I should have obeyed my alarm the first time

Then I would not have gone back to sleep and dreamed that I miraculously gave birth to a green-eyed little boy with a full head of sandy brown hair who was about four years old (by myself, with no assistance even though I was in the hospital).  I managed to get him fully dressed before I realized I forgot to record the birth weight.  Next thing I knew, I was bringing him home to my dilapidated VERY old 70s-decorated farm house with a dirty orange-blend shag carpet going up the treacherously steep stairs (with no handrail); as I ascended the stairs, they caved in.  My feet had just touched down on the second level, so I thought we were safe.  Then the entire second floor collapsed to the lower level, so I climbed into a bed on the first floor cradling my very large newborn toddler.  My mom came to visit me.  She sat across the bed in the place where I wanted my legs to go.  I really wanted to get comfortable, but I didn't want her to leave or to make her feel bad, so I just made the best of a cramped situation.  Then I woke up panicked about missing a morning deadline.  Ack.  Dreaming.

seriously? It's time to have the water checked for LSD and other hallucinogenic :-)

Does this mean you're scouring the adoption agencies for four-year-old green-eyed boys? David would love another cousin his age!

What did you eat the night before to make you dream this saga? Holey moley!
