not me monday

oh the christmas season...full of joy and peace and a TON of "NOT ME's"

i DID NOT get a real smile and a real pic of paige without her hand in front of her face!!!! and to seal it with a kiss, she's hanging out with ryan...love it!

i DID NOT eat half of a hershey's candy bar (big size to boot) for lunch one day...with a diet coke, of course. i think if i did do that, the diet coke would def cancel out the candy.

i DID NOT get sofie's bday pink roadster ordered after seeing cute finn on his silver one christmas morn!

i DID NOT laugh so hard i almost peed myself when paige screamed her lungs out in the car after a balloon hit her on the shoulder...and she was sure it was a hand. {mom of the year}

i DID NOT fall out of the hoopty when i was in the grocery store parking lot in the ice storm this week. i also DID NOT look around to see who was looking and laughing.
{that's ice..not rain}

i DID NOT laugh at my M/FIL's christmas tree that is totally missing the tree top part. i also DID NOT laugh harder when my MIL said "you can hardly notice."
i DID NOT get all sentimental when i saw that someone gave my MIL an ornament with grandpa o's name on it in his memory this year for christmas. i then DID NOT laugh so hard i almost fell on the floor hearing that grandma o said she hoped that an ornament would be coming in her honor for next christmas.

i DID NOT get a little sad when i realized this is the last christmas with a baby in the bush...i also DID NOT thank god again and again for the wonderful blessing of all 4 of our "roses".

Ok, the tree "Not Me" made me LOL. Poor little Charlie Brown tree - I'm glad it found someone to love it though! And it does look pretty all dressed up, even without the top. :o) Thanks for the laugh this morning. I needed it! :o)

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
