Down Time

This morning at 6am I laid awake in bed, staring at the ceiling amidst a stillness that is nothing short of rare and precious in a household of 6.  But me and my mouth, we couldn’t help but break the silence for my poor sleeping husband.  “I haven’t blogged in over 2 weeks. <sigh>  I […]
