not me monday

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

i DID NOT schedule my hs small group girls outing sunday for pizza and bowling to only find out that there is a bowling league on sunday's.  nope...not me.  i'm a good leader.  an experienced leader and that means i would def check those types of things first.

while eating pizza with my hs girlies, alicia DID NOT say, "i can't whistle."  brooke DID NOT respond, "if  you lose a tooth you can!"

jada DID NOT ask me "mom, can you walk on water?" i DID NOT say, "what do you think?" jada DID NOT respond, "i think you can, mom."  i DID NOT think that for one split that she thought i was uber powerful...turns out she DID NOT think that standing IN water was the same as walking ON IT.  oh well. i was NOT disappointed.

jada DID NOT say,  'i watched where i was in the parking lot...and it was so I didn't die.'

I did not get ink from the printer cartridge on my hands then make a one side mustache on my face...and p did not laugh.

paige DID NOT bring a bug in a cup she'd captured 2 show me in my room. she DID NOT notice when going to flush the little guy that he was...gone. i DID NOT have the joy of knowing i was not alone in my room that night...

i DID NOT have fab lunch plans set up with my bloggy friend, pam ag, on thursday...and we DID NOT discover that we totally had the date wrong.  we DID NOT have to reschedule our time for today...at the cheesecake factory for fab desserts!  and i will NOT be blogging it later!

i DID NOT keep my sitter for the faux bloggy lunch and just go and be alone. i DID NOT go and just be alone...get starbucks {of course}, spend time shopping and looking and very little buying.  i DID NOT go eat lunch alone at my fav fish market...eating fresh fish and iced tea and a fab salad.  i was NOT uber satisfied...and i DID NOT find a small bit of my sanity in the whole process.
paige DID NOT get home late on friday bc there was NOT a girl beating the snot out of a boy saying mean and viscious things...ON THE BUS.  i am NOT amazed that girls have become such interesting fighters...taking the effort to smash a boys head into the floor with her foot.

i DID NOT go to a super fab surprise bday party for kristin's #13!!!  we DID NOT have a total blast...and when we all do NOT recover, i will NOT have pics up on how to have a super fab and awesome party on a budget.

hubs DID NOT overt the massive east coast snow storm on thursday by jumping an earlier flight and barely making it out of philly.  i was NOT jumping for joy that he was going to make it home...and brooke was NOT elated that he would be here for the 3 piggy opera she was in at school friday morn.
sofia DID NOT learn "jada mean to me mommy" and is NOT using it for every single thing that doesn't go her way!!

i am NOT too tired from soooo much stuff from the weekend to get the new pics up on this post right now.  i would NOT ever use old pics of my kiddos so i could drink my coffee faster.  i will NOT get it done some time today...but it will def NOT be after lots of coffee. :)

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
