Can't Hardly Wait

Recently I dreamt that it was the first day of school, and I had somehow been duped into teaching first grade again, which is a huge no-no in itself. But furthermore, classes were to be held in my parents' backyard, pre-addition of their large covered patio and pre-removal of our childhood swingset. However, the yard was fenced in, which actually happened just in the last couple of years, creating a glaring anachronism.

Anyhow, just when the children were all positioned on the swingset and ready to start gettin' learned, my Dad came out the back door and pulled down my McGruff the Drug Dog puppet from his place hanging on a nail in the wall. Being a puppet, he had a hollow head, which we unfortunately found to be full of wasps--at least a thousand of them, I'd guess. The children and I all took off running, but alas, I got stung on the wrist as we made it out the back gate.

I've had a lot of very strange dreams lately, but the possibility of this one being some sort of warning to me is rather disturbing.

haha..woow. That is a very weird dream. I'm not sure how you would take that as a warning though. It seems more like a mix of your excitment for wanting to move and teach mixed in with the horror of living here.....plus wasps..lol.
