Currently {Monday Night Edition}

Listening:  Silence.  It’s actually 10 o’clock on Monday night, but this will publish Tuesday morning.  Josh Kelley is already asleep which is unheard of, but my brain will not turn off so here I sit…alone…in the dark…in the silence.  It’s a little eery and yet not.

Eating:  Nothing.  Again 10pm.  I did however make a million white chocolate chip brownies this morning.  Super easy…mix up your favorite chocolate brownies and then throw in white chocolate chips.  When you give things titles with capitalized letters like White Chocolate Chip Brownies they sound way more fancier and profesh than they really are.  Try it…you’ll see.

Drinking:  Water.  All day, err day.  I recently left my water bottle at a friends house and it seriously threw me totally out of whack until I got it back.  So weird.  I’m clearly not a normal functioning human.

Wearing:  Pjs.  AKA the same shirt I wore all day and sweats pants.

Laura Kelley Fun Fact #56:  I have no PJ shirts.  The tee I wear that day is 99.9% likely to be the shirt I sleep in.  And because I only wear tees this is actually more like 100% likely.

Feeling:  A tad overwhelmed.  School gets out Wednesday and sometimes I just let life kind of take over and I forget to ask God to keep the peace in my head and heart.  My mind won’t quit tonight because I just have this overwhelmed/anxious feeling from all the feelings.  I keep taking deep breaths and counting to 4 (like I saw on Sesame Street this morning.  No lie.  I figured it was worth a shot) and telling God to take it all.

Weather: It rained all day and was just the perfect temp for capri sweats, a tee and cardi.

Wanting:  A home renovation in certain areas of our house 🙂  Our house is really old.  And we’ve lived here almost 10 years and have only replaced floors.  Sometimes we feel like it’s starting to fall apart on us…broken kitchen cabinets and drawers, tub that won’t hold water, broken tiles, etc etc etc.  This morning our sweet plumber came and fixed not one, but two toilets and our kitchen sink.  I wanted to grab him around the waist and give him a giant bear hug.  I wish you could have seen the lego contraption he pulled from the boys toilet…we thought for sure it was clogged by a Luke Skywalker action figure.  Turns out Luke made his way all the way through, but the giant lego contraption Amon flushed did not.  It made my day.  So even though I would love for some other things to be fixed and maybe Ty Pennington to come swooping in for an easy and quick overhaul, I’m so grateful…grateful for this house and the people who fill it to the brim.

Needing:  This shirt.  It’s so true.

And this is what it looks like when I do a workout at home.  Cracks. Me. Up.  They are all going to be jacked by August.

Thinking:  About how I probably need  to sell our David Gray tickets at Fontanel in June.  I realized tonight David wasn’t the best choice in celebrating the big 12 year anniversary with Josh Kelley.  He’s not a David Gray fan and even though he’d never say “let’s not go” when he thought I really wanted to go, I realize now I pretty much twisted his arm into going.  I know I can figure out a better way to celebrate with him.

Enjoying:  Reading all your The Gifter Project stories.  Thank you so much for sharing your important humans with us.  Your stories are important and valued and I just feel so honored you would share a piece of them with us.  We have not started sifting and getting ideas together just yet.  We finish up school this week and then we’re going to get down to the free art making.  I can’t wait.

Here’s to Tuesday morning…even though I’m writing this late Monday night!

Happy Tuesday people!
