Nightmare on MLK Day

I've had dreams like that (I wonder how common those are). Usually I'm back in college and someone asks me how I did on the Chemistry final- a class I never took. I realize that I never went to the classes, never did the reading or assignments, and now have skipped the final- a guaranteed F coming my way. Thankfully, I've not had that dream in a long time, but I do remember waking up in night sweats a lot while pregnant.

I hope you deal closes quickly and without problems. Good luck!

oooh! I had a college dream last night too! Only, I was in my dorm room with my roommate from Freshman year and realized that classes had started 3 days ago but I wasn't signed up for a single one.

The other recurring one is that I haven't checked my snail mail in a few months and can't find my key to the mailbox at the student union. weird.

The best way that my nanny and I get along is that I stay out of her way. You wouldn't want someone coming in on your job and telling you how to do it after you've been doing it successfully for so many months; I'm sure she doesn't want that either. I visit some, but mostly I stay in my room. When the kids were at the age where I was more of a disruption than a quick visit, I tried to not go down at all (timed lunch and potty breaks with naps and outside time). Crazy, I know - but it works.

Good luck with it all - it IS tough!

I've had that exact dream - it's always the final for Employment Discrimination (after I decided NOT to attend class all semester). Very strange. I hope your deal goes well - and I'm confident that you know what you're doing.

I, too, had a stress dream last night involving an accidental purchase of a shabby condo.

I'm sure you will kick ass in your deal!

I have that dream pretty often- except it's a class I've been skipping or have kept forgetting to go to and will not pass the final. (I think it's always math)
It's so funny because I doubt I ever skipped that many classes but it feels so real!

I too have had that exact dream. In fact, like Momma, mine is also always Employment Discrimination. Except when it's Latin (which I never took in real life, but in my dream I signed up for it and forgot to drop by the end of the add-drop period).

Ditto on the same exact dream. Except mine was taking a Spanish class and I hadn't studied. I couldn't remember the word for twelve. Of course I woke up and had the word "doce" stuck in my head all day. I blame my work with Latin America lately.

You'll definitely get out of the house more with one, not to mention being more relaxed.

I've had the same dream when under stress. It's the usual "not feeling prepared" dream. Hang in there.

oh my gosh, but your blog is horrible. i'm so sorry.

do you think your nanny is so wonderful perhaps because she knows you are broadcasting her performance on your public blog? wow. just...wow.
