not me monday

a few things that you should know that i DID NOT do this week...

hubs DID NOT call me outside to show me what he caught the reindeer in the garage doing...see for yourself. men...and i love that he totally DID NOT want me to blog this.
{now you see how my hubs is or is NOT}

brooke DID NOT tell my mom and dad that "this chair is the chair my dad always sits in to drink his beer. this is definitely his beer drinking place. he drinks a lot of beer in that chair."

jada DID NOT tell me after preschool, "it is not okay for me to chase my boyfriend at school."

we DID NOT all go out as a fam and play in the snow together...and manage to get only one kid crying!

i DID NOT buy all the food to feed p's bball team and then school and the game DID NOT get canceled. we DID NOT have a few turkey sandwiches this week for lunch.

i DID NOT get overwhelmed with a constant need to pray for Tuesday's family...and for Cora Paige and her family...and for Kayleigh and her family...and because of all of it, i DID NOT learn what real strength and faith in god is by remembering that my life is soooo good. i am also NOT begging you to please go and see these three families and please, please pray for them.


i DID NOT get the real starbucks from hubs early saturday morn...and you should NOT be jealous.

i DO NOT want you to enter my fab bloggy giveaway...and i DO NOT want you go and read about it. so please DON'T!

brooke DID NOT say, "ok, i just spit sprite out my nose" on the way home from church. we DID NOT laugh really hard.

jada DID NOT say, "i love that princess pea. she's got the best brown skin i've ever seen. and she's beautiful, just like me."

Your family is so, so beautiful. I just love seeing pictures of your kids.

Itsn't funny when the "husbands" become interested in blogland? My guy has recently starting proposing topics for me to write about too. Always a good time!

Well, at least the reindeer were like that in the garage and not on the front lawn, lol.

I love what Jada did not say about Princess pea...

And the reindeer? Priceless. And there is NO way I would ever find something similar if we had reindeer...

Great list! Love the beer chair & the reindeer is classic! Somebody does that to the reindeer in my parents' yard every year. Hey...wait...where do ya'll live? LOL!

I will say that I was distracted by the Starbucks though. Total score.

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
