not me monday

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

brooke DID NOT have to go the ER saturday bc of a failed snowball fight involving neighborhood boys and a jump from the center island snow mountain. the bone is fine but b is NOT in a stabilizing brace to prevent injury and help her heal.
on the way home from the hair night, paige DID NOT have a panic attack when she couldn't locate her phone...that was NOT in her back pocket. we DID NOT laugh really hard...and i DID NOT totally make fun of her the rest of the way home.

hubs DID NOT lose it with the girlies not listening to him. i DID NOT get a little smiley knowing it wasn't just me, but sad that hubs had to feel the parenting grunt too.
we DID NOT lose our sled in the last snow storm...paige and i DID NOT drive to 4 stores looking for a replacement. i DID NOT call 14 other stores with no luck. it is NOT a geographical oddity that new sleds are to be found anywhere here...

we DID NOT cheer on our colts in the super bowl...we were NOT disappointed with the terrible calls and some stupid stuff. sad for the colts. happy for the saints and new orleans, and purdue boy, drew brees.
we DID NOT get 10 inches of snow in less than 10 hours on friday. the girlies DID NOT get plenty of snow time outside this weekend.

paige and i DID NOT go to the cheesecake factory and discover WAY too much food...and red velvet cheesecake. shut up!!!
paige and i DID NOT get fab new hair do's with fantastic color and cuts by one of the best former high school students...we are NOT really cute.

b, jk and s DID NOT have their cousin, shelby, over for the day on saturday...i DID NOT find them playing vet.
hubs DID NOT leave for paris {again} today...i am NOT stuck here at home with the same girlies who were not listening this week. we DO NOT miss hubs terribly when he's gone and pray for his safety...and my sanity!

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
