not me monday

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

brooke DID NOT hook a hook tie to the back of the barbie jeep and turn it into a power speed boat on land, pulling a skate board with neighbor kids at record speed.
i DID NOT make homemade blueberry jam this weekend...it DID NOT set up {seriously}, to which i am NOT angry. we will NOT be using it for pancake blueberry syrup...not me.

paige DID NOT make the year round travel softball team...and she is NOT happy to play some ball!

when p was upset about high school, b DID NOT say, "when i went to preschool and i was scared, i was ok, because i knew god was with me."

we DID NOT take java in the car to church and on to the fam reunion...to quickly discover she is NOT car sick. java DID NOT puke 3 times on the way to church...and i DID NOT get some dramamine for the rest of the ride.
ryan DID NOT lecture brooke and jada one night before bedtime with rules about making it easy for me to put them to bed...b DID NOT respond with "aye aye captain". {penguins anyone?}

i DID NOT ask jada if daddy got her powerade....she DID NOT reply, 'yep. he's a very good man.'

jada DID NOT pick out a hair style online for me to do on saturday night...and i DID NOT do a pretty good job of twists if i do say so myself...not bad for the first time.i DID NOT flip out when i couldn't tweet for 2 stinking days!!! what in the world!!! how was i to communicate my 150 letter thoughts??

brooke DID NOT say, "java...i saw you bite the other dog's butt. you can not do that."

me and hubs DID NOT move almost 1000 pounds of sandstone this week...and we are NOT aching a little..but marveling at the awesome landscaping!!! wooo hooo ryan!

brooke and jada DID NOT playing princess. b was getting married and telling jk {her prince}, "hey, my dress is touchign the floor. it cant' touch the floor. it's pee-pensive {expensive}. don't even ruin my dress. pick it up please. and for heavens sake, don't let it touch that dirty grass. there's probably dog poop around here. eeww. and a princess can not touch dog poop." i DID NOT die laughing...and think b is NOT gonna be a bridezilla for sure!jada DID NOT find some dog poop in the yard...she DID NOT say, "that probably came from a dog". yep...i have some real brainy kids sometimes.

jada was NOT playing outside for only a few minutes when she came in and DID NOT announce
, "mom, i despereately need chocolate."

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.
So, it's been a while since i posted...years, in fact.  I stumbled upon to an old post and thought, I need to write more.  So here we are now... My family looks completely different and times are different, but we are still just the same people.  We've added one...P got married 2 years ago and now we have A.  I will talk more about that later.  But isn't our pic soooo cute?   For now, life is crazy and wild and sometimes completely unpredictable, but we are still praying and playing together.  Ryan and I are on our 21st year of marriage (woot woot), and the kids are well, old!  P is 25 and happily married to A, and they are celebrating 2 years next month.   B is a junior,  has a job and is blowing our minds with all she is achieving in this world, and she's one of the funniest kids on the planet.  She's grown an amazing amount in all her therapies and in life in general...she's an advocate for all who struggle, and autism does not define her...she defines hersel
