I sleep with the tv on when my husband is deployed. When he's home and i wake up to one of my kids coughing or talking in their sleep, my husband is very supportive and let's me wake him up. He listens with me for a few minutes and is very good about reassuring me the kids are fine.

Most unusual habit, I don't eat or drink anything when im feeling anxious, or when I'm in a situation where I can't readily reach a bathroom to be sick in. I can't v* in a bucket...hence, I dont go out much during flu season. One thing I don't like is when I do make it out for the evening with friends and someone is complaining of stomach pains, etc, I get silent and the night is ruined...if we've been at a bar and I've been drinking, I get immediately sober and I just want to go home. None of these are really all that unusual, but i think having kids helps honestly...i know I have to be in control of myself when my husband is gone incase, god forbid, one of my kids gets sick. When he's gone, I don't sleep hardly at all for fear the kids will wake in the night and be sick. Good question!
