With one boy, far off and away at college, and another one who stays out late, I always keep my phone by my bed — on. I never know what I might be called upon on those late night hours of sleep. Â There are those rare occasions when I a truly needed for something that can’t wait till morning — maybe once or twice — “Mom, I can’t stop coughing, and I can’t get to sleep,” and another time, “Mom, the doors are locked — can you let me in.”
Still, as infrequently as it happens, I like to keep my phone by my bed — on.
But tonight, and for the next three, I have the blissful opportunity to sleep with  my phone off.  All of us are sleeping under the same roof
My total favorite…when all of my people are gathered under one roof.
