Hotel room

I was in a very large hotel room with my twins and a friend's daughter who is only 2 weeks younger than then twins. I was trying to keep an eye on them but naturally the three of them went in opposite directions. Then a whole bunch of adults showed up that I had never met before. They were all complaining about where we were all going to sleep.

Grandma's house again

My parents and my husband and kids and I went to live at my Grandmother's house. The kids were wandering all over the house and I was annoyed that no one was watching them (not sure why *I* wasn't watching them but this IS a dream). We didn't have any place for them to sleep. My daughter fell asleep in a laundry basket and then I figured I could hold my son and sleep with him.

Oh, I just realized this is another dream about me being solely responsible for the kids even though I have a lot of family around...hmmm.

Toilet

I was in a public bathroom and clogged up the toilet. Not only was it clogged but it was spurting out of the toilet and getting all over me. I was so grossed out.

Crib

I had a dream that I woke up from a nap to the sound of my daughter walking out of her room. I flew out of bed because I knew there was no way she could get out of her crib. I ran to her and scooped her up asking her how on earth she got out of her crib. I went into their room and her brother was in HER crib! The only thing I could think of was that my husband had come home while I was sleeping and moved them around.

Oprah and eggs

background 1:  I make eggs for breakfast every single day so I'm always buying eggs at the grocery store.  I'm not a freak about the quality of the eggs in the container I buy but I do quickly check to make sure none of them are broken.

background 2:  I watch Oprah maybe once every couple weeks.  I'm not obsessed with her by any means but I do find her show entertaining every once in a while.

My dream:  I had a recipe that I needed 6 eggs for.  The day I was going to the grocery store to get them was Easter so I knew it was possible for the eggs to be gone.  When I got to the egg section there were containers strewn about most of which were only half full of good eggs.  So I decided I would take eggs from different container to make one full container.  I was looking through all of them and only finding cracked or tiny or filthy dirty eggs.  I was there for a very long time trying to gather 6 good eggs.  I wasn't happy with what I got but I really had looked at all of my options and this was the best I was going to be able to do.

When I got in line, Oprah was in front of me.  I HAD to try to make conversation with her so I showed her my pathetic collection of eggs and she was very nice and commiserated with me.  There were two other black women in back of me.  They kept trying to cut in front of me to get near Oprah.  She had already arranged to pay for these ladies' groceries.  She and I continued to chat about a topic that had been on her show recently and how I wasn't happy about it.  

I had put my eggs down on the belt and the cashier rang it up with the other ladies' things.  I said "Oh no!  My eggs were with their stuff!" and Oprah said, "Don't worry about it, I got it."  She and I walked out to the parking lot together chatting the whole way.  Once we got to our cars I realized I didn't have my eggs!!!  Oprah said she'd go back in and see if they were still at the checkout.  She started literally hurdling over cars to get back to the store.  That's all I remember.

The whole dream was very strange.
