Grump, Mutter, Grouch

I am grumpy. Things are not going as I would wish, and I don't get to just make everything work. I cannot make people be nice to my friends, I cannot forcibly change people's minds, and I am grumpy.

My twelve-year-old is also grumpy. She spent a couple nights at a friend's, staying up way late and living on caffeine and sugar, and now she doesn't feel well. Which is just too bad as we have things that need to be done today and she doesn't get to take her grump out on everyone.

Sadly, neither...
