Weirdest dream again.

I think one of the reasons I remembered this so vividly was because in the dream itself I was composing a mental email to send to someone explaining it all.

This all seems to have happened over a weekend with real people I know.

I was in a flat with my kids and in the neighbouring flats there were other families that I knew.

Bee was in a dance recital that hubby attended whilst checking his blackberry constantly before he had to leave suddenly at the break to fly to China.

I went to pick up a new sportscar I had ordered. It was red and I drove it out of the showroom. The next day however I was back in the showroom to test drive the car of my dreams. But I am not sure what car this actually was.

On the Saturday we had been invited to the wedding of a colleague's daughter that hubby used to work with. I had a gorgeous strapless dress but hubby then called to say it was not an evening wedding as I had thought but actually a lunch wedding and very subdued. This then became an issue as I would be over dressed and also I had no babysitter. I had arranged for one in the evening but would now need one much earlier. I was frantically calling and texting all my usual sitters but non could help and I was panicking as I knew hubby would be furious with me. I ended up having to ask the neighbours if they could watch the kids. They could.

Hubby then met me at the wedding which was quite understated for the family involved. And at the event was someone I thought I had once dated briefly. I also knew the guys catering the event which was almost embarrassing as they were then serving me so to speak.

After the wedding hubby disappeared again and I went back to the flat to round up the kids. They were in the flat of one of Paddy's mates whose mother was having contractions giving birth to her 3rd child. Another friend, an old neighbour was helping in the role of midwife. In real life these 2 women never knew each other at all.

I got a call from the catering friends to go and meet them for a drink. By this time my kids were in bed and I wanted to go out but again had no sitter and neighbour was busy giving birth so I couldn't go. But then asked older neighbour to listen for my kids with a baby monitor. Something in real life I would never do.

So I left the flat and walked down the slope of an underground carpark to meet the catering guys. Had a few drinks with them and they told me that the wedding they had just catered, despite being a really wealthy family, were notoriously bad at paying their bills.

Walked back to the flat where a young boy with his granny was walking with a real snake. This actually freaked me out so much but the kid thought I was joking and pretending so he brought the pet snake over to me and put it near my neck and I had to threaten to phone the police (!) unless he stopped. And he kept going and I phoned the police (999 or 911 I don't know) and then he stopped before I needed to speak.

Rushed back to the flat in my mind mentally going through the email I wanted to write and send before midnight my time so friend would maybe receive it before the morning their time (so guessing I was back in USA) but when I got back to the flats, all chaos was breaking loose as the baby had been born. Her last. A girl they had named Myra. Which they had no idea of the association of the name in Britain and I wasn't about to tell them. Just 30 minutes later the mum was dressed in a skirt and stood around talking to her friends -ecstatic she had had a girl.

My kids were still up as the old neighbour with the listener had fallen asleep. It took forever to calm them down and get them to sleep.

Then another friend arrived; the single mom of one of Bee's friends from a few years ago, saying she had no money at all and she needed to ask me to make a packed lunch for her little girl for school tomorrow and that she was a very very fussy eater. I didn't have much in as I explained that I didn't do packed lunch for my kids any more. I showed her everything I had but her little girl turned her nose up at most of it. Then they started finding things in my cupboard well past their sell by date and I was mortified! In the end I made her a sandwich full of just 100s and 1000s as that was all we could agree on. They then left and I was finally ready to sit down and write me email when hubby came barging in saying one of the neighbours had phoned and tipped him off that I had been out and left the kids and what the hell was I playing at.

And that is when, in real life, he phoned and my dream stopped.

Not sure anyone still reads my blog full of gibberish but even for me this was really quite gaga.

Having said all that I really did have a very good night's sleep!
