The other day I was at a beach, and the sea looked absolutely beautiful and shimmering and warm, so of course I took off my clothes and headed for the water.On my way there, I noticed a duck-billed platypus heading toward me at super-platypus speed. I thought it was cute at first, but then it totally attacked me, and started biting my arm to shreds. I tried to shake it off, but it was a persistent little bugger. I was starting to fear that I would lose a limb, so I knew the only way to fight it was to kick with all my might.
I woke up to my very bewildered husband shouting, "OUCH! Stop kicking me!" Apparently I haven't mastered the art of sharing my bed with another human and need to work on my manners a bit.

Ha ha ha. Bryn just asked me why I was laughing and I simply said, "Laura." And she replied, "Oh." A few seconds later she laughed to herself and said, "she is pretty funny."
Ha, ha. It takes a while to get used to.
I'm very sorry to hear your arm was injured, though. Hopefully, your handsome, doctor-type husband can fix it right up!
Oh goodness, the things we dream when pregnant. The craziest stuff ever! Tell Tim he may want to protect himself. Maybe a cup? :-)
We must be related. . . even if not by blood! I have scored many soccer goals in my sleep only to wake to Darin saying, "Ouch!" as I kick him repeatedly. I also once made an awesome chest pass with a basketball only to realize after the "ball" had left my hands, that it was actually my infant daughter. Ahem. I didn't let her sleep with us anymore after that. Good luck, Tim!
ha ha ha. I was wondering how you found a duckbill platypus in the middle of your balmy Boston winter. It all makes sense now!!!!
:) You're eating too much peanut butter before you go to sleep. That peanut butter is a sure-fire way of getting dreams (or nightmares). Glad it isn't a true story outside of your dreams. What would we do if there were real attack platypus here in New England?
I must admit that I have never dreamed of a duck-billed platypus. That is probably because I don't ever really go to sleep. I just pretend I do! However, with exciting dreams like this one, I may just try it! Hang tough, Tim!
Oh my.
Tell Tim that his turn might just be around the corner. I think men can get weird dreams from the idea of the huge change bringing a child into the world as well. Like a couple of months ago, Rob was dreaming about that made him think we needed to leave someplace quickly, and I woke up to him literally trying to push me out of bed! Luckily, I wasn't so big yet that I still had some mobility left and managed to not fall on the floor! He was so out that I had to actually get out of bed and go stand by him to get him to wake up enough to let it go. But, he still didn't remember a thing the next morning!
