Another Hurricane?

Let me first say that my family (and many others) are in prayer for everyone affected by Gustav as he hit land today. 

One of the (no so good) ways we cope with things is that we have to make light of anything and everything.  So, as hubby was drinking coffee this morning with Little Miss on his lap, he takes a pic of the 'hurricane map' on top of her head.  (please just see the humor)

Sometimes a good laugh can get you through a lot!

Now that's cute! I think humor is a great coping mechanism. I couldn't get through life without it!
Coincidentally, J's son and one of my daughters share their names with a hurricane! lol

Oh my gosh...that is so neat!
I am with you...I always always break out the humor when I get stressed. Probably why I am so sarcastic all the time...I'm always stressed!

I think my girls have all had similar maps on their heads - wish I would've taken a pic - how funny.

Hee, that's hilarious! What a fun coping mechanism.

I hate hurricane season. My brother and his family live on the coast of Florida and always get hit a few times a year. Ugh. I keep trying to tell him how awesome and hurricane-free Boston is. He always counters with some blah blah blah about snow :)

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...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

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
