_______________________________________________________

a few things me and my clan DID NOT do this week...

brooke did not tell jada as she was disboeying, "you bit the hand, marty. you bit the hand."

i DID NOT get out of the house with friends twice this week...and both for mexican food. i def DID NOT eat my weight in tortilla chips, salsa and cheese and onion enchilada's.

i DID NOT get all super giddy inside when i saw how many people love and love to honor tuesday and cora paige. i DID NOT get more than 250 comments in one day to make a difference in neuroblastoma research. i also DO NOT love all the people who left wonderful comments honoring other kiddos...and i DID NOT walkaway from that day finding many little babies who desperately needs more prayers.


i DID NOT fall on my face and thank god for not leaving me the way i am and bringing me to a new understanding of how i can make a difference for him here.

jada DID NOT refuse to eat the cereal she cried for on wednesday morning...and i DID NOT make her sit at the table with the soggy cereal until she ate it. that DID NOT take 5 hours. only a terrible, mean mommy would do that. {see the wonderful messy flower headband...from the cora paige sale on etsy}

brooke DID NOT tell me that taylor, a girl on her preschool bus, is in love with jonathan and they are def gonna get married.

i DID NOT praise god when i read at fab meg's place that already there has been $15,667.93 raised from the etsy cora paige playground project. amazing...

i am NOT doing a super fab giveaway tomorrow for the SITS spring fling...direct from and etsy shop...and you will def NOT want to come back and see some adorable coffee cozies and magnets that you can earn, for free!!!

seriously head over to mckmomma's {she's stinking famous too} and play along or read other not me's!

Hi there, your blog is great. Your girls are so cute. I just met Tabitha, but it seems that girl is out to save the world. She's amazing.

YES- I love my mess head band. Julie from Joys hope is great! Her blog is great too... If you do not read it, you must...
I got mine in black and white and it is soooo fabulous... I have gotten so many compliments on it.. I am ordering more. I do not think my headband helped miss Cora, but I got one of those cute pink and green pins that is just like the head band but I am going to put it on my purse...

love your not me's... you are such a good person...
I'm so thankful for all the money as well, what an awesome legacy for Cora, and how wonderful for her aching family.
Your girls are so darn cute. Soggy cereal mom? Well, we have to teach them!

I never make my kids finish their food, cold and soggy. Wow, only 5 hours to finish that cereal. LOL
So awesome about cora's charity. i totally love mexican food too. Chips and Salsa...my favorite.
Too stinking funny!!

When I was a little girl I always wanted my hair like Jada's. :) It's straight and blonde and my mom just couldn't convince me that my hair wouldn't do that!
Carrie said…
I have NEVER made my kids eat something they demanded only to refuse to eat it! LOL! Good for sticking it out! That's hard for me to reinforce sometimes!

:)
Love your "DID NOT" Monday Posts. I recognized you on my Blog!!
Meredith said…
Oh how I've missed you!! I've been a little absent these days... trying to juggle God, family, friends, life, computer time. Yikes! Makes me tired talking about it.

Looks like you've been up to some amazing things... of course, I would expect nothing less!

Miss you!

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
