not me monday

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

i DID NOT eat 3 reese's cups and call it dinner bc there was protein {pb} involved.

jada and brooke DID NOT tell me i had superpowers when i used my green flip flop to kill 6 bees this week. jada DID NOT say, "man, mommy, you are a total super hero."

i DID NOT have 3 kids puking this week at once...and i DID NOT clean up too much vomit and poo...and i also DID NOT gag while doing it.

brooke DID NOT say on the way to church, "this music you guys are listening to is totally lame."

we saw a lady at lowe's with 2 little purse sized dogs...brooke DID NOT say "that was totally cool."

at p's softball game, jada WAS NOT playing ring around the rosey with friends. when it came time to "all fall down", jada DID NOT stand there and say, "i'm not falling down. i'm staying right here."

i DID NOT use my super powers and my magic green flip flop to kill 7 bees this week. jada and brooke DO NOT think i am a super hero...and ryan is pretty impressed that the bees are gone.

paige DID NOT finish her school softball season with some awesome games. she DID NOT have 2 power hits and some incredible catches. she is NOT a great kid too.
i am NOT that person who is cheap and thinks $3 to watch my kids play softball every single time is terrible...and i DID NOT stand at the fence and watch the game so i could cheer closer to my kiddo anyway!
we DID NOT decide to take some fun advice off twitter and name our toilets...dora, backyardagains, el toileto and cookies. not what i would do, but they had fun.

jada DID NOT get stuck getting out of the barbie jeep. i DID NOT start laughing hysterically and she DID NOT turn and say, "this is not funny, mom." to which i DID NOT recant, "you are right. it's hilarious!"
head over to mck mama's for more not me monday's...and have a super fab memorial day. remember those who have served and are serving now!

Your family is a hoot. I love that B thinks the music you listen to is lame. LOL I rather enjoy your playlist when I come to visit. :)
Still waiting for Jada video driving the jeep. Better hurry, she is gonna get good at it soon.

You have to pay to watch you kids play softball? That's rough. Reeses for dinner rocks!
Reeses for dinner sounds perfect....I wonder if PB cup ice cream could be a good dinner too (protein, dairy....)

$3 to watch your kid play? really? wow city budget cuts or what?

love that you are a super hero...that is awesome and so are your kiddos!
Oooh, I'm totally having Reese's for dinner tonight now! ha ha ha

i think i may go have some chocolate too! that would go well with all the carbs i've had today! i didn't totally think you were my hero with your green flip flop too!!! Wonder what you could do with a red one? Yeah... there you go... that would be something to see!

3 Reese's for dinner? Weren't you starving? I'd have to eat 10 of them before I'd even start to feel full!

Yay for killing bees! Super hero, you are!!

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.....
