Bad day

I have had a lousy day today. It is a simple case of "being too tired to motivate the unmotivated!" Four hours of motivating one stubborn child to do 3 simple 10 minute pages of math is just plain obnoxious. Why Lord? Why? At what point will this child realize that if she waists my day, her life is miserable? She is unloading the dishwasher with an angry streak and then she gets to do her English. But I don't think I have anymore motivation potion left. I don't want to help her anymore today. Yes, her life is really miserable today. And the Mommy needs a vacation, retreat or something to restore smiles back in our house.
