was in bed with a headache so I was trying to deal with her myself, besides I figured that I needed to quit letting her walk over me. Somedays I just don't know what to do with her. Yet when she wants to be she is the sweetest - doing all she can to help others. Just have to channel her stubborness in the right direction, until then I'll just pray to not run out of steam.
