Dreams

I'm realizing that I can't eat high amounts of sugar in the evening if I want a good night's rest. Not only do i find myself tossing for much of the night, but during the time I actually am asleep I have some weird, unsettling dreams. While I don't remember most of them (although the weird feeling often persists throughout the morning) I did share one with Kenny immediately upon awakening. And he remembers it and keeps telling me to blog it for all to analyze. So here the super condensed version:

It's my dad's 50th birthday and I've pulled out all the stops throwing a huge bash. He's not really cooperating with much of what i've planned and he is even refusing to eat the decadent chocolate cake I baked for him myself. And so I spend the remainder of the party (of which the details are blurry) sneaking around and repeatedly ambushing my dad with a syringe full of the chocolate cake trying to inject it into his bloodstream. I never succeeded. And I woke up.

The same night of this dream I was woken by an asleep husband yanking on my arm. After pulling my arm free before he tore it from its socket, he then sat up, reached over and grabbed the comforter off of me and rolled himself up in it. Never waking up. Evidently he was having a rough night, too.

And now I must go. Kenny's at a meeting which gives me just enough time to whip up something sweet. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. But as long as I don't share with Kenny then at least I don't have to worry about him dismembering me during the night.

Oh man!! I hate cooky dreams! Thanks to allergies and some Claritin, I get them every spring. My favorite is taking my grandmas head that got scrathed by some dogs to their owners to show them the proof. And in her words, she didnt need for a little while cause she was making dinner and knew the recipe well...

one time Kory elbowed me in his sleep.

During our first week of marriage, Kenny bit me in the forehead while sleeping. I still had teeth marks the next morning. (He claims he was dreaming that he was in a full nelson by Andre the Giant and his only defense was to bite.)
