not me monday

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

b and jk DID NOT have a softball game on saturday morning in 40 degree weather with a 25 mph wind.  brooke DID NOT beg the entire game to please sit in the car and just watch the game and cheer.  jada DID NOT just cry and shake in her 4 layers of clothes saying constantly, "i'm freezing. i want to go home."

i DID NOT read the clock an hour wrong and leave jada at school.  i DID NOT get a sweet phone call from the teacher saying she was in the classroom eating some snacks with them.  i DID NOT wonder why there was early release...and i DID NOT almost pass out when i realized i was an hour off!  jada DID NOT wave and smile when i came to pick her up saying, "mommy, would you like some goldfish too?"

paige and jk and i DID NOT go out on a date to subway this week.  knowing we were tight on our food budget, paige DID NOT buy 3 cookies to share with jada on her very own.

paige DID NOT get nominated for student elite scholar athlete of the year and have her banquet this week. she DID NOT earn a patch for her letter jacket that we have yet to purchase bc she's NOT a freshman, lettering varsity in softball.  we are NOT proud of her!

brooke was NOT sick 5 days this last week with some weird, out of the blue flu like sickness.  we are NOT glad to see her getting back to herself for a while.

sofia is NOT on a new cleaning kick where everything is "nasty".  she DOES NOT grab wet wipes and wipe everything in sight, singing "clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere!"  we do NOT think it's super cute and pretty awesome.

paige WAS NOT my assistant on a photo shoot yesterday...and it was NOT fun!

i DID NOT have a crazy week with sick kids, softball and life.  i am NOT glad that in spite of it all that the fam still has each other and we are still going...and when things are tough that you can always count on starbucks and twitter.

When my husband called me frantic at work because our 2 year old was throwing a royal fit and he was at a loss for what to do, I DID NOT tell him to just put in a movie and give him some candy.

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......
