not me monday


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

jada DID NOT start yelling one morning, "everyone is walking around!"...to which ryan and immediately jumped in and said, "i love lamp"...


when i told b that is was nap time, she DID NOT say "i am definitely not taking a nap today mom. naps are not cool."

at b's soccer game, there was NOT a "little miss sunshine" look alike on the field...pony tail, high and tight shorts, glasses...and i DID NOT immediately text paige, bc what kind of mother would want to remember the name of her character instead of watching a 5 year old (for pete's sake) play soccer? oh yes, that was NOT me.


{WARNING: this is girlie info...}i DID NOT have the world worst and
longest visit from aunt flo which conveniently started on thursday right before the weeke
nd...and i DID NOT text 2 of my friends to tell them i had an unexpected visitor...to which i DID NOT receive a a text that said, "who is this? why am i getting this text?"...
to which i DID NOT flip out when i realized i had totally messed up the number for my friend and told a stranger, aunt flo was in town. i was NOT embarrassed...and DID NOT delete the text or reply.

i DID NOT sneeze so hard this weekend that i peed my pants. nope.
i'm a 40 year old woman...i NEVER pee myself. {insert "whatever" here}

i DID NOT leave my little miss sofie for the first time...and for 3 nights...this weekend. i DID NOT almost cry at one point thinking about it...
and when i walked back inthe door, sofie DID NOT come running and giggling as hard as she could. and that def DID NOT make me fill with joy and love.


ryan DID NOT bring up my girlie pies to visit me as a surprise this weekend...he DID NOT drive 3 hours, combined, to visit for an hour bc he knew it would rock their world...and mine!

when i introduced brooke to a friend this weekend, i said she was 6 years old...to which b DID NOT reply, "i am only 5, for pete's sake" and roll her eyes.


i DID NOT spend 3 days with 75 high school students, get like 6 hours of sleep, eat super food, make awesome new friends and see christ move in and change lives...again! praise god.

so, i have to be honest, with all the lack of sleep and lack of kid time, i don't even have time, or ability this week to think beyond...so i may just have to do a NOT ME tuesday too...

for now, head to mck mama's, the mother of NOT ME's

I would have died laughing had I texted to the wrong person! I'm glad hubby got the girls to you. I'm sure he deserves extra kisses and hugs for that. :)

Sounds like you had a great weekend. I just received an odd text a few minutes ago, funny! Don't think it was meant for me so I deleted it.

Loved the pic of Jada!
I can't help laughing at your random texts to strangers and your peeing your pants! I would NEVER do either of those things. Ha ha ha!
My kids are with their dad this week so I totally identify with you missing your baby! =(

OMGosh!! Hahaha!! Love that you texted a stranger about AF!

"I'm only 5, for pete's sake" Hilarious! Hahaha!

That was very sweet of your hubby to bring the kidlets up to see you!

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
