Bad start

Well I had a rough night last night around here to say the least.  I guess I was more tired than anything around the household and it was nice to have a rare day off from the kids also.  So with today here I will still be cleaning on the cheap side and that is ok by me here.  Since some have tried to cut me down around my place totally here within the past week they forget that it does not bother me at all in what some say or don't say to me either way we go.  I know what I can do and I have to take my time at things that I want to do and need to do for the household.  With that being said some have forgot in what has gone on for the past year around here with my health and other things also.  Also I have turned a new leaf over with myself and will refused to be pushed after June while I am at it all.  Things are getting cheaper for the household and some are trying to keep up in what I am doing for the place to cut the costs.  So as I sit here and wander when if I am healing ok around here and I will find out next week if I am on track.  That is part of the problem at this point in why I am still taking my time on things and sitting down often around my place.  At this point in time I need nothing from the store at all and will stay out of the stores totally for the month here.  This is what will get to some people that know me here in the area.  So at this point alot of things will not change with me at all for the house here like hanging the laundry to dry, cutting down on things, and cooking from scratch still to save money.  There are other things that will start to change here for the household also.  With that said here I am switching things over to a different brand for all areas of the household at this point in time.  I have noticed still that the cheaper brands for things will work just as good and I hope that it does not bother the birds at all here when the switch out comes up.  There are alot of things that are changing here for the best and will be streached out to the max still either way I go.  Some folks swear up and down that they are cheap when they are not that I know here in the area.  So at this point in time some do not get it at all in what is going on at my place still.  Years ago when I had the girls all of the time I went garage/yard sale hopping to get things for the girls at my place along with that being said they wore the stuff I picked up all of the time since I did laundry all of the time around the trailer.  I noticed that the mother of the girls was shopping for outfits for the 2 younger girls once a month so she did not have to do laundry for the things that fit or did not fit either way.  I also did hand me downs with the girls all of the time while I had them.  So now the same thing is going on with the boy and it makes me sick around here to know some have not changed at all in some things at all over the years.  So now at this point I did not wander in why I have left some alone over the years after I got burnt totally.  With that said here I was cheap years ago and I have went cheaper even more so after I had stopped getting the girls.  When my one Niece that works as a cashier sticks out her hand figureing that I had coupons all of these years later and I did not at the time we laughed about it.  After we explained to the line manager in what was going down she understood what was going down.  Also my Niece has said that I was the cheap aunt and I taught her well when I had her.  Once they realize it is me that who is the aunt it clicks.  Since I look for the bargins and have the coupons for the things I pick up I was known as the cheap auntie around the area.  After all said and done I am still working on the budget here at my place and always will to see where I can cut down still after all of the years and will continue to do so around here.  All I can say is do what is comfy for you at the time and go from there.  Also hold family meetings on things to get everyone caught up in what you are trying to do for the household.  Other than explaining to the children in the household of why you are broke have them sit down with you and watch you pay bills for the household and other things and they grasp things alot better when you explain and show them of why on things.  Anyway I got told yesterday that I am always welcome and her children listen to me better than they do both parents at this point in time.  I make no bones about things that goes on around the household at all and will say something also about it all.  Just like the 18 month old I told her straight out sit your toush down or ya get it with me and you get took away from everyone because of a ticket.  The lip out and water works did not do squat for the girl at all with me.  So she sat down and stayed put after all said and done.  Also some were amazed in what I can do with the boys.  All 3 boys can not stand it when the baby sister crys at all.  I looked at one of the boys and said the melt down has began with her since she needs a nap and no I will not put her down to run.  I also told him that it was good for her to cry to get her lungs kicking over and she will not be as sick as often also and he did not get it at the time untill I got her down for the first nap of the day and explained it to him.  Then the child got it after I explained it all to him and half the problems that his brothers and myself are going thru for not being able to empty out our lungs when we were her age.  So at this point in tim he understands more in what is going on and the whys of what I am doing also when I do somethings around the household and nobody wants to put up with a grumpy tired 18 month old and a 2 1/2 year old at all.  As some say I am the supper nanny out of the bunch and it goes with bringing up kids as I say.
