not me monday

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

at the park, b says 'hey mom, you have one of those cottonwood things in ur nose. wait...i'll get it.' she DID NOT proceed to stick her fingers up my nostril, grab something, wipe it on her shirt and say, "there we go. alright. got it."

paige DID NOT get her driver's permit on friday...life as i know it, has NOT changed.
paige and i DID NOT have to take shelter under a concession stand at the softball tourney this weekend while a tornado siren was NOT blaring at us.  

brooke DID NOT ask for yogurt raison snacks...i DID NOT tell her {outside} she could have only 10.  she DID NOT proceed to get an entire bowl and go to sit with brit {inside}...who DID NOT say, "aren't you suppose to only have 10? go put them up"  brooke DID NOT drop her mouth open in amazement that we were on the same page. birthmom and mom...unite!!!!!

sofia DID NOT collapse in hubs arms at the tournament on saturday...she was NOT the cutest thing ever.

the bmv lady DID NOT almost kill me when she DID NOT refuse to use my indiana vehicle registration {that the state issued only weeks earlier} for verification of address.  we DID NOT have to rush home and try to get a bill {way more legal, ha!!!} and get back tot he license branch.

oh, and the license branch DID NOT lock the door at exactly 5:01pm...we DID NOT have to come back the next morning to get that permit...
the next day, a different lady was working at check in and we DID NOT have a single issue and my information was not even needed.  i DO NOT loathe that woman for making me drag my kiddos to the license branch early in the morning bc she was on a stinking power trip!
sofia DID NOT play barista at starbucks, cleaning up the tables, singing "clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere..." and ending with "shake your booty.  it's my booty.  shake your booty." the barista's were NOT dying laughing and video taping her.  i am NOT seriously considering making her a barista apron!!

i DID NOT get a little silly with the bend-a-roos at the ball park and make sunglasses for sofia.
jada DID NOT get her hair done by me with some braids and twists and double strand twists on thursday...she DID NOT decide she would "redo" her hair with a comb on friday morning and rip out the hair on her sides.  i was NOT angry...and i have NOT refused to fix it to make a point.

jada and brooke DID NOT have their last softball game of the season saturday.  they DID NOT have a blast this season...brooke DID NOT slide to catch 5 balls int he infield in shorts!  and jada DID NOT pose for every single picture i took on the phone in and amongst all the "i don't want to's".

anything you and your fam DID NOT do this week???

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.....
