love christmas...

...but i still seriously hate winter.
{{when ur bushes look like this...its stinks}}

good thing i love Jesus...i might say a few words that would get me on santa's naughty list...and go nuts with this -22 degree weather.
{and for those of you that take life too seriously, loosen up...Jesus def has a sense of humor...have you looked at a giraffe?}}

for those of you that live where it's warm {i hate you, to quote the grinch}, when the weather dude comes up with a word called "wind chill"...don't listen any further. literally translated from it's greek origins, "wind chill" means "stay in your freaking house idiot...it's cold!"

stay warm...and have a very merry Christmas!

I can't stand the cold either. However, living in California, it's not as cold as it it where you are (lately it's been ranging 20-50). One Christmas many years ago it was sunny and hot. Lets just say, I hated it!!!! It didn't feel like Christmas.

BTW....giraffe's are super cute..lol!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Brrrrrrr as Brenton would say! That's downright cold. Won't Santa get frostbite when he comes to visit? Sorry to hear you don't have some white stuff to go with the frigid temps... Hang in there. You are now closer to summer than farther. The days are only going to get longer and sunnier from here!

Brr..-22 is way too cold for me. The high here was in the 30s yesterday, which would be a heat wave for you. My dad called while we were out running errands and told us we were crazy that it was too cold to be out.

I love your blog and I agree, Jesus has to have a sense of humor. : )

Love the cold, but below zero is pushing it. Stay warm.

Natalie said…
okay, i live where it is supposed to be warm but it is not. and i agree, when they are using the word wind chill they should say stay in your house...of course in texas, when they start saying 'heat index' it means you might spontaneously catch on fire if you go outside away from your fan!

fun pictures!!!

This weather we're having here makes me miss Alaska in the winter more than usual!

This windy-wet-rainy-cold-single digit-crap in Missouri with not a drop of snow to be seen is making me mad!

First time visiting now I'm off to visit more.

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.....
