not me monday

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

baby jordan {b's birth bro} DID NOT poop in brit's hand while i was doing his photo shoot saturday.  he DID NOT proceed to pee TWICE all over the place either.
brooke DID NOT come and stand next to me at the end of the day, after the birthday party and say, "mom, i really loved the party and thanks.  dad said i had to come and say this and i was just trying to go to the bathroom.  so thanks, mom."

paige DID NOT harf her entire freezie drink right in front of her boyfriend on friday night...3 times!  she DID NOT have to miss the first day of travel tryouts on a team bc she was still harfing!!

brooke's birthday party was NOT simply a time for her friends to get together, play with zeus and each other, run around and scream and just be kids.  they DID NOT follow that chaos up by nailing a pinata with a broom handle and scavenging like wolves for the prizes inside.

sofia DID NOT come into our bedroom on friday night saying, "i am big girl. i eat food. drink juice. jordan...he a baby.  he can't eat real food."  it was NOT 12:30am when she had this revelation...

i DID NOT do the one thing a photographer NEVER does...i DID NOT delete a flash card without checking to make sure all the pics were downloaded.  i DID NOT delete all of b's birthday pics like a loser mom and NOT a pro photographer.  i {hubs} DID NOT have to do a file recovery and the files are NOT just fine now on the computer.  i am NOT an absolute idiot.

i DID NOT drive by "mr dan's hot dogs" and have a total flashback to childhood. i DID NOT text my dad and ask if we ate there to find out that we did...and dan DID NOT change the name in the 70s from gay dan's to his new name.  i DO NOT think he made a really good decision on that change.

jada DID NOT say "i really just need to do this alone with you, mom. i really think sofia just doesn't get it sometimes."

i DID NOT do a 3 hour a photo shoot in 100 degree weather of one of the cutest, sweetest girls ever! in spite of the heat, it was NOT one of the best shoots ever.
brooke DID NOT say to me, "jordan and i have even have the same looking breasts mom. that's amazing.  he's a boy and i'm a girl."  i DID NOT gaze into the sky thinking i had no idea what to say.

sofia DID NOT say "daddy, you the big daddy here" to hubs on sunday.  hubs DID NOT get a huge smile on his face on that one.

Sounds like it was a full weekend as always! And, full of bodily fluids just like any fun family!

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.....
