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

at my cousins wedding, brooke DID NOT dance the waltz with her cousin, ben. the DID NOT waltz the entire dance floor, adding twirls and doing the box step.brooke DID NOT point at and push into my mom's "chest" and say, "nana, i can see your breast right here" during the wedding.

paige and gabby {fab cousin} DID NOT do the hoe down throw down for the whole place at the wedding...

hubs DID NOT leave for another out of the country business trip...china this time. we are NOT jealous and are NOT missing him terribly already.

sofia DID NOT look at me from across the room when i told her to come to me and say "no no" and shake her finger in the air at me.jada DID NOT yell 'santa!!' B DID NOT storming in the room running and shout 'where!?'. jada DID NOT point to a picture in a photo album. B DID NOT walk away gasping and rolling her eyes and saying, "seriously jada. come on."

brooke DID NOT pull papa {my daddy} on the dance floor and say, "i need my man to dance. come on."
paige DID NOT say this week, "oh my gosh, mom. he's such a geek. he wears a watch. who does that?" ummmm...ur dad for one!

i was NOT talking about honesty with my friend on the phone in the hooptie on thursday saying we should be honest with a man on the street, with people in authority...everyone. brooke DID NOT pop up in the back seat and say, "yep, especially jesus. he wants us to be honest too. and josh...paige's boyfriend. him too."
i DID NOT get mck mama's "this sucks" about stellan being back in the PICU on saturday...i DID NOT pray for the suckies to go away and for some peace to come in...and you def should too! go visit her and pray.

I will be praying for Stellan. Poor Baby has been through so much.
I love that Paige said that about the watch. I was just thinking about that last week and how noone wears them anymore...but my dad still does.

Love, love, love visiting your site. Always helps me to "exhale." Does that even make sense?

Terrible news about baby Stellan. I saw the updates on Twitter this morning. Really breaks my heart.

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......

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...

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...
