Emma's Christmas
Emma got a bunch of presents on Christmas Eve at Aunt Bunny's. On Christmas morning she got a ton from Santa and a ton from Noni and Popi. In the afternoon at Grandma's she got another huge pile. By the time we got home that evening she was so strung out from the excitement and addled with desire to play with her new toys that M and I gave up. We let her play. We quietly decided to defer our family Christmas to the next morning. It came as no surprise to us that she didn't even notice.





Stress dreams
You know those recurring dreams...the one's where you forgot to study for the test or something similar.

Well, last night I had a doozy. I was pretty sure I had a paper due but couldn't remember for certain on what is was about or whether there really was one due...

And, I couldn't remember where my first class was...

And, I couldn't remember where my locker was...

And, I couldn't remember the combination anyway...

I went to the office to ask where my locker was and they wouldn't tell me. They just led me on a wild goose chase because they couldn't find it either.

Then I woke up.

Tell me school years don't scar you for life.
