Phone Calls in the Middle of the Night
So last night I got a call in the middle of the night, well early morning, but it felt like I had just fallen asleep. In general, as humans, I think it is instinctual to feel like someone is hurt or in trouble if we get a call in the middle of the night. However, when you are going through a deployment a phone call is worth it, even if it is in the middle of the night. On the other hand, that doesn't mean I'm comprehending much of the conversation when this happens. It doesn't help that my hubby is in the middle of his day and wide awake. And then trying to go back to sleep after the abrupt call is a whole other story. And to top it off, last night, my hubby asked me if everything was okay, if there was anything I needed. My mind was already muddled from being awaken from a deep sleep but my honest reply was that "Nathan is having some crying spells again but there isn't anything you can do about that." Anyways, I'll take phone calls whenever my hubby chooses to call me I just can't promise that I'll make much sense on the other side of the line in the middle of the night. Just hearing his voice makes me smile though so it's all worth it :)

Ha I'm the same way! Ricky has called a few times at 5 or 6 AM here. I typically don't remember much of the conversation but I'll take anything I can get.
