What have I gotten myself into?

Yeah, I know, she’s super cute. She’s friggin’ adorable. She’s smart as a whip. Hilarious to watch. But she’s also a bit of a nightmare at times. A nightmare I was so not prepared for. Trust me, I love this creature, most of the time (kidding, kidding). But I am having a hard time of…
