My Overactive Dream Life

Well I slept a little bit after 430 this morning because I had a crazy dream.  I think what this dream taught me is maybe less CSI:Miami & NCIS on Hulu before falling asleep.

Snowflake and I were home,  but in a different home.  A modular 650 square foot house.  It had a wrap around front porch with a porch swing. The house was a cozy log cabin. Out back (to the north) were the Big Horn Mountains and out front (south facing) was a view of the Atlantic Ocean (dream geography is fun).

To our east about 1000 feet away was my best friend Crystal and her family.  They lived in a smaller scale Brady Bunch looking house painted to resemble a candy cane. 

To my west my closest neighbor was half a mile away.  It  was Sam Hannah from NCIS:Los Angeles. Next to him were the Baxters from Last Man Standing. 

Back to my house,  Snowflake and I are inside.  I'm doing homework for my last class of med school before I become a resident.  Snowflake is making Chicken Parmigiana, a cheesecake and a salad. 

It is a quiet,  homey evening when we get a knock on our door. Horatio Cane and McGee are there.  They have a pre arrest warrant for me. 

"The state of Finlandia has been ordered to issue this pre arrest warrant. You are charged with making animal noises when reading to your child at the library on September 42, 2032. You entitled to your choice of attorney, but must present yourself at the dungeon on Monday October 15, 2032 before 10:10am. Signed, President of Finlandia Jed Bartlett  on October 11, 2032"

McGee is very apologetic.  I thank them and close the door.  I then grab my shoe to make a phone call.  I call my attorney. Deb is not available but she recommends someone and sends him out. It is Harm from JAG. He is accompanied by Tom Selleck. 

We talk about the pre arrest warrant while Snowflake gets dinner on the table.  We discuss that the adult part of the library in Wyomintonia and only the children's part is in Finlandia. If I can get Horatio and his team to prove I was in the adult section then I didn't break any laws. 

Sam Hannah and Gibbs knock on my door.  They decide if we can't prove where I was they can help me escape on the Cloudsdale Highway (think Underground Railroad) to Montana which has no extradition with Finlandia.

I call Horatio and he promises to view the security tapes.  A bit later my shoe rings,  I pick it up seeing it is Horatio and I wake up.

Like I said,  I have an active dream life. Enjoy and have a blessed weekend. Snowflake and I will be busy getting over her croup and my cold, but we will be enjoying the changing of the season as Autumn sends the leaves to blanket there ground before the snows of Winter add their icy chill.

No Sleep & A Friend Who Gets it!

One of the battles Snowflake and I have fought over the last 4.5 years is with sleep. She started out life as the greatest sleeper in the history of baby sleep. Quickly she was sleeping for 4-5 hours at a time. When she was awake she was inquisitive, happy and fun. When she was asleep she was O-U-T, out! She could sleep in the bowling alley! I thought I had birthed the world's best sleeper. I did not deal with new mom exhaustion. I was blessed. AND THEN... Well it started when she was fourteen months old. When our life changed. People say that little humans are resilient, and they are, but they notice and respond to major life changes. They are human after all and trauma affects us all, age doesn't matter. The young, old and in between are all changed by traumatic events, and Snowflake, she has a background with trauma. It isn't easy to lose a parent at any age, when you are too young to understand why that parent vanished and then the other parent moves you to a brand ...

Keeping it at His Feet

I love to pray.  I love to just talk to Jesus.  He really is my best friend.  It amazes me that He knows me, knows all my secrets, my failures, my inadequate times, my sins and He loves me. He truely loves me. He doesn't love me less than He did when I was younger and skinnier.  He knows what I need to work on but He won't love me more when I purge some sin struggles.  He loves me completely and fully right now. He pursued me. He was beaten, tortured, mocked and brutally killed for me! My name was on His heart when He obeyed the Father on that terrible day. I can never thank Him enough.  I can't get enough of Him. I just love talking to God, the one I can trust with all my tears, fears, doubts, worries and hopes. I am really good at taking things to Him.  One thing I am working on is leaving it there.  I tend to want to take back my fears, worries and doubts. I want to see the future so I know if He says "yes" to my hopes. My big prayer ...

My Heart Walked Down the Sidewalk

I didn't snap a photo.  Which is abnormal for me.  I take 8 gazillion photos because 5 concussions leaves marks.  They have affected my memory. I have memories but I have blank areas too. Things that normal people remember but I don't.  I use pictures too help. Today I walked with Snowflake to school.  At the edge of the neighborhood/ start of the school property I let her walk on by herself as I watched. She looked so small yet so confident walking to the playground.  My little girl, walking to school.  Growing up.  It wasn't just any kid walking on that sidewalk, it was my heart. Today it struck me just how quickly she is growing up now that she is in school. Things are changing.  It is good and it is natural.  I want her to be strong and independent. I want her to have confidence. I want her to enjoy this phase of life. Yet, that is my baby. I know her fears and worries. I know what bothers her.  I know what is behind the...
