I had a dream that I was called to a friend's house and when I got there, a pregnant mama was anxiously laboring.  I could see a large patch of the baby's head already and although the mama was convinced something was wrong, I could see she was just very nervous.  She was on her back with her knees bent but her legs were very tense and her knees ( Read more... )

I woke up really early this morning but didn't want to give up my warm bed, so I went back to sleep.  Then I had a dream that when I woke up I noticed Jack's work bag and wallet were still sitting on the kitchen table, so I wandered over to the window to see if his truck was still here.  The first thing I noticed was that Jack was laying in the ( Read more... )

I heard Kim leave very early this morning to do her volunteer/home care duty, then I heard Charlotte waking up.  When I went into the Littles' room I first gave Julia a kiss and wished her a happy birthday, then got Charlotte out of her crib.  The three of us snuggled in the recliner under minky soft blankets while Charlotte nursed.  I told Julia ( Read more... )

The other night I had a dream that I had terminal cancer.  I asked friends to help me get caught up on my scrapbooks for the girls, I bought a camcorder so that I could be filmed playing and interacting with my family, and I had to wean Charlotte from my breast and from her total dependance on me.  In the dream, Jack and I took the girls for a walk ( Read more... )

I woke up at 4:30 this morning after having horrible,scary dreams about this baby's birth.  Giving birth in our van, in the dark, halfway to the city, tight nuchal cord, snapped cord, fumbling in the dark for cord clamps...just horrible.

I shook that off eventually and then started to think about Lucy.  It was one year ago tomorrow that I called ( Read more... )

I had a dream early this morning that I was in labor and we had to get ready to drive to the city to have this baby.  Jack and I were waiting for someone to pick us up (?) and I was having whopper contractions while we waited.  When our ride arrived, it was a big black club cab pickup truck!!   The cab of the truck was full of people so they put me ( Read more... )

In my dream I was sorting through some boxes of stuff from my childhood and I found a small black box with a lid on it.  Inside the box was my favorite dead hamster, now so decayed and mummified that it looked like a sleeping hamster cat toy.  There were also some pieces of a broken bracelet of my mother's.  I called Kim and Julia over to look at ( Read more... )

I had THE weirdest dreams last night, but the only one I choose to remember is the one about our new baby.  Jack and I had gone into a tiny little local store carrying the car seat and we set it down on a chair while I walked around to look at a display.  Then I looked over to the car seat and all I could see was one tiny pink fist waving in the ( Read more... )

I wrote 10 pages for my STD assignment.  I did 8 pages of protocols for STDs.  And I got started on a paper about preventing STDs.  I've had enough crotch-talk for a while.

I made chili in the slow cooker, dug out all the boxes of winter coats, sheets, and mitts.  I packed up boxes of summer clothes, clothes that don't fit the girls anymore, and ( Read more... )
