not me monday

a few things me and the fam DID NOT do the last TWO weeks...

we DID NOT have the worst flu ever in the  month of may in our house.  ryan DID NOT end up with strep and banned to the bedroom for 4 days straight. i DID NOT sleep in the basement to avoid the germies...

brooke DID NOT get a lapdesk for her artwork and writing things...she DID NOT take it to school to show her teacher and friends her "new briefcase".  she is NOT getting too big.

sofia DID NOT walk up to me with nasty  hands and say, "look mommy, doggie poopy. stinky, mommy. gross!"  she DID NOT continue to say, "stinky poopy taste yucky."  i DID NOT gag and start a bath!

i was NOT sick on monday...i DID NOT wake up to the messiest kitchen on the planet the next morning.  i was NOT angry or frustrated that a maid was NOT called in for back up.  i am NOT dreaming, btw.

jada DID NOT tell me this joke:
why did cinderella cross the road?
why?
because prince elvis was on the other side of the road, silly.

sofia DID NOT say to me the morning after i was sick, "starbucks mommy. donut for toe-pee (sofie). mommy get drink'.  that girl is NOT my bff and NOT on her a game even when she is sick.

hubs was NOT on a business trip in hollywood while me and the girlies were in good old indiana inthe rainy-ness...he was NOT getting pics and talking to joel mchale and the kardashians.  and omarosa DID NOT tell him he was "a very handsome and nice looking guy" and hand her booking card to him.  if she was NOT 7 feet tall, i would def NOT have to smack her face...

i DID NOT get to hang out with student impact hs kids on saturday night...i DID NOT get 4,362 mosquito bites...and almost burn kacie to death when dropped a log on the fire and embers flew.  i am NOT a much better "hang out leader" than a "fire keeper going-er leader".

hubs DID NOT tell me that the kardashian girls were really NOT pretty in person.  he also DID NOT say that the "tv is really good to them bc in person they are like 80's throwbacks that wouldn't even catch your eye."  i am NOT ever so grateful for a husband who knows when to make a wife feel like a million bucks...even when he lies a little about such things.

sofia DID NOT walk over to the cadillac, grab the handle and say, "get in cad-ah-wack and go to floor-ee-dah.  see mickey mouse again, mommy."  i do NOT wish it were that easy...

paige does NOT play in sectionals tonight...and she has NOT had a super fab year in varsity softball!

It sure sounds like you guys had a bad bug going through your house. I am so glad that its over. :)
Your family is so beautiful. I never tire of reading your stories or seeing their pictures. You can one lucky woman...even if the maid can't get her act together and be where she is needed most. :)

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
