A Bid Farewell

Today is the last day of 2012…part of me loves it and part of me hates it.  I always feel with a new year there are lots of new possibilities…the world at your finger tips…magic, but it’s also sad to let the first full year without my mom go.  I guess life is most definitely always full of these little catch 22s.

I’m sick…again…for reals.  Can’t believe it, but I’ve got some strong meds and maybe some whiskey to help ease the pain.  Ha.  I’ve spent most of the day in the bed, but did get out for a bit here and there to document our last day of 2012.

Krispy Kreme for breakfast.  This dozen didn’t have a chance in the Kelley house.

A morning game of checkers.  In the bed.

My bed side table.  The last part of December has not been kind to me.

Lunch of the sick.  Ramen noodles.  #thecollegeyears

Lots of book reading.  In bed.

Cutest little crib napper ever.  Rad.  Stellar.  Totally.  {Insert any other cool 90s adjectives}

Josh…the glue that holds this family together when sickness strikes.

Ringing in the New Year in the exact same clothing I’ve been wearing for 2 days now.  Maybe the New Year will bring on a change out of PJs and a pedicure.

Mischievous, funny, quirky, cute little brother boys.  In the bed.

Movie watching.

More attempted crawling.  With fabulous hair.

Getting outside for a much needed walk.

Chili…it’s whats for dinner.

Excited to start this little reading gem.  Plus a bit scared.

And most definitely…hands down…no contest…the best thing about 2012.  Our incredibly sweet ace of hearts.

Here’s to a New Year.  Here’s to 2013.  Now I need another nap.

Happy Monday.

  9. Ragamuffin Gospel is one if my favorite books of all time. Be prepared for your mind to be blown. I felt so much freedom and so much peace after reading that. From one ragamuffin to another…enjoy;)

  10. Here’s hoping 2013 brings a healthier Kelley fam and more love than you can imagine.

    You will love The Ragamuffin Gospel. I have read mine so often it’s worn out. But it is autographed 🙂 so I can’t part with it. He was even more awesome in person.

  11. Happy New Year! I understand your angst about the end/beginning of each year. I feel the same way. But I know God has lots of amazingness planned for 2013 and I’m looking forward to all of it! So sorry you’re sick again. We’re finally-finally-finally getting well! December was not kind to us. But now it’s January… 🙂 Feel better! Snuggle that cutest little baby – perfect mommy medicine!
