Layers

Today is Jack’s birthday.  Hooray!

I have to pick him up.  I woke up relatively early, then fell back asleep, then dreamed that I woke up much, much later, to discover that all the clocks in the house were broken, and my cel phone was shorted out, and I was very, very late picking him up.  So I called Weaver to apologize for not being there on time to pick him up, and told her I’d throw myself in the shower and be there in five minutes flat.  And then I woke up.  Not much, much later, but later.  But still early enough to be on time to pick him up.

Unless I keep typing.

    Happy birthday, Jack!

    I hate dreams like that. I often have that dream of being late to work, but then I wake up and find it’s 4 in the morning. ugh.

    He had a good one. :)

    Yeah, that’s no fun. Although dreaming that you’re late to work and waking up to find you don’t have to be there yet is maybe slightly better than dreaming that you’re actually at work doing all the things you do when you’re awake, which also used to happen to me a lot.

    Only slightly though.

    True. I used to have that dream of already being on my way to school, then to be awoken by my mom yelling that I was late– and found myself still in bed. yikes.
