We interrupt this chronic illness blog for a word from our sponsor: humor.  Something happened recently that I thought you all would get a kick out of because it’s both weird and funny.

So the other night I dreamed that my dh, children and I drove to some huge mall I didn’t recognize in an area I didn’t know.  Now that’s not saying much as we’ve only lived here a few months and it takes me 900 years to get to know an area.  I get lost backing out of my own driveway, forget my own name and have a hard time recognizing my living room.  But I digress…

So in the dream, I got separated from my family and ended up lost in the huge mall by myself unable to call my dh because my cell phone (a 1995 vintage phone) didn’t work.  It got dark, my dh never came back for me and the mall closed with me still in it.  After waking up, I was still kind of upset with my dh for leaving me in Dream Mall the entire night.

That morning, I told my tale of mall woe to my dh who said he’d had an odd dream as well. In his dream, he and our two young daughters (we actually have one married dd and a teenage son) were trying to get into an outdoor Walmart to buy some food. The girls were hungry because I didn’t feed them that day.  He had to enter some kind of key coded gate, but upon entering, he was unable to get to the check out with his food.  He told me that upon waking up, he was still upset with me for not feeding our two young daughters all day.

I informed him that I couldn’t have fed them because he LEFT ME AT THE MALL!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.  Have you ever had a dream that seemed to go hand in hand with your spouse’s dream?  Do tell!
