10 kids curse

"mom, i kissed a boy tonight."
me: "really."
"yep. it was great."
me: "what made you decide to do that?"
"just did. it was fun."
me: "who did you kiss?"
"john."
me: "your cousin?"
"yep. i just leaned right over and kissed him."
me: "where did you kiss him?"
"like this." (followed by a kiss on the cheek).

yep...it's true. brooke kissed a boy...her second cousin, john, for pete's sake. hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come...i guess i need to ugly this girl up and teach her to keep her lips to herself a bit! boy, this is too much. i thought i only had to worry about the teen kissing the boys...and she doesn't!!! but, the 5 year old...oh my.

that's my brooke.

and, sadly, soooo me too. this is me and my cousin, kevin...throw back a few years...and kevin, btw, is john's dad.

this is one of those times where you hear your mom and dad laughing hysterically in the background saying, "isn't great to have kids?" it's the old "ten kids curse" (when ur yells, 'ur gonna have 10 kids that act just like u...and u get the curse) alive and well...ahhhhhh.
yep...i so did that!

OK - we must be soul mates somehow... that's so funny you were putting up the same video - you also work with youth (We can survive ANYTHING if we work with youth - hehe!) & you're a fellow Hoosier... I love meeting new Blog Buddies.... I FOR SURE am coming back - love your posts!!!!

By the way - I had a "kissin' cousin" when I grew up - me & him always had to kiss when we'd see each other & the family would give their "aaaahh's" each time.... we refused to do it after we got around the age of 6-7... then boys had cooties!
I got that curse too! I may not have 10 kids but they've thrown so much of my own tricks back at me, it's not even funny!

So, the saying really is true. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree now does it??? lol

Both my daughters know that boys have cooties. They are not allowed to go anywhere near them! So far it's working, but I don't think it will work much longer... Yikes!!!

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
