not me monday

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

brooke DID NOT have a crzy high fever with no other symptoms 4 days in a row after getting her h1n1 and seasonal flu shots. she DID NOT feel fine and then get the high fever again on sunday. i am NOT frustrated and am NOT going to the doctor today to check ears and bladders for infection. seriously!
i DID NOT get my very first studio lighting set to take indoor portraits this weekend. i am NOT jacked up and excited and have NOT asked my fam a million times to model for me...to which they DO NOT smirk.

sofia DID NOT learn a lesson about getting "free food" from the trash can this weekend when she discovered that although starbucks coffee grounds do smell good, they taste very nasty in your mouth.
we DID NOT party out on friday night...at the appliance store. oh yeah. we DO NOT know how to live the high life. i DID NOT tell the girlies that the movie they were playing was just for them...and totally kept them entertained while every salesmen in the store strongly avoided us bc we are loud and different. i still got my stinking freezer...a
nd i AM NOT jacked up!

sofia DID NOT think trick or treating was entirely lame until she
discovered that the strangers dressed freakishly in their homes were giving her suckers and popcorn. she DID NOT scream "popcorn. yeah" and run to the man!

sofia DID NOT wear paige's minnie mouse costume from when she was 2...and i DID NOT get a little teary eyed thinking it was just yesterday that she was minnie and now she's in high school, just a few steps to being an adult. but then i DID NOT eat a kit kit to soothe my pain away.
while at kindergarten drop off, i DID NOT ask brooke, "did you brush your teeth before school"...to which she DID NOT reply with a sneaky grin, "oh well, i just won't talk."

out of the clear blue, jada DID NOT say, "ok, i just have to say this. i. love. taco. bell."

i DID NOT get an hour of cardio at the vet's office...yes, the vet, not the gym, when i forgot the pinch collar for the 35 pound java...i DID NOT get drug all over where she wanted to go and see new people i'd never met before.
sofia DID NOT learn to speak in a few word sentences...by saying want green beans. well, the girl does NOT love her food and i DO NOT know where she gets that!

so tell me, what are a few things you DID NOT do this week?

Poor Brooke! I hope the doctor gives you some good news. Or good meds, whatever will make her feel better.

And tell Jada I. Love. Taco. Bell. Too!

It is so much fun to watch kids at sofies age 'get' trick or treating - I just loved it this weekend when little miss realized it was suckers and wanted to be right there with the big kids.

Hope you have a great week!

Ohhhhh - poor baby with the fever - I hope she's well now. Fevers freak me out. And seriously - KitKats make EVERYTHING better...but you have to have TWO snack sized ones for full healing.

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
