Heart Attack

We're at the biggest ward potlock you've ever seen. A woman in our ward arranged for a tent concert with a DJ to celebrate her being cancer free. There are so many people and so much food. I mean food as in somone raided the Bishop's storehouse and brought boxes and boxes of random food. Bergen is in a wrestling type outfit jumping in the bouncehouse but it starts stretching in places it shouldn't be stressing and he asks if he can change. I tell him yes and he runs to a "corner" somewhere and strips down. I yell at Svend to go make sure he's got underwear and shorts on. Svend is annoyed. Why was he wearing that blue get-up in the first place?! Tally is all over the place with her friends and Tabitha is about the same. I've got Brooklyn and we're good. Then the sky turns purple and scary looking. The clouds are doing wierd things. My friend and I are commenting on it and deciding we should probably head out... A traveling skandian group (thank you ranger's apprenctice) comes through and they're putting on a circus act with how strong they are. They soon leave and I start getting worried about the weather and decide we should leave. Everyone else seems to have gotten the clue before us because no one is around our family. I'm gathering the kids and noticed I've now got Tabitha around my hip and not Brooklyn. Where is she? I start looking around and yell to Svend, who is still getting on to Bergen about the ridiculous outfit he was wearing. He hasn't seen Brooklyn. She's a BABY! She can't yell back...she can't even walk away!!!

Suddenly in my mind's eye, I see her. On the back of the traveling weight-lifter's truck... driving a way! I run to their "station" and the lady tells me they have another show at 3:30 and will be back. It's 1pm!!! And they have my baby!!!! I begin yelling at the woman. Is she nuts? Why won't she call them and ask them to check and stop!!!???

I am screaming and crying and about to check out their "tracks" by myself when Tally comes and wakes me up. what? Oh whew!!!

I ask her if her movie's over. Yes. Where's Bergen? I don't know. He ran outside the minute the movie started. WHAT!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!? (Bergen has a tendency to run off especially when he can't see me and thinks I've left rather than crawled up the stairs to take a nap...). How long has he been gone? I don't know. Where did he go? I didn't check.

I throw my flipflops on and run outside. I look around and yell his name once. No response. ERG! Then... I look over and he's sitting in my neighbor's back yard playing with stickers.

My neighbor waves and smiles and tells me he's fine. Good. Oh wow. Oh wow! Lost one in a dream (thank goodness) and one for a minute in real life. Whew.

That's what happens when I take naps during the day! (and read fantasy!)
