need the beach...

someone needs to send an alert to the weather dude that it's MAY!!!
we have been freezing our booty's off here in good old indiana...it's so bad that sofia walked up to the cadillac today and said, "momma, get in cad-oh-wak and go to floor-ee-duh now, please."  it's that bad...we need some sunshine bc we are starting to lose it here.







my gift to you today is some florida sun...via our vacation last month.
if i close my eyes, i can still hear the waves...if i could just jump in the cadillac and drive there now.  hmmmm....maybe?

Oh i hear ya! It's been really chilly in PA as well and now we'll be heading west into colder weather... (what were we thinking???? ACK!)
Sigh. Now this vacation really looks lovely. I can see how you would be tempted to return.

I've been daydreaming about family get aways lately. OK if I use your images in my head? :)

Beautiful photos! I always wonder what it would be like to spend time on your kind of beach. So different from ours.

Have a great day!

Okay, so maybe I missed the Indiana part. hee hee

Anyways, we are feeling the same thing here in California. We keep jumping from 80's and sun to 50's and rain. What's up with this weather??? Like you said, It's MAY!!! I'm just praying that my daughter's birthday party next weekend is hot and sunny cause apparently this coming weekend it's supposed to maybe rain...again. Weird!

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.....
