kids and, well, roids

now, i have only birthed two of my children from my body...but i'm telling you i have a serious 'roid problem. never had this problem in pregnancy...or delivery {hello c-sections}.

but there's a serious 'roid that is not going away. any suggestions??

it started out with a little sadness...and lack of attention.
i tried creams and gels but it just made ms. 'roid more angry...
i ignored the 'roid and refuse to notice the 'roid when it was acting up in hopes of it changing it's 'roid ways...
but, alas, the 'roid is getting bigger and more needy and angrier...i need some 'roid care.
she's a preemie, so she's so small and her head hits my 4'10" butt exactly. it can't be a nice place. why oh why is it necessary to be in my butt like a 'roid??
{ok, so she's normally up my butt, so no snide comments...but seriously, how can i shoot that?}

she is the cutest 'roid i've ever seen though. i'll keep her.
{for the record, she's awesome and i love her...and i'm so thankful for her}

We all have our moments that our children feel like 'roids. Don't feel bad about it doesn't mean we don't still love them! ;)

That is cracking me up. The little faces she makes when she gets mad are so darn cute.

That child has the most expressions I have ever seen from one baby. She is just precious. My advice...just give in, she is that baby. Just do it. LOL

You've solved it for me...."Roid" is the perfect nickname for my 3! Your pictures are perfect for this post!

lol- kids and roids can be interchangable
She could be in commercials with those expressions....but please have her hollywood name be something other than 'roid.....:)

My poor little guy (18 mo.) is the same way lately, I keep having to just tell him NO and make him go play...he seems fine after a good "NO". Well, sometimes. I know, it does get trying doesn't it.

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
