My Head Hurts

I have a headache. I think it is caused by the pollen that is being blown around by the wind. When I get these headaches it seems like anything the kids do gets blown out of proportion. Sometimes the littlest things bugs me. I've been trying to teach my daughter the value of working for and saving money. She's young and so far has managed to save about five dollars. She knows I have a five dollar bill in my wallet and has been trying to get it from me all day. It gets annoying but it is cute at the same time. I tell her that I'll trade her for the five one dollar bills she has. She doesn't want to trade, she just wants me to hand it to her without earning it. I keep telling that the only way she is going to get the five is by trading with me or earning it. Usually, I'd use the situation to teach her more about saving and earning. However, with this headache, I just don't seem to have the energy. I'm still not going to just give her the five though. I think she has given up for the day.
