not me monday

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

i DID NOT pie the assistant high school principal on thursday night at the hs.  paige DID NOT have the winning ticket and flip out then refuse to go up and pie mr naas. i DID NOT take one for the kid...i DID NOT feel like a weirdo, but i DID NOT have a blast doing it!

i DID NOT blog every single week day this last week and i AM NOT sooooo glad to be reconnecting with my bloggy friends and fam.

i DID NOT unclog 2 toilets in 5 minutes this week.  i DID NOT think that having girls would be better in this arena than having boys, but apparently 3 and 5 year old girls do NOT have the craziest poo instances in the world!

sofia

brooke's urinalysis DID NOT come back completely clear with no traces of e coli or any bacteria for the first time in almost 2 years!  we are NOT ever so grateful for that progress.

i DID NOT teach anchorsaway...a super awesome program for hs seniors going out into the world about their faith in God and in the Bible.  i am NOT ever so blessed to have like 30 more students in my life.  wow.

jadajpg

i DID NOT fix the most amazing meal eva...that required absolutely dump and run...and the fam was NOT amazed at my talent!  it's like walking tacos in a flour shell, so i call them "sitting enchildas".  post to follow soon.

sofia DID NOT jump up on stage at the rock, our hs ministry house, and start teaching to the hs students on friday this last week.  she DID NOT say, "jesus is fun. he loves us.  jesus is a shotty."

sofia preaching

i DID NOT sit in paige's truck while she was scraping off the snow and ice...i DID NOT do it with a smile and in the heat.  it was NOT awesome!

sofia DID NOT poop in her diaper...take the poo out of her diaper and dump it in the toilet.  she DID NOT miss a big wad of a piece on the floor in her room...which she DID NOT step in and then proceed to smear off the bottom of her foot all over the wood floor.  i DID NOT walk in to see her with a wad of poo in her hand saying "look mommy, i helping you clean up."  i DO NOT love bleach...and hate that poo still is an issue in my life.

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.....
