"Is she breathing?"

I slept with my niece Ellie and she was having repeated nightmare or something and would scream every 45 minutes. I would wake up in fear wondering is she was choking or can't breathe etc... I couldn't sleep because I was freaking out for her. I don't think I'm cut out to be a parent. My heart's too frail for such things. In the morning I made waffles for everyone and it was quite a hit. They ate it all up and asked for 2nds and 3rds. Everyone went to play ball again and I stayed back and took a nap and catch up on the sleep I didn't have. Then we played more wii.
