not me monday

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

i DID NOT drive in the driveway to find my sofia screaming "i naked, mommy" with the full moon showing.  hubs was NOT running around the corner of the house saying, "sofia, you may not be naked outside.  oh, hi honey."  we are NOT "those neighbors".
while riding in papa's "big truck", brooke DID NOT yell, "slow down papa on those turns.  i'm afraid i'm gonna my stinking pancreas for heaven's sake."

 jada DID NOT come running to hubs and say, 'guess what? brooke is letting ME clean her room! isn't that awesome?!'  we DO NOT have our very own tom sawyer in this house.
jada DID NOT go to the horse stable with her school. she DID NOT say "roland pooped on his bed where he sleeps. that's weird, mommy.  that's why I stopped!"

paige DID NOT have her first post-varsity high school softball tourney on her travel team this last weekend.  it was NOT blazing hot and humid on saturday and 67, windy and cold on sunday.  nothing like softball in indiana.

brooke DID NOT graduate from kindergarten with all her fav peeps by her side...me and hubs, brit, nana and papa and sisters.
paige DID NOT have 4 amazing catches in center field on sunday.

sof DID NOT say, "starbucks mommy. donut for toe-pee (sofie). mommy get drink'. i DO NOT love that my girlie has the same starbucks love as me!!!

i DID NOT log into blogger to find that it was NOT down.  i was NOT upset bc the kiddos were actually playing i could NOT actually blog for once!!!
jada just asked me 'why did cinderella cross the road?' 'Bc prince elvis was on the other side of the road, silly.'

brooke DID NOT say to me "thx turd ferguon. oops. thank you, mommy" with a big giggle.

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.....
