4 is fun

I got tagged!  
It's true...so here we go with The Number Four.
(thanks again Bridget....i love your Lord's Beauty Blog!!!---stop by and check her out)

4 things I did today:
1. Got Starbucks from the real (drive thru)store...I pay just for the cup that makes the coffee taste better!
2. Watched DVR'd Jon and Kate Plus 8
3. Played on the floor with Little Miss...then did her therapies, that wasn't so much fun.
4. texted (surprise, surprise)

4 things on my to-do list:
1. clean (everything)
2. sew curtains for #2 and #3's room
3. catch up laundry (a never ending battle)
4. Pay school fees for #1 and #2

4 of my guiltiest pleasures:
1. coffee (i brew my own starbucks most days at home, but really love to get a venti from a barista)
2. TV...the Office, Grey's, DHW, Biggest Loser.
3. Diet Coke from a fountain (lovingly referred to in this house as a Sippy Sip.
4. Definitely blogging

4 random facts about me:
1. I mentor high school girls (15 + yrs now)...and they rock my face off!
2. I was on the state softball team for my home state in 1982 when we won the State title and went to Nationals in Florida.  It was amazing!
3. I still own my first car, a 1966 Mustang.  (that's another blog)
4. I'm very short.  I'm 4' 9 3/4"

I know that whole Starbucks addiction thing. But I love that you're short, too! I'm a bit taller at just 5 foot even.

You really are wee, aren't you?? Even smaller than my itty bitty mommie (she's 4'11 1/2, cuz you know you have to add in the fractions when you're small, right?)

People look at my belly rolls and I'm nearly half a foot taller and wonder how in the world I ever came from her!!

And all this time, I just thought your husband was 7 feet tall. " )

Four is fun! I love starbucks coffee too but Dunkin Donuts is my FAVE! My honey and I load up the kids at least a few weekend mornings a month and drive 40 minutes to the closest DD just to have a cup of coffee and a donut. Ha! Ha!

Oh and any soda is better from the fountain. And the girl's new hair styles are fantastic. All of your little ones are so darn cute!

Holy cow, you are short, girl! I have a "big" sister who is 4'11"; she is 9 years older than me, and I have been taller than her since I was 11. She hated that. And I hated feeling like a huge giant when I was with her. Oh, well.

Thanks for the sweet comments on my SITS day. I love the look of your blog (don't you love free backgrounds?) Obviously, we have great taste :)

I just turned GREEN with envy when I read about your mustang! My dream car is a restored 60-something mustang, and my first car was a 1984 'stang and I would give a LIMB to have that car still!

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
