Am I losing my mind???

I just have to express how hard it is to raise a pre-teen and I find it scary to think that she will be a full blown teen very soon and it is all downhill from here! Currently, I have to practically beg her to shower and clean her room. I have to force her to do her homework and man, I honestly think that someone spilled super glue on the couch because her ass is stuck to it. Please tell me someone can relate. This shit is gonna drive me nuts. Or, am I already nuts?? She thinks I am. Maybe she is right.

Yesterday I told Princess that if she chose to leave her dishes and not put them in the dishwasher then she would not be able to eat again until she hand washed the dish. That sounded reasonable to me. Her, not so much. She looked at me and said,"Wow Mom, that's harsh!!". Harsh, she has no clue what harsh is. Harsh to wash a dish. Ummm... I'm not beating her or making her wash all of dinner dishes. I think it pretty easy. But again, her mouth does not shut. I think that is another issue lately. She has a case of Diarrhea mouth. I truly hope that is what it is because it seems as if she has no control of the shit that quickly flows out her mouth.  Everything I say to her she has something more to add. It never ends. I sure hope they continue to grow as fast as they did when they were little so she can grow right out of this stage. Then she can slow down again. Better yet, has anybody found the reset button?? Even a rewind button?

Well, I guess I am done with my rant and I think I really am going crazy. But... this to shall pass, I hope!!!
