not me monday

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

i DID NOT develop some weird allergic reaction to the cpap facemask on my nose and cheeks after 3 days. i DO NOT look like a acne faced zombie even without the dumb mask on!
jada DID NOT have an absolute fit ont he soccer field saturday when it was NOT 53 degrees and 20 mph winds when i put her coat under her uniform to play...apparently, jada is NOT a conformist bc she DID NOT ask for the coat to be taken off bc no one else had their coat on.
me and the fam DID NOT drive 2 hours to ikea on saturday...we DID NOT have a total blast and get some new set ups for the play room and office!

i DID NOT disappear from blogland for 4 days and have peeps flipping out...turns out ikea is NOT a distraction!
my paiger DID NOT design her high school class ring...and i DID NOT love helping her. i DID NOT think about how lucky i am that she DID NOT want me to do that with her.

sofia DID NOT jump into the display window at the children's place on monday while we were leaving the store. she DID NOT laugh all the way to the end of the window where i couldn't get her, then sit down and cackle!!
molly {my bff's kiddo} DID NOT call me out on saying "shut up" about everything. she DID NOT tell karen that it was probably ok since i didn't tell the girlies to shut up, just said shut up...she DID NOT smack me down.

IKEA can suck you in just like Wal-Mart can. The difference being, IKEA is a welcoming kind of suck and Wal-Mart isn't so much.

Oh my word...I love Ikea. I was wondering where you went. Sofia in the window of CP, that is too cute. She is such a doll.
I have NEVER been to an ikea! I don't even know where the closest one is.

It is SO dangerous to live anywhere within driving distance of IKEA!! I live about 30 minutes from the one here. I go at least once a month and walk out broke...

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
