not me monday

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

ryan DID NOT ask brooke to say "please" in french and he'll get her blanket. her response..."i did".
after my fab new hair cut, this convo DID NOT take place...
jk: mom, why your hair is like gray?
mom: i'm getting old.
b: mom, you are not old.
jk: yes, she is old.
b: stop. she is not old.
jk: she's "old enough."

i DID NOT win a 7 day stay in an ocean front condo by simply donating to kayleigh freeman's give4kayleigh. no one was more surprised than hubs who found out in mexico...

i DID NOT wake up at the crack of stinking dawn on jk's bday to fresh bake blueberry muffins for her breakfast and to take to school for her treat. sleep is for wimps.
paige DID NOT walk into the hanging scale for veggies at the grocery. she and i DID NOT laugh until we almost peed ourselves.paige DID NOT "find" her fav sweatshirt hiding on a hanger in the closet! amazing stuff. stinking sneaky sweatshirt.

i DID NOT eat cherry pie ala mode for lunch and call it well rounded...dairy, fruit and little fiber-esque.

paige DID NOT make jk a bday card before school to make a little 4yo smile really big.
i DID NOT get an email from kristin telling me that my all time fav he-man blogger, jay at halftime lessons had sent her my way bc i had won an uber fab custom mommy necklace. seriously.
i DID NOT pray all week for mck mama and stellan and the fam as stellan is still in SVT and in need of our prayers. so please, please, pray for them...and then head over to a five oh 4 uplifting and see what you can do to help out with a goody bag donation in stellan's honor.
Prayers for Stellan

The very same conversations about me and my old age take place right in front of me here. I feel your pain.

And I'm praying, praying, praying for Stellan.

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...

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......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
