So DH and I decided that labor day weekend was the big weekend. After the fiasco that was trying to respect my parents call before coming to town rule, we treked the 9.5 hours to my hometown to tell my brothers and grandfather in person. Brothers were stunned but excited, Grandfather was in tears when I showed him the ultrasound (He'll be the only Great-Grand on either side). I wanted to show my mom the ultrasound since she had called me to ask how the dr. appointment went ao I tried calling my parents several times and drove past their house but there were no cars in the driveway (this was Sun and Mon). We left town around 11am Mon headed to stop by a facility that DH is on the board (2 hr drive) for and then home.
About noon I get a call from my mom "Are we expecting a visit from you while you're in town?" Um mom you made it clear that you didn't want to see me and I called but you didn't answer and no one was home. Her response was classic "Well we've been in and out." Hmm...your daughter drives 10 hours (under the impression that you don't want to see her) and you know, because she told you, that she would be short on time and you want a visit but can't bother to let me know when you'll be in?
So then last night I dreamed that I had gone to her house to get some books and things I left there. While I was there she tried to ground me and took away my cell phone, but dh and I anticipated the cell phone thing so I had an old one with me to hand over, and still had mine. I ended up having my cousins help me pack everything into my car, for some reason she didn't take the car keys, and left in the middle of the night. The totally bizarre part was that at some point (not sure when, maybe while she was grounding me) my mom, in the dream, bit me and left a huge hickey on my neck.
Ok so not much that requires comment but I did need to share with someone who would get how disconcerting that dream was.
