not me monday

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

the girlies had no trouble spending their v-day money from grandma and grandpa! their choices DID NOT make me laugh a little...and bring out their true loves. jada DID NOT buy nail polish and doritos. b DID NOT buy pet nursery for the d. and sofia DID NOT flip out over the new minnie mouse bow-tique dvd.

i DID NOT have the most awesome convo with jada this week...
jada: "isn't dad a total dork?"
me:"dad is smart and silly."
jada: "so yep, he's a dork."

i DID NOT get the new mini boden catalog this week and i have NOT been stinking drooling over the uber cuteness, wishing i was rich enough to dress the girlies in super fun clothes all the time.
i DID NOT have a girls night with my friends in kokomo making agape for an upcoming banquet...and i DID NOT love being surrounded by fab women who are not only fun and beautiful inside and out, but they are madly in love with their husbands and more importantly, jesus.
paige, brooke and i DID NOT make 6 blankets for project linus this weekend...more to come on this in a later post. but it was NOT great to do this with the girls and awesome that it totally helps little kiddos!
i DID NOT hear a very large thump from the bathroom. i DID NOT say, 'what was that?!'. it was NOT immediately followed by a giggle then brooke saying, 'I fell off the toilet.'...

hubs DID NOT ask jada to grab the wall charger for his computer out of the socket and hand it to him. jada DID NOT say, "i can not do that because if i touch an outlet, i will die. i mean, you were the one who told me that."
my fav brooke quote of the week was NOT 'tippy toes are very, very helpful.'

i am NOT in the midst of teenager angst right now with p. she is NOT dealing with something that is NOT maddening to hubs and me bc she is "doing it alone". we are NOT praying for her and standing on what we have taught her. i am NOT sad to see her sad so much...and i DO NOT loathe boys right now! loathe!

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
