not me monday

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

jada DID NOT start singing, "father's house" on the way home from church...and she DID NOT change thw words after the 3rd time thru to "come and kill. kill. kill the bees".
hubs DID NOT trim the bush in the front yard to basically a trunk...and then DID NOT say, "it doesn't look dead, it will be normal in a few weeks."
paige DID NOT have her first high school softball practice {summer team}...and i DID NOT flip out thinking my kids are growing up way too stinking fast!

paige and i DID NOT drive home in the midst of number of tornadoes...while listening to the weather on the radio and watching the radar on the phone...we DID NOT get this scary pic of a tornado either. i also, DID NOT feel like helen hunt in that weird tornado movie from yesteryear.

b and jk DID NOT figure out that the barbie lambourghini DOES NOT need a battery to be fun...bc if you start at the top of the driveway and push, a joy ride with lots of bumps can be achieved. i was NOT flipping out when i saw that ryan was condoning the new "roller coaster".
we DID NOT take a fam shot with brit {b's birthmom}...and it was NOT fantastic to spend the day with her...as usual!
i DID NOT threaten one of my hs students in small group on sunday with my "magic green flip flop" if she didn't settle down. sadly, almost all my girlies DID NOT know of the magic flip flop bc they DO NOT read my tweets and stalk me quietly all week long bc they love me. {ha girls}

hubs DID NOT leave for france...again...without me. and he WILL NOT be making 3 {yes, count with me} 3 trips to paris this trip. and i am NOT green with envy and NOT angry that i stil have not seen the country of my dreams. arrrrgghhhh.

we DID NOT go to the humane society and find the dog of our dreams...anna...but we found out was prego...and we would have to foster her and the pups until the pups were 8 weeks...and i AM NOT flipping out. we DID NOT leave the humane society and b has NOT asked us to call every single minute since we left to see about her. and i am NOT torn, bc i love anna...but seriously do NOT {and this one is a real not} know anything about pups or prego dogs or whatever...and do i need more babies to take care of right now? help!!!

hubs DID NOT break the main water pipe going into the house replacing the spigot...and he DID NOT come out of the house drenched being so uber thankful that there was a shut off he installed a few years ago inside the house!
my hubs DID NOT turn 35 sunday..and he's NOT the hottest man i have ever seen in muy whole life...and he's def NOT the bestest ever hubs or daddy!!!

as started and continued on by mck mama...so head on over there, you'll love it!

You're on Twitter? Why are a bunch of high school students following you and I am not? Let's correct this asap!

And holy moly, three trips to Paris without you? That is just a crime.

Um hello! WHEN is your hubs going to take you to France with him! He is there quite a bit, is he not? I think one of these days you just need to hide in his luggage and surprise him when you get there. LOL

Happy belated bday to your hubs, too.

Love the family picture!!

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
