not me monday

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

we DID NOT wake up this morn to the years first snow...i DID NOT use it to get the girls moving quickly, wishing i could do that every morning for school!
hubs and i DID NOT go out on a date to see "men who stare at goats" and get sadly disappointed that most of the super hilarious scenes were in the previews. i DID NOT enjoy the movie and the time out in spite of it not being all we had expected.

i DID NOT hang out with my friend, karen, one day this week here at the house while the kids played. i DID NOT clean up the whole time she was here while we chatted and laughed and ate and just hang out! i DO NOT love that the lord provides me great friends, exactly when i need them!

paige DID NOT color my hair for me this weekend...although box said "warm blonde" i am def NOT a brunette...to which we DID NOT buy highlights to put in and make the best of it. it's not my fav, but well, it's not gray.
i DID NOT have 2 photo shoots this weekend, both with kids 4 and under...and both were NOT a total blast! the one shot was NOT with my kiddos and their cousin...and we DID NOT finally get 2 good shots after 7 minutes...the kids DID NOT totally get up and run in circles betweenmost of the shots.

i am NOT sitting with sofia, right now, alone in the house, just her and i, hanging out, watching her fav tv show, mickey mouse clubhouse...cuddling...and enjoying every single second of alone time with her...realizing it will end sooner than i could ever imagine.
brooke DID NOT go to aldi with me saturday night...and she DID NOT sneak an additional bag of carrots and an extra cucumber in the cart for her. crazy kid...what about cookies??

we DID NOT have to put an extra latch on the pantry door bc sofia and jada would not stay out of the goodies...paige, ryan and i have NOT tried endlessly to pull the door open to no avail since it was installed. guess it is NOT working...

i DID NOT see god work in some amazing ways this week...like my bff karen DID NOT get some new {to her} appliances that she desperately needed from another's kitchen redo...god DID NOT provide a stove when it was soo needed and throw in a little fun extras like a newer refrig and microwave! wooo hooo!

Love it! I'm sure your hair looks great! It's such a blessing to have great friends. Good for you! The pictures of your kiddos are beautiful, as usual.

God bless!

We got our first snow this morning too, but it didn't stick at all! I love snow, so I was a little sad.

Midget loves "Mih-tee Mouse Tuh-blouse!"

Pics of hair going to be up soon? C'mon! Even if you don't like it that much, you gotta share dangit!

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......

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...

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...
