Not Me Monday

"not me monday"...where i tell you what i DID NOT do this week.

i DID NOT pray and pray and pray for Stellan when he was so sickly and in the hospital. i DID NOT look continuously on twitter for mckmama's updates. {stellan is home, praise God}

i DID NOT fit fantastic in my fav br jeans!! woot woot.

i DID NOT get 3 hours out of the house where i DID NOT shop and shop and shop...and literally came home empty handed. whyyyyyyy?!

i DID NOT miss ringing in the new year we were in bed watching ELF and our clock was off.

we DID NOT have the lamest "party" with the kids watching ELF and feeling pukey. menu: chocolate milk for kids, one beer a piece for the oldies, spinach and artichoke dip...and yes, frozen pizza. be soooo jealous!

i DID NOT blow off 2 parties on ny eve bc sofie was cutting 3 teeth and was NOT a grumpy butt!

i DID NOT go out to eat with JK and her bmom and not make her share food with me when i saw that kraft mac n cheese was $5...and didn't even come with a veggie or drink! seriously! do these people think i'm rich? it's a $0.69 box from kroger...i'll bring my milk and butter to donate next time.

i DID NOT let my girls wear jammies for 3 days in a row this week since we were staying at home and not going anywhere.

i DID NOT sneak to chik-filet for an oreo shake on my 3 hour shopping trip to only be busted by hubs when he called and asked me for coffee...bc i couldn't drink it fast enough.

An oreo shake sounds so good and it is only 7:30 am. You went shopping alone and brought back nothing? I'm impressed...or depressed...not sure. lOL

I've got the stomach flu today, so none of the food sounds good... ;) But, I was crazily checking MckMamma's twitter updates too... never did get them to cooperate and come to my phone though... bummer. I'd love to figure that one out yet, but the website was less than helpful. I got my new blog layout up... I bought a premade from blogalicious! I really like it! come see! I won't breathe on you, I promise.

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
