the dream

I had this dream...

I was driving when I crashed into a guardrail. (I was alone in the car, so you know it had to be a dream.) Anyway...it was a nasty crash. The car flipped several times before landing vertically, nose of the car in the ground. A woman ran over and asked me if I was okay. She let me know someone else had already called 911. So I waited. I heard the sirens getting closer. I wasn't sure how badly I was hurt. When the ambulance arrived at the scene, the emergency workers freed me from the car, loaded me on a backboard and zipped me away. The whole time they were working I tried not to smile. All I could think about was how I was going to get to stay in the hospital and get some sleep.

And then Canon started banging at her door, signaling nap time was over. One can dream.

Alex worked from home today and somehow we all ended up on the couch together. Since everyone was together and sitting still, we whipped out the camera. In my house, opportunities to get a family picture are few and far between.

Great family portrait. Lately, I realized I have very few pictures of Dan and me. I got lazy. Now that it's on the brain, I remembered to take a pic yesterday on our walk home from the Brazil-USA futbol match at Soldier Field. It really doesn't matter where it is - family pics are priceless!
