bad dreams

I'd think that with the cool stuff that happened yesterday, I would have been keeping myself busy while sleeping thinking about great, creative, fun things. Instead, I dreamed about the crap that happened yesterday.

When I went to lunch at Wendy's, I made the mistake of getting in line behind 2 or 3 high school students. Normally that wouldn't had been a problem, but since they seemed to have a plethora of friends, it became a problem. By the time I was in line for a few minutes, the small group had multiplied into 6 or 7 people in front of me. They just assumed that because they knew someone in front of them in the line, they could join them. I wanted to tell them that this wasn't the school lunch line, but a real lunch line where people were on a schedule and were standing there first and RESPECT and blah blah blah... but I said nothing. In the end, the line didn't move too slowly because the people working there were rockin' the register. I hope my kids learn enough from me to respect other people in this world - even at a Wendy's lunch line.

I dreamed last night that I went to get lunch at some 50's-style diner and basically had the same thing happen to me again. I had to scream at the people working there to get them to even pay attention to what was going on because they were enabling it to happen. I left in a huff and didn't even get lunch :( At least it was only a dream meal.

Then there's the talks about Syria in the news and how the American embassy was bombed, and there is some confusion as to who did it and why.

I dreamed that Syrian jets were doing fly-by's of the area I was in and they kept flying very low to scare the people standing around. We were obviously in America, so it was like we were just about to be under attack. One of the jets even landed close to me. I thought for sure war was about to break out.

Talk about a stressful night. Now I'm going to get me a new iPod shuffle.
