Today is History

Today is history. For a second night in a row, I was not needed outisde the warmth of my bed between the hours of 9pm and 6am. Two nights in a row. That hasn't happened for almost a year and half. Incredible isn't it? The first night it happened, I thought I was going to be needed, the calling was there, but yet I waited. I waited about 10 minutes, when I started to tense thinking, well, we still made it until 3:30, that's not so bad I poised myself to climb out of the tangle of sheets,and all was quiet. So I wove my way back under the covers, snuggled down deep, closed my eyes... BUT I WAS SO EXCITED THAT IT TOOK ME ABOUT ANOTHER HALF HOUR TO GET BACK TO SLEEP!

Last night I was asleep by 9 -- it's going to take a long time for me to catch up on all of that sleep -- and, while I was up at 5:45, I had to wake Clara up at 6:45 to get ready for school. She fell asleep on my shoulder last night at 6:45 (we're still fighting some kind of illness...I just don't know what yet.), which means she slept 12 hours!

Breathe with me -- AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
