Why does it jar me to the core?

Funny but when I show up to work and there are already people there, chomping at the bit to get in before our posted hours of operation it tends to REALLY grate on me. I have to make a conscious effort to move past it. But seriously...left unchecked, it can set the tone for my entire day. Crazy.

Well I am feeling frustrated

As my girls get older they seem to pick me apart a lot more.
I know this is part of their teen girl nature.
Knowing that fact doesn't seem to lessen the hurt though.
I thought it would, but it doesn't.
I find that when they argue, shoot down or pick apart any comment or thing I say or do,
I pretty much just want to go some where else, whether that is in a different room, outside,
or to my studio.
