Snakes In My Motherfucking head

Last night I tried very hard to go asleep because I knew that in the morning not only would I have to wake up, I had to STAY awake. See, on any normal day, My eight year old makes breakfast for the two younger boys and makes the school lunches. their clothes are picked out for them the night before, so they can get dressed on their own as well. I wake up with enough time to double check lunches, make sure they have not put each others clothing on by mistake - which has happened more than once. (a lot more)

I also do not believe they should walk out the door without an I Love You and a kiss. But. After that? Stuperman picks out a movie, I pop it in the bedroom TV and he watches while I sleep. I PPH sleep. I’d have it’s babies, so long as I could sleep through procreation.

Anyway. Last night I tried to sleep, which, if you want to be technical, actually falling asleep was NOT the problem. The problem was staying asleep. All night long I was plagued with nightmares. I woke up too many times to count with my heart pounding, sweaty, and one time, I was crying. Each time, I was sure the dream was over,  So I would lay back down to sleep, but the nightmare would begin exactly where it had left off when I woke up the last time!

This afternoon in the car on the way home from picking up Blue Boy’s new mattress, I complained to hubs that I had not slept well, and explained about my nightmare. At that point all that I could recall, other than it was very scary, was that there were millions of snakes. But, almost every single one was the length and thickness of a piece of spaghetti. And the spaghetti snakes were clear. It doesn’t sound scary now, but it was. I swear.

It should not have surprised me though, that when I asked Hubs a few minutes later what he wanted for Supper, He said Spaghetti. Fucker. Then again, the fact that I punched him, shouldn’t have come as such a  surprise to him either!

  1. Weird - especially since I thought you didn’t really have a phobia about snakes. Makes it doubly weird.

  3. Clear snakes? Pretty scary.

    I can’t wait until my kids are (somewhat) self-sufficent, so I can remember what sleep is.

  4. Snakes are fear of some threat in our life. If we navigate them successfully in our dream, we are confident that we can weather the storm, so to speak.

  6. When you have nightmares, you should try to counter it by dreaming about sodomizing me with a strap-on.

  7. Geez. Fab stole my comment. I was going to tell you to think about sodomizing him with a strap-on. So when you do, imagine that you “forgot” the lube.

  10. Clearly you are afraid of penises. Try lesbianism for a while.

  11. Well, I’d say you’re afraid of SMALL, spaghetti-sized penises–and let’s be honest here; they wouldn’t be ANYBODY’S first choice.
    Heh!

  12. @Sheila - Thats just it! I do not fear snakes, well. maybe if I saw a viper in the wild, I would be scared, but run of the mill snakes? they are cute!

    @Tori - he has only been doing it since April, but I love the extra sleep!

    @Lexi - And see, this is the point I try to make when people say “Oh but don’t you want a daughter??!” HELL NO. why would I go back to diapers and midnight feedings and terrible two tantrums just for some ruffled panties and a pair of mary janes??! (besides, I have a sweet niece to spoil!)

    @Absurdist - well damn. i failed that dream challenge then. Am I going to be voted off?

    @Robin - They sure do not, and i sure did!

    @Mr. Fabulous - Well, I guess I could do that. Do you have a strap on color preference?

    @Finn - better yet, instead of forgetting the lube, I will “accidentally” grab some ben gay!

    @DeeJay - Plus! He lets me wear his shirts!

    @Shelli - Why does it always seem o happen on the nights when you know you NEED to sleep? Thats what I want to know!

    @Avitable - Thats a damn good idea. Can I borrow your wife?

    @phinz - Thanks for such a great explanation!Whew. Its nice to know that in real life I will never have to face my nightmare!
