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."

I always love your Not Me Monday posts! Your kids are pretty resourceful! I would've totally been ready for Brooke to pull me around the neighborhood!

Hooray (and congrats!) for the year round travel softball!

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......

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...

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...
