Shaking my head

Well the first week is over here and I am thankfull of that part totally.  The girls have worn me out here along with I have lost weight also while I have been at it all.  As I sit here now and think over the week it has been a long week here and of course the girls did not mind the stroller at all to ride in.  I made it a game to make them stay in the stroller here and that is why they did not mind it.  Plus I did not have to lay in the guilt trip niether here during the week.  With that being said here things did get done nomatter in what was going on and my Husband was in shock here after he came home.  Ok so the girls are getting use to things being done on the cheap side here in my place and that is a good thing totally on my part of it all.  So now it has came to the point to where the girls have realized that I am the cheap one here out of the bunch and I do say no alot during the day.  The nice thing about saying no is that they know in what is going on in parts of life and do not mind it.  That is where some have to remind them selves that it is ok to say no alot more and put the foot down alot more also with the kids at this time.  So there is alot more that some realized that in why I get minded here also at this time.  I refuse to run scared of the kids around here and will put the foot down heavy to make a point.  This past week with the girls here I did not turn on the T.V. like in what they wanted totally out of me and they have learned that there are alot of things to be done during the day here other than watch the T.V. also.  I got asked yesterday do you have cartoons on your T.V. and I told the child no I do not have cartoons and it clicked with her in why it was not on during the day.  There is cartoons and she does not need to know this at all at this time.
