not me monday

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

brooke DID NOT ask me in the car if babies come out of mom's butts. 
me: 'p, jk and s were all born out of their bmoms bellies. 
b: 'Where was I? Was it a butt?'  
me: 'no b, you were born in brit's birth canal.' 
b DID NOT say 'i'm so glad bc being born out of a butt is just plain gross!'

the girlies were NOT out in the back yard with neighbor girls and were NOT convinced that a frozen tree monkey was on our back tree in the midwest.  ryan DID NOT go to check things out...to NOT find out that it was a seeping tree knot.

ryan DID NOT ask "do u girls remember what jesus did in last nights reading? he turned something into something." 
brooke DID NOT say: "oh, water into beer!"

i DID NOT get starbucks and leave out the donut for sofia...to which sofia DID NOT say "hey! where is my donut!" when i broke the news, she DID NOT chuck her tinkerbell at my venti saying, "no mommy!". someone is NOT spoiled on starbucks!

nana DID NOT come over and ask sofia how things were going.  sofia DID NOT say, "daddy home and I in trouble.' 
nana DID NOT say, 'oh, why?' 
sofia DID NOT say: 'i have at-tude and time out'

jada was NOT playing 'chef'. when she asked me my order, i DID NOT ask for a cheeseburger. jada DID NOT say, 'um we don't have that kind of food. we have good food.'

we DID NOT discover that when java digs a huge hole in the hot tub cover, she will also poop styrofoam in her poop.

me, ryan and p are NOT going to bigstuf, a high school week of worship, refueling and fun.  we are NOT so excited to spend time on panama city beach...despite the terrible ick that bp has put there.

I think your story about Sofia being spoiled on Starbucks was my favorite. Such a great one. Something very similar happened with me and my boy last week.

Made me laugh out loud!

I had a student at school once say to another teacher (about me), "Man, I feel sorry for her because that baby is going to come out of her butt and it's going to HURT!"

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......

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...

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...
