defeat

Ugh.  I hate when you think you are past something, and then it hits you in the face.  Bam.  Out of nowhere.  You think "I can't believe that just happened"  But, really, you can believe it because it has happened before...more than once.  You know what it feels like..it feels like walking away and then someone yanks on your ponytail hard and drags you back.  Not only does your head hurt, but you are back where you started.  Unfortunately, that's been my day.  More than once today, I've had my ponytail yanked.
