not me monday

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

i DID NOT have my hs girls bible study on wednesday night...and we totally DID NOT have a great study and super fun times! at the end, the hs girlies DID NOT take turns riding down the driveway in the barbie lamborghini with b pushing them.

brooke DID NOT tell me "mom, we have to go home now...my underpants are totally not fitting and i think you can see my pee-jine-ah.

sofia DID NOT finally grow enough hair to see her curls!!!
paige DID NOT hide herself under a blanket, cell phone ready to dial and remote in hand {for a weapon, of course} when she heard someone walking down the basement steps while i was out one night visiting a friend in the hospital. it was NOT brooke, who was NOT sleep walking...and had no clue how freaked out paige was in the matter.jada DID NOT spend the night with a family friend to only freak out at 11pm and want to come home. i DID NOT tell my friend to lay her down, kiss her and tell her good night and ignore the tears bc they were from exhaustion. she DID NOT text me back and say that she was just fine once they offered her a sleeping bag to sleep in instead of the bed. who knew?

i DID NOT see b picking out the flower stems from j's pot of flowers late one night. the next morn, b DID NOT say to me, "wow mommy. my flowers are growing really well. i wonder why jada's aren't?"
stinker. she DID NOT get a lecture on the eyes on have behind my head seeing her deceitful ways!
oh, and i AM NOT in florida with 60 high school students rocking it out and having a blast...right now! so be jealous...and i'll pick up on commenting when i get back! peace!

not me's are the brain child of mck mama's...head there for some other fab ones!!!

You are too funny. Love that Brooke needed to leave because of her undies. Have a great time in florida.

Oh I love Brooke - a girlie after my own heart, but yes, mama's always have eyes in the back of her head.

Have fun in FL!

Oh my word!! Your B sure makes me laugh. She and my Jack are so much alike! I can totally see him taking his brother's flowers on the sly.

And as far as the underwear, don't you just hate it when your pee-jine-ah shows??
Megan said…
OH no!! Hhaahaha! (B picking out Jada's flowers so her's were growing better! Hahahahaha!)

Um, I sure hope you have pictures of your HS girls riding in the babie-mobile!

Aww, poor Paige!

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.....
