not me monday

a few things me and the fam DID NOT do this week

paige DID NOT receive all a's on her report card...for the second trimester this year.

brooke DID NOT tell me about the crazy leprachaun at school who keeps playing tricks on the class...who apparently DID NOT pee in the toilet and it was NOT green. b DID NOT say, "it was so biz-gusting i thought i was gonna puke."

driving home from church on sunday, brooke says, "is this our town mom?" to which i replied, "yes, this is {peepervilletown} city". to which brooke DID NOT reply, "ok, mom. let's not overdo it. i just wanted to know."

jada DID NOT get dressed for bed and come up with purple jammies, orange socks and red shoes...did i mention...for bed? sleeping?
hubs DID NOT ask "are you washing that chicken's butt?" when i was prepping the bird for cooking.

paige and i DID NOT go on our "alone time" to starbucks, where we chatted and drank coffee...and she DID NOT totally beat my butt at checkers. we DID NOT come home with big smiles and laughing because boys are stupid and girls rule...and being alone with your teenage daughter is NOT fun at all!

i DID NOT do a photoshoot of one of the cutest baby boys on friday...and i was NOT dying to get my hands on that sweet little dude.
i DID NOT get completely surrounded the fam with prayers when we asked...and i DO NOT feel more than peaceful because of all those prayers.

head on over to mck mama's place...she's got lots more NOT ME's!

I had to chuckle at the naughty Leprechaun. After St. Patty's last year, Jackson would blame any and all misdoings on the poor little man!

Glad you and Paige had a fun girls night!

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
