It doesn't have to be like this...

I am so tired and frustrated with my kids, my husband and my life right now. My kids are wild and I can't figure out why or how. They are usually really well behaved but the past week has been just plain awful! My daughter (age 3) has been coloring on the walls, cutting her hair, cutting her barbies hair, acting out and being plain old ugly in general. My son who is usually
very well behaved has been sassy and disobedient (I hate that word). I'm not sure what has gotten into them but it needs to go back to the way things are supposed to be. My husband has been a total ass lately. He's rude and inconsiderate, short tempered and just an all around pain in my ass. With all of this going on I am no ray of sunshine either. I can feel the tension and the stress building from dealing with these people and their attitudes. I'm hoping that it's just some kind of planetary adjustment and that it will all shift back into rightful zones relatively soon. I'm not sure that I can take much more. I have laid down the law with the kids, straighten up and act right or you're about to start losing privileges like video games, sleep overs, tv time, etc. With my son, it seems to be working (he's almost 9) but my daughter is a mess. She doesn't want to listen, she doesn't want to bend at all. I'm thinking she's just testing boundaries while trying to become more independent. I just hoping she gets over it soon. As for my husband outside of work stress and having no outlet, I just assume not interact with him a all. Speaking in his direction causes arguments and "pissy dances" and I'm just not interested. I'm just trying to do what I have to do to make it through a day with my sanity intact.
