This photo does not actually do the insanity of my bedhead justice.
So Kathryine and Ashley didn't leave my room last night until I turned off my computer and curled up at the foot of my bed. Aaahahaha. Anyway.
Weird dream--it started with The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, and I was trying to get them across the level with the frogs and the lily pads, but there was a Russian princess or something who wanted me to fail and it was a very hard level and for some reason I had to stack up crates or marshmallows (I think the crates changed into marshmallows at some point during my dream) in order to get the Zoombinis across. Then I was a soldier at boot camp, and the sergeant hated me because I was weak and could barely do ten push-ups and my mind kept wandering off, et cetera, and then I got mad and determined and did twenty push-ups instead of ten and I counted out loud to make sure he knew it, and then he decided he liked me even though I kept forgetting to call him "sir." And then for some reason I found that we were raising mealworms, or that mealworms were everywhere in the barracks or something, and then we went out onto the field (although I still think it was a training exercise) and yeah, it was odd.
EDIT: I took a nap after lunch and had another dream. I was at a movie or a play or something, sitting near the back, and some lady there was my English teacher and she said I still had to read, and I was like, yeah, I definitely will, but I could not for the life of me remember which of my five classes she taught. Anyway, the movie/play was a musical about time-travel, and the characters wanted to fight something like the division of time, and yeah.
The dream shifted then and then I was in a musical reinterpretation of Beauty and the Beast, and I was playing Beauty's father, I think? I came home and started helping Beauty and my mother or the housekeeper or something, some old lady caretaker character, set the table and stuff, and then it felt like something pricked my finger and I looked and there was a mark, but then it turned out Beauty had been the one really hurt and she now had the "poison of the Rose" in her, according to the old lady. A bunch of people came in trying to help her, and then the Beast came in and tried to take her away, and we were all like OMGWTFNO but then Beauty chose to go with him. And she totally gave me a dirty look. Anyway, the Beast had this whole big thing explaining how he wasn't a terrible being and WTF was wrong with all of us, but then I took my stand and said why he was horrible and pointed a weapon at him, and then he was like, "What distinguishes me from you?" and I dropped my weapon in shame and then someone said to the Beast, "And that is why you will always be a beast."
Also, I had another daughter who everyone knew was going to marry this other guy whose name started with a J (Jamie? Jesse? Something like that), except everyone was always like, "But it's a problem because homosexual marriage..." and (oh wait his name was Jacob) and then I was like, no, really, Jacob's a boy. Hahahaha. But that wasn't really important.
Anyway, we all went backstage and we had to go someplace else to get to our dressing rooms, and it was a huge confusing buildings with a bunch of spiral stairs that led to the different levels, and each level had the rooms for different characters. Named characters were all the way at the top so I was running to try to get there, and then the old lady was calling a meeting or something so once I got there I had to get somewhere else, and I didn't know where it was so I ran around until I found some of the acrobatic actors, who instead of answering me with words flashed a light symbol to show me that I had to go up.
And I think then I woke up.
