Long time, long week

Tomorrow Mr. Tonks and I will have been a couple for nine-years. Our seventh wedding anniversary is a couple months away.

It sounds like a long time.

It is a long time.

We've been spatting for the last couple days so there probably won't be much in the way of celebrating. I'm feeling irritated and put-out. I don't particularly like him very much right now. Love him, yes. Still, I'd kind of like to kick him in the shins.

My frustration with him spills over onto the children which isn't fair. My already short fuse gets pushed to the limit by two little people who seem to be determined to tick each other off.

*sigh*

This has not been a good week. Is it over yet?
