    MB:  I think that tops any crazy dream I've ever had! LOL  Craziness!  I would hav woken up very paranoid and confused. haha

    I DID.  I'm still bothered by it.  It happened Saturday and it's now 3 mornings later and it's still bugging me.

    It's sadly not my craziest dream by a long shot.  But it IS the craziest one involving my child, which is why it probably bothers me so much.

     

    Harmony - redundancy has its merits, I guess!

  • I really want to throat punch this little know-it-all HR Generalist who keeps trying to tell me how to do my job.  He talks to me like I don't know how to do or even understand his.  Ugh, been there, done that, sort of had my current role created for me because I rocked his job when I had it.  Shithead.

    Hopefully with some rest she'll be 100% in no time.  Plus, you've still got 2 full days for her to recover.

    Tomorrow is DH's last day to drive to Houston for work. 

    Last day of 2 hours on the road.

    Last day of driving 100 miles a day.

    Last day for him to miss out on dinner and bathtime. 

    Last day for him to only see the girls for about 1 hour a day.

    I'm so, so, so excited.  So excited I could cry. 

    I have the biggest smile reading this.  I'm very happy for you guys too.

    Ditto!! :) 

  • Sad sad sad.  I just put the first email out to a grad school buddy that I may be looking for work soon asking if she'll keep an ear out for me.  Sigh.  I already know of one other history org in Houston that went under this year.
    My big boy is bounding towards 3! Hoping to add a sibling. image Hipster dog is not impressed.
  • Thanks ladies!

    MB -- That's a crazy dream.  If I have time later, I'll write up the crazy one I had the other day involving nesties.  Only Harmony was on my side and the rest of you went insane.  So thanks Dream Harmony.  ;)

    Nanner22 -- Sucks.  But yay for being a SAHM!

    Kreeper -- Yeah, I hate fighting with the girls in the AM too.  It makes the whole day bad.  So sorry.  Know that he forgets it way before you do.  :)

    Awwww.  But I have an example... the whole moving to Austin thing. ;-) j/k M&M

    Actually M&M, there were some nesties in my dream!  I didn't include that part because they weren't the nesties I'm closest to.  In fact, none of the Pearland/southside nesties were there.  That almost made it worse - finding something so life altering and having acquaintances (not close friends) in the other room at the same time.

  • Ok dream analysis time.

     

    Supposedly (according to the interwebz), if you dream about a hermaphrodite it symbolizes confusion about identity or sexual preference, adaptability, ability to see both sides of the argument, unwillingness or inability to choose options in a decision, or the idea of trying to be everything to everyone.

     

    The nesties in my dream were CCM, Jess, Viula, Clare, and there were others but those 4 stood out front.  There were like 6-8 over for a playdate or drinks (sort of morphs in my memory).  Sorry to use first names and not nestie names, but I'm using material from FB in the next paragraph so by using real names you will know who these people are if you are FB friends and I won't be outing their own information in my post here.

     

    It occurred to me as I listed out the ones I could remember, with CCM being the most prominent, that all 4 of us have 4 year olds (unless I?m aging Joe, in which case I?m sorry!).  CCM has been posting on FB about R behaving in a certain way, and I?m struggling with the same.  I asked myself this weekend, ?where did this child [crazyM] come from and what did she do with M?? 

     

    So I?m thinking that my dream played out my anxieties about the fact that M is growing into a new, difficult phase, and I have to adapt to that, but also teach her how to control some of her behavior.  I might also have been wondering self-consciously if it would be easier if she was a boy hoping that would mean she wouldn't be so dramatic.

     

    As for the ?my pee pee hurts? and all that, she has had constant irritation ?down there? which has gotten a lot better lately, to my great relief.  So maybe that got merged in there for that reason.

     

    That's my best guess.

    Yes - just didn't want to say, "Cindy" if you hadn't been posting the same about R here as you did on FB.  Your posts on FB give me sanity though!  Makes me feel not so alone!!! M is being so difficult lately - angry tantrum one day and then sad and whimpering another.  All appearing to be trying to be in control of the situation through one method or another. It's exhausting.

    You are SO not alone.  LOL DH is convinced that Kaitlyn is bi-polar.  She can be the sweetest little girl and then all of a sudden she's having a complete melt-down (still complete with kicking crying screaming, etc) and we not know exactly what set her off.  I'm so ready for this phase to be OVER.

  • For what it's worth....Kendall started dramatically improving behavior-wise right at 4 1/2....so ladies, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We are pretty much down to NO tantrums and she's cooperative & pleasant about 95% of the time. I very rarely have to raise my voice....which is a huge improvement over about a year ago where I felt I was yelling just about every day.

    Our girls are almost the same age and I've found this to be true.  The closer they get to age 5, the more and more you see the behavior improvements.  This pre-K year with Sarah has been wonderful and I'm definitely looking forward to the summer with her.  I used to dread summers but not this year!
