What I thought was pink eye turned out to be bronchitis and ear infections for the kids. This are the meds that they're on right now!They've been home this week and I've had to cancel all my music lessons, which has thrown my routine off! As Ryan has been studying long hours for his finals, I've been trying to get ready for this big trip.
I've been getting to bed way too late and then getting up way too early. As little sleep as I've been getting, I have dreams. WEIRD dreams.
For the last few nights straight, I've woken up very frustrated. The dreams that I conjure up in my head always start the same: I'm packing and trying to board the plane that will take me over to my parent's apartment in China. Either I miss the flight (due to Ryan's lack of packing) or I get on the plane and then an announcement is made saying that the airplane is suddenly glued to the ground. (one dream it was actually broken in two pieces) WEIRD.
This morning, I woke up absolutely FURIOUS at Ryan. For what he did in my dream! Of course I wouldn't ever hold him accountable for what he does in real life for his behavior in my dreams the night before, but as I'm waking up, I'm still working through those emotions that were involved as I was asleep. However IRRATIONAL as they can be! I told him this morning that he didn't pack and actually wanted to take a nap before we boarded our plane. And we ended up missing our flight and we didn't end up going to China for Christmas!
So, I'm having stress dreams trying to get ready. Not sure why. I guess I'm nervous about being away from the kids for 10 straight days, worried about Ryan and how he'll do in his finals and concerned about flying in the air for 16 hours straight. I'll go stir crazy! I've never just sat and done nothing for that long, I need to bring a load of laundry to fold while I just sit!
I am very relieved that they'll be in good hands, people that love them will care for them and I'm not concerned about that. Thank you to my wonderful in laws, my dear friends and my sister and her husband for watching out for them while we're absent. I can't imagine leaving them in better hands!
Tonight I'd rather dream about vampires or something. I'll give it a shot.

Funny post! I have very odd and detailed dreams as well. I like the airplane glued on the ground and then breaking into 2 pieces one. Very odd.
I would miss my kids, too. And I just can't imagine sitting for 16 hours...in fact I don't know if I could do it (i have diagnosed myself with restless leg syndrome). You will have an amazing time in China, I'm sure. :) Until then, I think you need chocolate and yoga to ease some of that stress (wink wink). ;)
I totally have dreams about NEd and then wake up and feel soo mad at him..normally a cheating dream though. I had one the other night about Will drowning in a river and I was hysterical and as i looked at him through the water, because i was trying to chase him down, he was smiling up at me with his very happy smiling face. It was horrible. Luckily a lady revived him since i was too hysterical to do anything helpful. Half the ward was in that dream too, everyone was kayaking and swimming, but not me, I was just letting my sweet baby drown...I hope it isn't a future telling dream..EEEK!!! Hey, let me know if you are needing any help. Issy woke up from a nap today with red eyes(around her eyes) and splotches, kind of like hives. Not sure what is up with that????
lol! Your posts totally crack me up! Poor Ryan, indeed. As if he doesn't have enough things to worry about... now he's got to worry about what he does in your dreams. Wow. (ha)
Hope the kids and everyone is feeling better. Sorry to hear that kids have been sick. Would it help to know that I picked something out for you at the fabric market to have made for you? All you have to do is come get it.
See you soooooooooooooooooon!!
Ha ha, I have woken up a few times being really ticked off at Jeff for something he did in a dream. It really does take awhile for me to calm down and stop being mad.
A friend of mine was furious at me in high school one day for something I did to him in his dream. (Not sure whether to focus on the fact he was angry or the idea he was dreaming about me...) Strange situation to be in though-on the receiving end. I'll see you in a couple weeks!
Sorry about all the sickness. No fun.
Anxiety before a trip and all the details that go with it is always stronger before the trip than during the trip. You are going to have a blast!
