crazy eights

8 things i am looking forward to:
hubs returning from france
a beach vacation with hubs this year, possible alone
my dog's bark going away, forever {advice?}
coffee time with friends
summer with the fam
leading my hs girls bible study...they rock!
tomorrow's coffee from starbucks...at the store or at home, doesn't matter
just "being" with the fam and friends

8 things i did yesterday:
pooped with an audience {not planned, of course}
installed the replacement satellite receiver in NOT 10 easy steps...more like 4,293!
dropped my fresh and one sipped, sweet tea from mc d's all over the floor when the stinking edge of the foam cup caved in! gggrrrrr!
laughed at b when she came dressed for bed with a night cap on and her zippety-do-da's!
did OT with sofia...despite her lack of enthusiasm
bought aperture...the real thing, baby! no more iphoto issues...ok, so there's 30,000 pics in the library...i needed a better system!
talked to hubs in france...and missed him terribly!
did 3 loads of towels...how did i get so far behind?
ate mc d's for dinner, despite the fall of the sweet tea.

8 things i wish i could do:
poop without an audience
buy a sippy sip diet coke every single day when i want it
give all kids a loving home..and not just here
drink my stinking sweet tea
make my dog quit biting b and stop the barking...so she didn't have to go live at my bro's house.
have my cake and eat it too...in so many ways.
be skinny...and tall. and lose that dreaded genetic mutation of a double chin that adds 60 pounds to my face, especially in pictures!
adopt more kids...and pray hubs doesn't read this.

8 shows i watch:
greys anatomy
house
office

I hope the time goes fast till hubs is home!

I must read your blog more often, I didn't know your husband was in France. I hope he comes home soon.

a vacation with the hubs sounds good to me too. We were hoping to go to a marriage retreat that our church is hosting but its just not in the cards for us right now.

lol about the soda. I tried buying those 6 pack of the small 8oz sodas and I just ended up drinking them all at the same time.

I love this, I'm going to post one at my blog too.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

LOL Poop alone. We were at the zoo last week and I took Evan into the bathroom with me and he was trying to watch me pee from behind. Goober!

I was tagged with this. Haven't done it yet.

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.....
