Last night? I had dreams about high school.
Not the "I forgot my shirt and now I'm in class" or "I didn't study for the exam and now it is on my desk" or "I've missed the bus and now my mom has to drive me to school" or "I'm getting made fun of by the big bad senior girls" variety.
I think one part had people in it that I haven't seen in at least 15 years, and we were all just hanging out catching up. It was like a reunion, without the nametags or the rubber chicken. And, seriously? Her name came right to mind as I woke up. I may have to look her up.
One part had me playing basketball again, but I was this old, which should tell you something about the skill level. And the performance of my aching knees. I'm pretty sure I was in business attire, too.
And part one had me babysitting, or Dear God, maybe they were my kids? Either way, I had a baby and a toddler following me everywhere. I remember the faint smell of peanut butter and jelly.
The last part I can remember had me telling a girl "I was always picked last for sports in school." which honestly isn't true. I was tall, and on a Varsity team. Which didn't say much for my abilities when it came to soccer, rope climbing, Red Rover or other non-basketball/tennis/swimming events. But in my dreams, I was definitely the odd woman out.
Insecure much?
I tossed and turned and changed diapers and took jump shots all night.
I'm exhausted.

Thank you for sharing, I thought I was the only one that had an odd dream last night! Setting: a party at my current work, but with old work folks as well. Everyone was getting along and mingling just fine, but for some reason, I was carrying around a large, wooden door. Everywhere. I couldn't join in the conversations and sips of cool beer because of this damn door.
Now I'll spend the morning analyzing what burden the door represented.
Did I mention Chris Farley was there, as his character from Tommy Boy?
I'm pretty tired too...
My step-brother and step-sister used to coach there! Waaaay after your time though :)
Colleen,
Pregnancy has made my dreams very vivid and real lately. I hear that it's one of those things that comes with the territory. Well. .. Facebook has made some pretty odd people from my past end up in my dreams.
A couple of months ago I had a dream that i found out you were dating one of my old guy friends from church. You both came to me and told me you were madly in love. It was an odd match and i remember being floored and confused at how you even met. The kicker is that this friend of mine is only about 5'5". The site of you two holding hands and cuddling up on each other was almost too hilarious and perplexing for my dream.
I'm not sure if there's any hidden meaning in this dream but it was certainly entertaining.
