My youngest daughter turned five yesterday. Gone are the days when I slave to clean house and decorate the perfect cake with frosting made from scratch and fret that my child isn't getting a blow-out bash like it seems every other child in her class gets every single year. Nope, I don't do that stuff anymore. Yesterday I spent a lot of time talking with Maggie about when she was in my belly and what it was like to hold her for the first time and how happy I am she's here. I didn't clean the house at all, let her direct me in where to place the store-bought decorations upon her cake, and took only one picture. The actual party lasted about 7.5 minutes, but she also got to tell us what to do all day, so I think she got her money's worth.
That was a lot of compound sentences. I'm too lazy to edit this morning. Sorry.
I was awakened this morning by a dream in which I was walking through a town at night, and someone was shining a light on me. I'd manage to get out of the light, but it found me again, and I got the feeling the guy was following me. I was scared, but not scared enough yet to go to the house whose yard I was trying to hide in. I peered back in the direction of the light to see what I could see. After a few moments of trying to see past a small bush, the light faded and I slowly realized the small bush was my ceiling light fixture. In real life. I wish I could have seen what I looked like, staring panicked and wide-eyed at the ceiling in my sleep. I bet I looked weird...er than usual.
I won't recount the rest of the dream, but I will say it contained a lengthy portion where people thought I loved porn.

Yeah, but really who DOESN'T love porn? :)
ReplyDeleteNothing weird about loving porn. I mean, c'mon ... porn! We all love it, even if we only express it in our dreams!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Fal to see this post. She might have some input on it with all her dream analysis stuff.
I'm glad you and Maggie had a happy birthday. It sounds a lot like the ones we have here, too. And no one seems to mind. :)
Happy Birthday Maggie!! Woo! 5 is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the title of this one! LOL
No comment about the dream though, other than to say, we don't think you love porn hon. ;)
That sounds like an awesome birthday to me!
ReplyDeleteDream logic vs. awake logic is a strange thing, isn't it? I can remember sleeping through my new electronic alarm when I was in high school, and trying to talk to someone. Because of the alarm, I thought it was an air raid siren, until I woke up and hit the snooze!
