It has just been one of those days. You know the days. The world seems a bit too big and I can feel my anxiety creeping in and getting comfortable. Just one of those days.
Yesterday we had officially been waiting 17 months for our sweet boy. Today is suppose to be a giveaway day, but alas, there the 15th paper sits and my brain is just not thinking and my hands just aren’t creating. So the giveaway will be sometime this week…hopefully tomorrow, but I’m cutting myself some slack today.
The wee Kelleys are all down for naps/quiet times and I am enjoying this. It’s so wrong and yet, so right 🙂
My best friend Ashley made an unexpected trip to Tennessee. She is a sight for my sore eyes. She is so lovely!
Josh was driving back in from out of town last night and Ashley was keeping the kids and I company. We ate Mexican for dinner. 5 orders of beans and rice may not be quite right.
As I walked out of Harper’s room for quiet time today, I noticed one of her mini-Barbie dolls was saluting. I think she was saluting me. Maybe she was saying, “Kudos Laura. You made it to nap time.” 🙂
And now I’m off to either
A) take a nap
OR
B) Create our 17 months giveaway canvas.
I’m thinking my inspiration should be, “My grace is sufficient for you…” 2Cor. 12:9
Here’s to a better Monday!

It is A-OK to have one of these days- we all do. Let yourself have it, and either pick yourself up, or succumb for just one day. I love your blog and enjoy reading about your family. Even simple posts like today. They just make your family that much more real and likable. It’s a beautiful day here in the Carolinas. Great for working in the garden and napping- both of which I hope to spend a little time doing today.
I love the Corinthians theme. It’s a good reminder to see on a regular basis.
Hope you get to feeling better soon!
my vote is take a nap!!!! you deserve it for sure! Oh and great reminder …His grace is sufficient for you!!!!
Be kind to yourself, sweet Laura! I hope the end of naptime finds you refreshed & rejuvenated. And, if not…another coke & cadbury egg…stat! 🙂
Oh, and {re: Barbie’s salute} I love how you are still witty & quirky & adorable on your bad days. Congrats on making it to naptime, indeed!
I do hope you took the nap….some days our bodies truly need the extra rest.
Love your choice of a snack…..same as my choice on the Monday after Easter!
Take care of you…
Do what you know you need the most, Laura. Only you can know that. Neither choice is wrong. You have to take special care of yourself during this hard season in your life. Hugs and prayers!!!
That scripture has ministered to me in dark times years ago. I think it is an excellent choice!
Coke and a Cadbury egg…I think you’ve invented the perfect snack! Enjoy your nap! 🙂
Praying for you, Laura. We’re 10 months behind you in waiting and I truly admire your strength to just get out of bed. Some days the longing for our little one is so strong that I ache inside and out. I’m praying with you and proclaiming for you that we will not see an 18 month waiting giveaway.
XOXO
