Before R.E.M. Sleep: Think about two things that happened during the day. I think about how you can never predict what turns your life will take. I think about a family member at a major crossroads in life. I think about my family who is also at a major crossroads in life.
Dream: Brett, Sydney and I are driving in the right lane of the freeway in a convertible. Somehow, Sydney is thrown out of the car and lands safely in the same lane. I turn around and yell, "SYDNEY!!!" She looks behind her to see a semi-truck coming. She lies down flat on her stomach, arms above her head and the truck drives right over her. This happens one more time with her looking up and seeing another car, lies back down in same position, and the car drives over. I am now on the side of the freeway yelling, "SYDNEY RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!" She sees she has a small window of time and gets up and runs off the freeway. I run to her hugging her and kissing her.
Sometime after the dream: I realize what the chord is in the Michael Jackson song that I blogged about a few days ago. I am serious. It almost makes me sit up straight in bed as I realize that the chord was an Am9 chord. He is singing the B (the 9th) and the instruments and singers are singing an Am chord. That was the "money" chord resolving to a D Mj chord then to a simple Am back to the DMj ready to hit the "money" Am9 again. That was really weird and is precisely why I can never fall asleep if there is any music playing anywhere in hearing range. It drives me crazy.
Scattered throughout the night: Ali's vocab words I quizzed her on before bed. He is a glutton and ensconced himself in the closet pilfering treats from his daughter's trick-or-treat bag. She bequeathed her favorite ring to her effervescent daughter as recompense for having "middle child" syndrome throughout her life. Stop! I finally say to my head. You need to sleep while baby is!
Around 3 a.m.: Why hasn't Kate cried to eat yet? Ow. Kate, any minute would be great. Where are you?
Around 5 a.m.: Kate? Ow. Where are you? Time to eat.
5:30a.m.: Wake Kate up and feed her.
Weird night.

ok, the whole MJ thing. You are completely over the top.
I'll interpret your dream at a later date. You know what this means, right?
the vocab thing. SO funny.
Wow Erin, I knew you were talented musically but dreaming about the note MJ hi? Which by the way I saw last night and LOVED it. I kept thinking though that for me (the non musical one) the dancing was too incredible for words!
