About that time Tom showed up again and convinced me to go back to bed. Which, I said, meh—why not, since it was the middle of the night after all. And just as I was starting to fall asleep I woke up. Because Clara was awake.
I had my fair share of nutty dreams when I was pregnant—I guess I thought they'd be gone by now. But if anything they're getting worse.
Like the one from a few weeks ago. When Clara could magically morph herself into inanimate objects, like a 2-liter of soda (the flavor escapes me though). And then after that we were walking home and she transformed into a plastic blow-up rocket toy, and the wind picked up, blew her right out of my arms and started to carry her away and I had to chase after her in a frenzy. (Whoa, can we say run-on?) Yes, I said a plastic blow-up rocket toy. You know, just like one of those blow-up things that you get at a theme park.
No?
Here. I drew you a picture.
The worst part is that I was calling for someone to help me, but I knew that no one would believe me when I told them the rocket was my daughter. Because how many babies do you know that can morph into a plastic blow-up rocket toy?
I shudder just thinking about it.
I wish I could blame such things on post-labor pain medicine, or something. But nope. Because my name is Season and I've been drug free for weeks now.
So I guess my point is—weird, huh?
Speaking of dreams, I should probably go find out which one awaits me tonight, because is it waaaaay past my newly acquired "motherhood" bed time.
Good night, Neverland.
