There when it counts

A few nights ago Graham woke up in the middle of the night because he had a bad dream.  I gave him a hug then put him back in bed.  He came back a little later I think this time for a huge but I could be wrong.  Then Caroline woke up from a bad dream too.  It was not the most restful night for me.  And to top it off Shawn wakes me up almost every morning when he gets ready for work, which is WAY to early for me.  He asked me how I slept I told him how the night went and he said, "Wow I'm really not very helpful during the night am I?"  And in my nicest voice I said, "No you're completely useless."  And I"m ok with that because he's been able to somehow keep me sane for the past nine years and that is quite a feat, so I"m ok with him sleeping through the kids, he's there when it counts.
