not me monday

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

hubs and i DID NOT work at after prom until 3:30am doing sumo wrestling and bungee races.  we DID NOT try them ourselves...and we DID NOT have a super fun time!
paige's quote of the day on saturday was NOT "that's not a nut, it's a pistachio."  how does that girl make straight a's??

i DID NOT work coat check at an event with my girlfriend, stacy, on friday night.  we DID NOT have a total blast chatting it up and hanging out...eating the leftover food from the event that was way better than what we cooked for our fams.  we also DID NOT get paid for eating dinner and talking...wow!

paige DID NOT get nominated for elite athlete of the year for high honors and athletics.  she DID NOT tell me that i was not allowed to come to the ceremony during the school day bc i was "too embarrassing" and "not a big deal".

we DID NOT make it to the park more than a few times this last week...and sofia DID NOT have a blast doing the huge slides and falling right off the ends!
jada DID NOT say to me, 'my heart is saying "I really need chicken nuggets...we should def listen.'

sof DID NOT try to spit on the grass...when she couldn't get it to work out, she DID NOT reach in her mouth, grabbed spit and wip it on the grass. yummy.

brooke DID NOT tell her teacher, "we don't like those school pictures. my mom is ab-tographer and hers are way better."
brooke DID NOT do her part on earth day...she DID NOT tells m 'I totally helped save the earth, mom. I saw trash and I picked it up and gave it to my teacher to throw away.' almost.

The sumo suits are so much fun!!! My hubby and I worked post prom this weekend also and we were in charge of the velcro stickem wall.... they had to put on a velcro suit and run, jump and stick to the wall. We played on it to the point of exhaustion before the kids ever arrived :) SOOOOO much fun! Love that in our state parents still put on the post prom for the kids and we know they are safe. Take care! I enjoy reading your post!!!!

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......

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...

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...
