Leaping Tall Buildings

My dream last night:

I'm working, but it's not really my work. I'm driving around trying to find a house. They all look different, but they all look the same too - different colors. I keep thinking I see the house I need but then it's the wrong one.

I'm driving to the freeway and see two of my bosses (my real life bosses) behind me. I wave to them and they wave back. It's a freeway entrance that's monitored, like in LA. Only 3 cars can go at a time. I am the last of three so my bosses are left behind. I get on the freeway going 99 miles an hour.

All of a sudden I'm not in my car anymore. I'm jumping from one tall building to another, making it without any problem. Kind of like in Trinity in the Matrix, in one of the beginning scenes, but not futuristic or anything. All of a sudden I get to a weird building and realize I won't make it so I fall.

And then I wake up.

PS - Early to Bed - Early to Rise

BTW - As opposed to not having time to go to bed (hmmmm....) I fell asleep during Veronica Mars (does anyone know what happened last night?) So instead of forcing myself to stay awake to get bottles together or do anything for that matter, I was in bed by 10:00.

I'm still tired, but not so much as if I had gone to bed later.

So I remembered the first part of my dream as I woke up at 4 a.m., making a bottle, only to get Little One and find him fast asleep in his crib. I don't remember it now, of course.

The end of it - well, the middle of it, goes a little like this. There were a bunch of kids all mulling around a bicycle. There were more people than that there, but all I really noticed were these kids, and I remember yelling at them to be careful and that they were being rowdy.

Unfortunately, that's all that I remember. I know that the first part of the dream I was happy. It was all nice, but the bicycle part wasn't. I remember feeling mad or angry.

Aimless

This was supposed to have been posted yesterday, but....

So Saturday night we had the silent auction. The auction itself went well, but the ending (where everyone claimed their winnings and paid) was WAY more chaotic then I wanted. I left one thing to my co-chair, to get the volunteers organized, and she didn't do it. She approached people DURING the auction. They had no clue what was going on. I was so frustrated. Needless to say, after the event, I have all of the items that people didn't claim because they left early and those items that didn't sell. I have to coordinate getting things out of my house. I don't even know who paid and who didn't. That's probably the worst part.

Anyway, I didn't get to bed until 1:30 and woke up at 6:ish with Little Man and I was tired. We all stayed in our PJ's until at least 11 a.m. and the only reason we got dressed was because we needed to buy food. We went to Sam's Club and Catalano's. At both places we all wandered aimlessly. We haven't had such a terrible grocery shopping trip in such a long time. All day was like that. No direction, nothing accomplished. Aaah well. I can sleep when I'm dead, right?

Restful Night

Well, I finally got a "full" night's sleep last night. No baby, no pre-k child. I did wake up briefly at 6:30 a.m. to check the clock. I know I had some nice dreams, but I was too tired to remember them. I did, however, wake up tired still. For some reason if I don't wake up at least once shortly before my alarm is supposed to go off I feel like I need even more sleep. There's some mental component of getting at least 10 minutes more sleep and not doing it after my alarm goes off that I need. If there's no clock by my bed I also feel at a loss. I need to know what time it is when I wake up, no matter what time it is or how many times I wake up in the middle of the night.

Wish I Was Sleeping

I'm soooo tired. I am falling asleep just sitting here. I was I could dream right now.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Not my dream last night. I know I had something pleasant, but my son had a "bad" dream. He was in a house that was not his house and there was a monster and, here's the bad part, he wasn't a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I think he needs to feel powerful.

Sleepless and dreamless night

Once again, last night I could not sleep. No dreams even, which I thought I would have since I started contemplating keeping this blog. (Yes, I am still contemplating just deleting it.) This silent auction that I am working on is infiltrating my sleep. My son even slept through until at least 5:00 a.m., which is really good, but I woke up at 4:00. I tried relaxation techniques, and listening to my husband and son's breathing helped, but I just couldn't find slumber.

I had to get up and out of bed and got onto the computer. It didn't help - especially because after I went back upstairs, my son was awake and, even though he was playing around, he was going to need to eat before long.

First Post of the Day

I am a firm believe that blogs are intended to be read by others. I can't write completely honestly because I don't even keep a journal. Even when I kept a journal, I always thought: "If so-and-so read this they would think [add thought] or they would be hurt." I am prefacing my blog with - I am not going to write anything that will hurt someone I know specifically if I think it will hurt them. Or if I will have second thoughts if I know they read it.

I'm not a particularly good writer, but my blog is going to concentrate mostly on my dreams. I used to keep a dream journal and I think I will go back to that. I remember a lot of dreams and right now, because I wake up at least once in the middle of each and every night, I remember even more. So I am going to explore them a bit and see if I can make sense of them. If nothing else, when I look back through my old dream journal, I can remember particular times in my life. We'll see if that works again. I have to write my dreams down right when I wake up and since I am on the computer mostly at work, that's a near impossibility - so we'll see how much my much dwindling memory can remember.

Now, let's see if I can figure out how all of this blog stuff works. It's going to take some getting used to. (Already I can't figure out how to get spaces between my paragraphs - give me Word!)
