not me monday

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

sofia DID NOT make "bucks" coffee for us with her tea pot after dinner. she is def NOT a girl after my own heart.
brooke DID NOT say, "wow mom, be careful when you make turns. that one just about killed my n*uts." after i DID NOT almost wreck the car, i said, "what are your n*uts?" brooke DID NOT reply, "you know, the body part next to my bottom. logan said he got hit in the n*uts at the bus stop. i think my nuts hurt."
i DID NOT try to get paige to take it, but ended up being the responsible parent and say it was "not a bad word but not a nice word."

jada DID NOT play the leapster under the couch in the office to have uninterrupted and unchallenged play time with b and s. she is NOT pretty smart to head to the lowlands for quiet time.
brooke DID NOT sneak so many sweets at the mc fam christmas party that she had to ride home with a puke pan on her lap "just in case".

i DID NOT workout like a dog again this week to keep this overweight bod reducing weight...i DID NOT got to the gym twice one day and burn 1100 calories!!! i'm NOT kinda proud of myself.

i DID NOT take my hs girls bible study and my 3 other girlies caroling to the elderly in the 20 degree snowy weather on wednesday night. we DID NOT fill many hearts with joy and recieve so much more in return by just giving. brooke DID NOT tell nana that we "went and sang to a bunch of old people at their houses and the smiled and cried and some of them even hugged us."i DID NOT take b with me to get one last gift for jada...the princess tiana doll. brooke DID NOT proceed to take jada to the exact place where i put it for safe keeping and show her. i DID NOT find both of them giggling in my closet, door closed and lights on, with excitement trying to figure out how they could play with tiana in the box.

we DID NOT have a santa sighting at mc d's this week while eating lunch. apparently, santa loves big macs and cowboy boots...

i DID NOT love driving 45 minutes to my bff's house on saturday morn to grab b after a sleep over. i DID NOT sit in silience for 29 minutes then listen to fab worship music the remainder of the time. i DID NOT enjoy the alone and quiet time. at all.
i DID NOT ask brooke if she had a hollow leg to put all the food in that she was eating. b DID NOT reply, "no mom, i just poop it right out when my body is done with it." good news, i suppose.

when i asked b in the target restroom, "b are you ok?" she DID NOT answer, "yep. just wiping my butt. oops. did i just say that out loud? sorry mom. that was pretty rude."

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...

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......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
