I need to verbally vomit on someone!

Sorry for the gross title, but I need to vent! I just had one of the WORST evenings with my dear 5 yr old daughter, ugh! We got home and everything was cool. I could tell she was really tired, but that is nothing new. It started with homework, I had to constantly redirect her to stay on task. What should have taken ten minutes took, like forty. Example:

Me: Write this sentence: Bob is a tan and red fish.
Her: (snotty tone, picture Veruca Salt) How could a fish be tan? That is a skin color, not a fish color!
Me: Well, that's what is says, just write the sentence exactly as I said it.
Her: You're mean!
Me: (sigh) Your teacher wants you to write this sentence, even if it doesn't make sense to you.
Her: You're not listening to me! I said a fish can't be tan!

This goes on for a while. I then tell her she needs to read a story aloud to me.
Her: I don't like that story!

You get the picture. She then has a meltdown when I tell her that I can't read a book she wants me to read until I am done making dinner, but that I will be happy to read it to her when I am done. I can feel the beast stirring (see older post about this subject), I am trying to hold him at bay, but I am getting weaker...
Later: It's now finally, time for her to go to bed. She then says that we didn't have enough quality time and starts crying. I remind her that we did indeed have plenty of quality time and I remind her of the time I set aside to play "I Spy", "Simon Says", finding hidden pictures etc. She tells me I am mean again and then threatens to run away forever! At this point I am trying HARD to be patient, but it is wearing on me...and I am actually feeling ill, from trying so hard not to lose it.
I finally get her into bed and tell her that tomorrow we will have quality time again. She tells me she is not going to snuggle with me anymore because, I am so mean (Serenity now! Serenity now!). So, finally she fell asleep. And, Scene! Just one of those hard evenings, dear hubs is at work, I had the busiest day at work, but I didn't lose my patience! This is a small victory for me, believe it or not! Thanks for reading, I feel better already. Now where is that bottle of wine? :)
