Fighting a losing battle

Sometimes as a stay-at-mom we feel like we are fighting a losing battle. There are days full of smiles and laughter but today is not one of those days. Every turn is faced with a new small but frustrating problem. I'm trying. But it's not going to turn out my way. Not today. 4 o'clock and I'm ready for pjs and everyone to go to bed. Every new annoyance will not be solved. Not today. I'll try again tomorrow.
