8:16 Go into my room and change into MY pj's. Try to decide what I am going to blog about. I feel like I was so busy, I didn't take the time I needed to really find the humor, beauty, love, silliness, etc. in the day
After the house is quiet and it's starting to feel like I have a light at the end of the tunnel (or day, however you want to look at it), Hubs and I chat. He casually mentions something to the tune of how I had just "coasted through the night".
Coasting.
That sounds just lovely.
I'll have to see if I can squeeze some "coasting" time in tomorrow.
