Have you ever had one of these days\\u2026 There are just some days you want to join the fussy crowd.

You wake up and are feeling confident about the day. Then you walk past your child\\u2019s room and say, \\u201cGood morning!\\u201d The response you receive is less than enthusiastic and you think, maybe she will cheer up before breakfast. She just needs to wake up. Then you sit down to eat. She\\u2019s not in a bad mood. She\\u2019s not even upset or angry. She\\u2019s just rather blah.

The other daughter wakes up in a good mood, snuggles with you for awhile, and is pleasant and cheerful through breakfast. But later in the morning when she is supposed to be practicing her piano lesson she begins by BANGING on the keys in frustration. Your first response is to feel despondent\\u2014\\u201cGreat! Another one of THOSE days.\\u201d\\u2014and join the grumpy crowd.
