not me monday

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

i DID NOT see the best "i'm an idiot don't date me" bumper sticker on a car. 'deer camp. big racks. wild tails." it DID NOT have the uber trashy lady silhouette.  and you guessed it, the car was NOT running on a donut.  NOT classy at all.

our AC is NOT out...and it is NOT almost 100 degrees here with 4000% humidity.  we are NOT boiling!!
we DID NOT have our summer college ministry kick off on saturday.  it was def NOT rocking and awesome.  joe banua and kyle DID NOT play the best worship music ever at the fire pit...we DID NOT worship the lord and just plain have fun!

sofia DID NOT say 'hear ice cream man with my head'...then grabbed her pixie. i DID NOT wonder if maybe she has radar with that pixie thing.

we DID NOT have an entire softball free weekend...and yes, we DID NOT make any plans :)

i DID NOT hang out with my girlfriend on friday night, have some wine and do girl time while the kiddos played and hubs watched espn.  turns out that is NOT the perfect night for us all!

b, jk and 2 friends were NOT playing nerf swords. sofia DID NOT say 'i wanna sword. fine. IIII have hat.' she DID NOT kick her feet, throw the hat and walk off proudly.

sofia DID NOT see the starbucks sign and say, "i wanna donut." when i said, "we are not going now", she  DID NOT say, "daddy needs his coffee.  we get daddy coffee."  i DID NOT think that was not only creative, but totally inspirational!

my high school girls bible study is NOT awesome and we DID NOT have a great week...and we DID NOT "ride the hasselhoff" just like spongebob.  yep, i know you do NOT wish you were totally as cool as us.

while watching the "mythbusters best of", hubs DID NOT say to brooke, "you can not do any of this, btw, to me or mom, or anyone else, just so you know."  i DID NOT giggle thinking that it should def go unsaid.
i am NOT pretty much at the end of my patience rope with the kids and them trashing everything, no matter what i do for punishment or praise.  i do NOT need a break for a few hours, but i do really, really love them all.

Take that break, girl, it will make you love them more! BTW, I did NOT just let my child eat just Cheetos for lunch.

Always fun to read, D! I tried my hand at a not-me-monday this week. Never as entertaining as yours and a few other's I read, but still fun. :)

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
