That was just a dream…just a dream June 6, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Kids, I dream of sleep, Home wreckers , trackbackYesterday, I forgot to charge my MP3 player. The kids had the choice of no music or Mommy music. They chose Mommy music. Then REM came on and I was just singing without thinking, as most adults do. Soleil then asked "Mommy? Why is it just a dream?" Huh? Oh yeah, "It’s just the words to the song" "But WHY?" "Because people dream of many things…"
Today, I am dreaming of two things: a car and a child.
I am taking part of Thursday off to talk to two dealers about the car. I think I can get the price down to $18.5K or less before trade-in. I am getting obsessed, but I can’t actually do anything because we don’t have the money in place yet. The finances are in motion, we need confirmations. I have the dream of the new car smell, the volume controls on the steering wheel, the sunroof over my head, Oh yeah I want this car!
The child. Yes, well Soleil has decided that almost being 4 means that she can do whatever she wants. This is getting pretty damn frustrating. Last night, she was being, well, 4 and it was driving us nuts. She refused to eat anything for dinner, she got angry and silly and fell off her chair. UGH. Sometimes I wonder if she will ever listen! But then I remember that I want my kids to be independent. And to do what is right to them. (While being respectful, we are teaching that, TRUST me)…
But right now she is driving me nuts!
And a third thought. We had Crazy H and family over on Sunday. Her oldest, Alex, is 2 weeks younger than Luna. She always compares the two. Drives me batty. On Sunday, Soleil asked for a pancake and we got it for her. Meanwhile, Alex is following Dr. Jay and her dad around saying "me me me pancake me me me" I finally asked "Alex, would you like a pancake?" to which she smiled and nodded "yesh, pan cake"
Dr. Jay went and got one for her. Crazy H said "she just said pancake? She never talks!" Um, sweetie, your daughter talks, you need to listen….
