I agree that you should read about Post Adoption Depression. I experienced it, and one of the big symptoms was feeling very irritated with DD, and resenting her for making my life so difficult. Also, don't think that a girl will automatically easier. I think even without a traumatic background, my daughter would still be one of those kids who has to touch everything, get into everything, climb on everything.
I do think it is normal to feel what you are feeling, and I agree that getting breaks for yourself would probably help a lot. My prayers are with you.
