So I think that last time I had a full on stress nightmare (wherein your heroine tries desperately to juggle some kind of work or responsibility and fails utterly at the last moment) was three years ago.

Why yes, that would be when I still lived in Japan.

Working at Josai International University in Chiba, I used to have stress dreams on a weekly basis related to teaching. Something like realizing at the last second I was supposed to give a test and trying to make one up on the chalkboard, waking up and realizing it was already noon and I'd missed my classes, you know, your run-of-the-mill teacher stress dreams.

But I haven't had that in a long time.

So last week I had a dream wherein I had agreed to be PTC board volunteer coordinator at girl1's current school (as I am in real life) but at the same time, girl1 was going for first grade to a different school.

And in the dream, I was trying to figure out how I would get girl1 to her completely different and random other school, be coordinator at her current school, and then get girl2 to her Japanese preschool.

I was so very happy to wake from that dream.

I think its a sign that either a) I'm challenging myself with a full plate this semester or b) I'm way in over my head time-commitment wise. c)I obsess unnecessarily about responsibilities.

Let's hope its c). :)
