The Trials of a Busy Mom

To sleep, perchance to dream, ay there’s the rub

Why is it that in a dream all things make perfect sense, and it’s only when you wake up and try to explain it to someone that you realize you are sounding like an idiot.

Take, for example, the dream I had last night. I was with some friends in a cabin, and there was one friend in particular who was a combination of three people I know in real life–a semi-needy friend from High School, a semi-neurotic roommate from BYU, and another friend from High school who had a major crush on a certain guy (Well, let’s face it, we all had major crushes on certain guys at one time or another from High school, so that could be any one of you).

This combo friend was very worried about the behavior of her boyfriend, who may or may not have also been her brother. He had gone somewhere without telling anyone and for some reason that was very bad, and she was upset. In comforting said “combo friend” (in my pajamas with holes in them), I knocked over and spilled a very large scrapbook, thus upsetting the other girl friends at the cabin.

There was also a concern about a certain spider problem, and some kind of moth larvae. See, when you are awake, it makes no sense at all, and you must be thinking that I’m on some kind of funky drugs! (Actually I just took a Clortrimiton or something of that ilk because I’m having some kind of major allergy problem at the moment, but I promise I wasn’t taking any such allergy medication last night!) But when I woke up, I was worried and concerned about not only the boyfriend/brother, but also the combo friend. And which of the 3 people should I be concerned about?

Should I give them all a call and see if they are doing ok? Oh the pressure! and what are we going to do about those blasted spiders?

Lagoon Day

Ryan thinks that since my friends all seem to be “blogging”, that there’s no way I should be left behind, so he set this one up for me. We’ll see if I keep it up or flake on it, but hey, at least I’ll give it a good effort. Hopeefully you’ll tune in more than just this once to see if I improve at this stuff.

Today was our Stake Lagoon Day. You know, every stake gets their own discount day. It was great fun when we were all in the Butler Stake and we would see all our friends and could hang out with them. It’s a little different here, as we really don’t know many people in our stake unless they are in our current ward or what used to be our ward, but we were still all set to go. Until we woke up to rain and 60 degree weather–similar to our Stake Lagoon Day last year. So, once again, we decided not to go, but had to think of something else to do, since we had dedicated the whole day to Lagoon. So, we tried something new and went to the Hollywood Connection. For $4 each, the kids could ride all the rides, –all 4 or 5 of them– go miniature golfing and skate as much as they wanted. Quite a bargain, I thought. So, we all rode the merry go round, and by the 4th time, John was ok without hanging onto a handful of my hair (quite an accomplishment, I think), rammed into each other on the bumper cars, and went miniature golfing. The others with stronger stomaches also rode some of the other wilder rides, We finished the day off with a trip through the drive through at Wendy’s and a movie at home. Not quite the excitement of Lagoon, but fun anyway.
