Dreams……… what do they mean part II
Family July 30th, 2008After I posted part I the other night, my daughter L was crying in the middle of the night. She said she was scarred because her dream was about our house on fire. I held her for a while to calm her down and told her the house was fine and to try to go back to sleep. Well I am sure that you all heard about the earthquake in California yesterday afternoon. My two older kids were out there, and even though they are ok I still wanted them home asap. I had turned on CNN for more news on it and they showed LAX airport and that although all flights were not canceled there was a water pipe that burst and they showed all the water on the floor, well right along with that I saw the area that had water damage was the United terminal in which my kids would be at this morning! It couldn’t be American Airlines, Southwest Airlines or even Quantas! NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO it had to be United. I thought to myself is this yet another sign of something bad happening? Last night L started crying yet again and I asked her what was wrong and she replied “every time I close my eyes I see our house burning!”. I assured her that the house was fine and that nothing was going to happen. But hell I was freakin’ out because I do I know that something won’t happen as far as the house burning down? Was this yet another sign that maybe something will happen to the plane my kids will be on? GOD I hope not. Yes call me paranoid but just know that I was never like this until I had children. I hate feeling like this all the time but I can’t help it. The flight was delayed 30 minutes so far, I just hope they take off soon, and until they are in my arms I will be a mess!

I’m praying to St. Christopher for safe travels and that your babies are back home soon.

Lord I haven’t watched the news!
Your babes will have a safe trip because your love is the greatest protection.
Maybe L needs to look around the house and see that it is safe and you can show her the fire alarm that protects the house from being hurt. That is what someone at work did when they were afraid. Maybe she saw something on t.v. or heard someone talking about it. Does she say why is thinking of fire?
Maybe if she does a “fire check” she might feel better and think “I’m protecting the house and family”… all the things we do to soothe our little ones

good idea Meri, I will do that with her tonight before she goes to bed. She slept ok last night so maybe it was something she saw on tv.
