Election Day Thoughts

My Election Day thoughts are completely unpolitical.  I don’t really do politics.

Election Day means school is out and school conferences and my niece Campbell hanging out and me still hating the dreaded fall back time change which has caused all of our children to awake at promptly 6am.  I really wish Election Day contained a nap.

Who knew strep throat could cause severe asthma attacks.  I learn something new all the time from my allergy kid.  Currently Hudson is heavy on the breathing treatments and amoxicillin.  Anyone else grow up calling this the bubble gum medicine?!?!

Pretty pumped for Full Count’s celebration banquet this Thursday night.  It’s their main fundraiser and it’s always a blast to be with friends.  This ministry is so important and just invaluable to our family.  You can learn more about what Full Count does HERE.  And you can help by making a tax deductible donation to further this ministry’s reach HERE.  Perfect end of the year donation 🙂

November 1st we kicked off our traditional thank you leaves.  Each day a Kelley kid takes their turn giving me something they are thankful for and the leaves adorn our chalkboard.  I kind of love that Hudson chose Grammy to be thankful for.  Makes me melt a bit.

Yesterday evening while I was folding towels in our bedroom Amon took it upon himself to draw all over our couch with a dry erase marker.  I may have lost my !@%*.  Not our new, sweet “I’m in love with you and want to make out” couch.  It was so bad Harper wrote an apology note on behalf of Amon.  The picture below is after I scrubbed and scrubbed…Harper came over to me and said, “Mom, do you think it looks better or worse now?”  Hahahahaha.  I am happy and relieved to tell you cold water got it all out.  I was shocked.

TOMs are my winter shoes.  I have about 6 pairs of shoes total…running shoes are my year round shoes…flip flops are spring, summer and early fall…TOMs are for winter.  It’s just how I roll.  As I slipped on my TOMs the other day…on the first really cold day here in Tennessee, Josh Kelley replied, “Oh, breaking out the winter shoes.”

 And tonight I am excited to report I’m heading out for another birthday dinner.  You guys, everyone should have good friends and at least a week minimum to celebrate their birthday.  It should be a law.  I’m thinking it will be the perfect end to this Election Day!

Happy Tuesday.
