not me monday

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

paige DID NOT get whistled at on her first day of school...to which she DID NOT reply, "well, that's one loser to mark off the list." that's my girl.

b DID NOT get her kindergarten shots the morning of school {yes...i waited that long}. she DID NOT look at the nurse after and say, "that was ridiculous. i can't believe other kids put up with this."
she also DID NOT tell me, "i am NOT doing this ever again. i'm dead serious. it's terrible. aaannnnnd. it hurts."i DID NOT stop 4 out of 5 days on the way to kindergarten drop off for a sippy sip...and i DID NOT get uber happy with each little sip i took. ahhhh.

when b opened her bday gifts from us, she DID NOT say, "mom, remember the present i found in your closet? well, i don't see it here. are you sure this is all of them?" hmmmm.sofia DID NOT get inside java's kennel this week and pant like a dog and then laugh hysterically at herself. already!
we DID NOT see a black van that totally looked like the a-team van on the way to church...ryan DID NOT start singing the a-team theme song...and naming off all the characters, totally embarrassing his children and making me NOT laugh!

i DID NOT flipping run 3 nights this last week...and i do NOT think it's totally unfair that i hate it but still want ice cream. i do NOT hate running....grrr.

sofia DID NOT learn to walk up the slide on the big playset this weekend...in her little tinyness!

we DID NOT have 3 {count them} parties for brooke's bday this last week...all of which were great...quick and easy.

when ryan inflated the bounce house, we DID NOT have kids flock to the back yard from what seemed miles away...there must have been a flare gun that shot off a signal that only kids could see.jada DID NOT tell our neighbor kid, "you are sooo hot"...and she also DID NOT get totally busted an put in time out. i wonder where she heard that? oh yeah, it def wasn't hubs telling me i'm hot...oh yes it was!!!

i DID NOT have to say a temporary good bye to my former high school kiddos that are off to college...all grown up and stuff!! what!!!??? i'm NOT sad, but def praying for them and their lives and decisions and well, their everything!

my high school girls bible study this week DID NOT turn into a bday party and love fest for brooke and ayla...fresh cookies were NOT baked at 10pm on a school night...and we DID NOT stay up late talking about life and giggling.

love the list! And holy cow, school already started? I cried the other night just thinking about it and we don't start until the 2nd.

Love that you got some yummy sips this week. I just about cried tears of happiness when I found a Starbuck's gift card in my purse this week. I REALLY needed it too!

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.

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
