not another dream!

It's the ones that seems important, or uninterpretable, that I want to write down.  So :p

My dream was watching my son follow in my footsteps, literally, and forget to do his own life.  Him and I were at his school.  There were things I needed to take care of I guess, because I was staying there and walking around his campus, trying to find teachers and such... and Gabriel was staying with me.  Sooner than later it was after noon, after their lunch time, and he was still with me, and I was actually waiting in a line to talk to his teacher, when she saw him in line and called him over to inquire why he wasn't in class.  It all sort of shocked me then, I guess I wasn't really paying attention to his needs or his schedule.  He wanted to hang with me and I didn't mind that at all.  Realizing that I had been so wrapped up in my to do's that I had completely not paid attention to making sure HE took care of HIS to do's... it was just strange.  I felt dirty, like a bad parent who has been called out.

So that was not a fun dream!  Who wants to dream about being a selfish, self absorbed parent??
