not me monday

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

i DID NOT totally embarrass p when her bf was over saturday and i mentioned the word "underwear". p DID NOT word "i hate you" to me with a huge smile...and r and i DID NOT laugh hysterically all weekend about it. and no, we are NOT that childish.b DID NOT tell me that we needed to go and get a frog or two. when i asked why she DID NOT tell me that frogs eat flies and we wouldn't have to worry a bit about getting rid of them ourselves.sofie is NOT laying on my chest right now and feeling icky. she DID NOT sleep 13 hours last night and take 4 naps yesterday...and i am NOT going to call the doctor.
**update...she DID NOT just puke all over me...booo. poor thing.**

ryan DID NOT play like a little boy in the back yard last night using the blower to blow a sand bucket in the air and all around.

b DID NOT score 2 goals in soccer this week...and one of them was actually for her team!you all DID NOT support the "for tuesday" blog party and raise almost $3000 for pediatric cancer research! way to NOT help out!

p, ryan and i DID NOT go graduation dress shopping...and survive. i DID NOT lose a heartbeat when i say p in her dress...and i DID NOT feel ancient and happy all at the same time.

b's bmom, brit, DID NOT graduate from high school saturday. and we WERE NOT beaming with joy and delight for her achievements in spite of difficult times and decisions...praise god for his grace and strength!!!
brooke DID NOT tell her teacher this week that "my daddy drinks a lot of beer"...and i DID NOT die of embarrassment when the teacher told me all the while she was giggling.

jada DID NOT come outside yesterday, lips and fingers covered in cheese puff orange gook. i asked, "did you eat cheese puffs without permission?" she DID NOT respond, "i did not eat anything."
when ryan DID NOT ask "are you sure bc i see the orange on your fingers and face" she DID NOT look right in his eyes and DID NOT say, "i have not eaten a thing." she DID NOT go to her room for time out for lying...and i was NOT amazed at her stubborness...and i DID NOT giggle a little when she walked away.

i was NOT the "cool mom" and took the babies to the park and played...until the buses unloaded day care kids...we DID NOT make a grand escape quickly.

i DID NOT get this post up way late...oops.

more not me's at mck mama's place...go see!!!

You have such a beautiful family that does not get into mischief from time to time. The orange cheese puff gook....Jada has no idea that mommies have eyes in the back our heads. It would've been hard for me to not laugh.

"and one of them was actually for her team."

Bwahahaha!!!
Megan said…
Wow, so much that you did NOT do!

How funny that Paige was embarrassed by 'underwear'. Goof!

I think B's thinking is reasonable. Get frogs. No flies. Sounds good to me!

Aww, I hope Sofie feels better asap!

Boys and their toys. LOL

Hahaha! Glad to hear B scored a goal for her team. heehee

Congrats to B's birthmom!! =D

Your kids are just characters! Love them!

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
