Rough Morning

As some of you know, I am back in school. This is my last week of the semester and I have an essay due today.  I have been slowly working on in over the past few days, but just finished it last night. Or should I say this morning at 1:00am!!  My sweet husband Sean was so kind to help me by proof reading it and giving some advice on stuff.  I was very grateful for that. I am also grateful for his ability to get up when his alarm goes off or when he needs to.  My alarms never went off this morning but Sean helped me get out of bed.  It was extra hard today since I had gone to bed so late.  I was moving rather slow this morning but felt that I would still be able to get myself ready and Owen and out the door on time, so I told Sean to just go to bed (he works night shift and sleeps during the day).  Well Owen woke up in a wonderful mood.  He was ready for the day to begin.  However, he woke up rather late in the morning, which means his morning was going to be cut very short.  He was very good for me the whole 15 minutes we were downstairs, but then when I asked him to get his jacket on so we could leave, his happy face turned up side down!  He was so mad and ran away from me.  I was ignoring this, hoping that he would calm down and come to the car with me.  But no, this episode dragged on for another 15 minutes, and when I realized what time it was I knew I wasn't going to make it to work on time if I took Owen to school also.  So, I woke up Sean. :-(  I felt so bad because I told him that I was going to be able to do everything.  He is so wonderful to me and I just wanted to post this.  He didn't come down upset or anything, even though I know that he had been trying to sleep and was super tired.  He just calmly got Owen calmed down, gave me a kiss so I could leave (and try to get to work on time), and he took care of getting Owen to school.  I don't know what I'd do without him.  He really makes my life so much easier and better and I am so grateful for him.  He has developed so much patience and is always willing to help me with stuff that I know he really doesn't want to (like the dishes, or bathing Owen, or finding my phone for me when we're already in bed).  Even though this morning was rough and I was late for work, my Sean always makes things better with the little things he does for me.
