Working on Capitol Hill, my husband was under constant pressure.

After one late-night session, he came home exhausted and went straight to bed. When I turned out the light, he sat up in a panic. "Is everything okay in the house?" he asked.

"Yes, honey," I answered. "I locked the doors and turned down the heat."

"That's good," he said, lying back down, his eyelids heavy. "What about the Senate?"
