I love my job, i love my job, i love my job...

I repeated that mantra as my daughter and I locked horns today.

Here's what my lovely 5 year-old miscreant did today:

• Demanded her special Hello Kitty plate after her eggs were presented to her on a "regular" plate. A screaming match ensued.
• Threw sand at her brother at the beach
• Smooshed her brother's sand castles with temerity
• Talked back countless times
• Refused to share
• Was generally argumentative
• Was all-around obnoxious

However now she is asleep on the couch and looks like an angel. She also made me a bead necklace that says "DAD." What is it with girls this age? They swing so violently from love to disdain. I never had girls around growing up so this is all new to me. You ladies are a complicated species. I can't wait until she's 14. Shoot me.
Did I mention that my son was fantastic today? Little boys are like Labradors and little girls are like...aggravating.
