I need to FIRM UP!

Today was a tough one, I was mentally drained...
A school tour with the kids (solo as a parent), and they both wanted me to hold them. Hard to listen! :)
Looking at houses...went to 2 with the kids. The first, Henry cried because there was a dog and Sophia cried because there was a cat...both very friendly. Non stop crying, Sophia, you were feeding off of Henry I think. Henry, you cried the ENTIRE time and the dog couldn't have been friendlier...
Went to Nordstrom's for lunch with the kiddies...
Home for a nap for Henry, I packed and Sophia, you sat with me while I packed.
Cleaned the house, did 4 loads of laundry (we are potty training you Sophia for night time...)
Henry awake from nap and then off to Target.
So tired but...tomorrow Mexico, yippee!

My lesson of today hit home hard...I always feel like I am fairly firm with you kiddies but as I was packing with Sophia, she kept asking and asking and asking if she could watch tv...

I was trying to pack and I kept saying , ‘no’…finally after the 3^rd or 4^th time of whining/asking I said, ‘fine’. She THEN said, ‘mom, why did you say no then? Why did you say ‘no’ and then say ‘yes’??’ I guess I need to start sticking to my guns!
