One of those other days

Some days I feel better at this mom job than others. Today is one of the other days. Is feels like EVERYTHING with Odessa is such a battle and I get really tired and really frustrated. It seems like it could be easier if all the tiny steps of every day weren't such a tug-of-war. Is it the terrible twos (soon-to-be threes)? I don't even think that I am all that rigid of a parent either -- she gets to do it her way plenty of time. But then, of course, there have to be some limits -- no more than 2 vitamins a day, no spilling drinks all over the carpet, no running in the street etc. Anyway, today is one of those days and I am sure that most moms can relate.
