not me monday

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

we DID NOT pack up and drive to MO for grandma's emergency surgery on wednesday. i DID NOT pack 5 peeps in 45 minutes, get the oil changed, fill the hooptie with gas and fill up a food bag in less than 2 hours. oh, i was NOT that good!
grandma DID NOT wave her toes in uncle pete's face and say "these are my toes, waving goodbye" right before she was getting her last leg amputated...grandma DID NOT laugh hysterically and then say, "i bet that's never happened to you before".

ryan DID NOT fly to france on saturday to only get stuck in newark {shocking, i know} for the night and the whole next day. ryan DID NOT spend fathers day, alone in newark, at the airport...all day.

brooke DID NOT buy roley poley's from the neighbor girl for 25 cents...to which i DID NOT explain tom sawyer and the white washing story to b....telling her she needed to be the seller and not the buyer!
i DID NOT go to one of my fav friends bachelorette parties...where we DID NOT start at chili's eating their super fantastic chicken tenders. yummo. i DID NOT make an "abby's panty line" for her with panties for her lifetime...and we DID NOT eat angel food cake and cookies and have a fab talk, just us girls. i was NOT totally blessed by seeing purity in real life...and thanking god for it!

jada's pearl of wisdom for the day was NOT "if you puke on the floor, you must clean it up. if you feel sick to your tummy, you should barf in the toilet"...just so you know.
jada DID NOT hit brooke in the face. when i asked why she hit her, she DID NOT say, "it was only the cheek, not really the real face". she DID NOT get sent to her room for time out.

i am NOT taking 60 high school students {and other adults too} to big stuf this week...and i am NOT jacked up for what things will happen this next week.

when ryan said, "it's time to make a stop...we should maybe wake up paige"...brooke DID NOT say "i'll take care of that. cock-a-doodle-doo!!!!"i am NOT feeling a itty bitty sicky with a sore throat and headache...and NOT feeling like i just wanna crawl in bed...did i mention that i AM NOT taking 60 hs students on a trip???

prayers for stellan and for all of you...home of not me monday's is over at mck mama's place!!!

Great post! And what fun pics too! My hat is off to Mama's who can wrangle kids (including Hubbys!) on car trips. Car trips always wear me out.

Hope you're having a great Monday!

I just read 7 Clown Circus post on Twitter and had me thinking (and missing out tweets;-)I changed my Twitter act to Stealshappy. My discursive act was hacked into...don't ask so I switched it and I'm moderating it a little better...just fyi! :-)

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.....
