i want off this train today

I can put a fire out, cut apart a car to extricate a person, and climb a 105ft ladder without flinching..... But then why oh why can't I get my daughter to just.stop.crying. It kills me when I haven't seen her because I've been at work and she is a cranky mess. Early bedtime for everyone tonight. Today is not one of my better days and I keep snapping at the children because they won't stop fighting. Hallmark can shove their mothering-is-the-best-job-in-the-world attitude. Mothering can be thankless and relentless. My patience is stretched thin and I am on the verge of having my own bawl fest except I don't have the energy to make tears. Sigh. I.need.sleep.
