The nightmare that is 5 years old

The nightmare that is 5 years old...I miss the joys of having a toddler. Now I have a whiny, fussy, bitchy and pissy 5 year old. I can't be nice when I describe her right now. One minute she will be fine then all hell breaks lose and IT'S FREAKING MELTDOWN TIME. Don't get me wrong I love her and the little person she is turning into. But her moodiness can almost drive you to drink. She make her sister and I look calm during our period weeks... She doesn't eat a whole meal, she will graze, which would be alright if she didn't tell us 10 minutes after dinner she wants bread or dessert. Now there are some meals that she will eat, eat and eat more but the next time you make it you get the face. The OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU FEED THIS TO ME FACE. My favorite thing I hear from her is "Can I just have a Lunchable?" I try not to blow my lid but I always think to myself child I slaved over the hot stove, the oven or the grill to make this meal!! NOW EAT IT. Getting dressed for the day is fun too. She will try to negotiate what she wants to wear. Some days I give in and let her stay in her pj's for days cause hell I'm in mine too. Means less laundry for me. But on the days she has school she wants stay in the outfit from yesterday or wear something that she wore earlier in the week. I will spare everyone the nightmare which is her taking a bath or shower. God forbid she gets her hair wet or water in her ear but if we are at the pool or playing in the water there is no problem.
