It was worth it

Well, I could have predicted this....but last nite with the upstairs of the house feeling like a wet wool sock...the girls couldn't sleep. So, as i lay motionless in bed at 12:30 as the slightest movement stings with my sunburn...i look up and see shelly staring at me asking if she can come into bed with me cause her room is too hot.

I wasn't going to fight it...not in these conditions, so i said "sure, come on in". So, i hear her go back to her room and turn off her closet light, which she keeps on...then i hear her go to the bathroom and then finally feel her jump into the other side of the bed.

I was laying there for a bit when all of a sudden i felt this little hand pry open the fingers of my hand and place itself into mine. It was shelly....i looked over at her and she had a big smile on her face and said "thank you daddy, i love you." Really was a sweet moment...Then of course 15 minutes later carly comes in and the next 45 minutes i hear the two of them fighting over who is stealing the blanket and who's leg is touching who's arm..etc...

so while the nite was uncomfortable to say the least...that little blurb from shelly made it worth it.

i'm goin home at 1..they are coming over to fix the AC....thankfully.
