not me monday

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

we DID NOT watch elf on monday night...and i DID NOT endlessly quote lines all week to the fam, who sadly, understood and laughed at them all.
hubs DID NOT forget to pick up brooke from school while i was at a dentist appoint. i DID NOT call and ask how his first kindergarten pick up went to hear him say, "w
hat you are talking about?" i DID NOT flip out a little {or a lot depending on who tells the st
ory} and ask where brooke was. he DID NOT say, "school, why?" i DID NOT ask why she wasn't picked up...he DID NOT say, "well, i forgot or well had the time wrong or something or...what do we do?" i DID NOT go right to the school while he called {and i'm sure blamed the whole thing on me}. i DID NOT find brooke sitting in the office, alone and scared and was NOT greeted by "all the other children got picked up and then, well, i didn't and had to come here. where was daddy?"
it was nothing that a little loving and a sucker couldn't handle...we were NOT more devastated about it than b was.
brooke DID NOT tell hubs that if he left her at school again she would NOT give him a big, fat wedgie. i DID NOT laugh and say that would be appropriate.

i DID NOT sit down and gasp out of a bit of exhaustion to rest while watching a little DVR...brooke DID NOT ask, "mom, would you like a soft, cuddly blanket?" that DID NOT totally make the exhaustion all worth it.
operation dentist DID NOT break up went well...i DID NOT love the ne
w guy. i DO NOT hope he's more than a rebound dentist...especially with all the work he has NOT already done!

we DID NOT get snow this week and bitter weather that DID NOT make me need the beach and sunshine wayyyyy more than usual.

me and hubs DID NOT meet up at the chiropractor on friday...and get a few extra minutes to grab a quick and unexpected bite to eat to noodles and company...for dessert, we DID NOT stop and get starbucks coffee...ahhhhh.

jada DID NOT get more excited than christmas morning when she awoke to some gifts wrapped and under the tree....she DID NOT almost cry when we told her it wasn't christmas morning yet.
brooke DID NOT wake up saturday morning with a ball of silly putty {green, in case you were wondering} in her hair and stuck to her shirt. i DID NOT spend almost an hour cleaning the hair out and give up on the shirt after only a few minutes.

sofia DID NOT start speaking in small sentences clearly this week..."i want that" "more juice please" and "shoes on now". a true woman already...she is NOT a lover of shoes!

paige and i DID NOT have a shopping afternoon finishing things up for the fam. we DID NOT have a lot of fun...even buying josh {the bf} his gifts for christmas from paige. i was NOT elated that paige needed to earn money to pay for them...and that meant i DID NOT watch the house getting dusted, etc! i DO NOT wish she needed money more often and she wasn't cheap like me. huuuuffff puffff.

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
