Mood:

A couple of dreams here. In the first one I think Leah offers to give me Ben because she doesn't want him anymore and she thinks that I do want a kid. I feel really bad because I really don't want him either. I know she's going to get rid of him if I don't take him, so I'm not quite sure what to do.
Then I'm hanging around with some friends and we're all discussing permanent birth control solutions. Many of them are discussing the Essure method and they all seem pretty interested. Then my friend, Kristen, an old co worker tells us that she has already had the procedure done. I am shocked about this as she is only 23, and I know most doctors will not do the procedure when you are that young and do not already have any children. So I'm asking her how she managed to get it done, and she just said that she had researched all of her options and told her doctor why she had chosen to get it done.
Next Jamie and I are on our trip again. We have just left and have already arrived at our first hotel room. We check in, but then I realize that there are like five other hotel chains at the exact same intersection that we did not check out first. I call the Hampton Inn across the street to see how much a room is. The receptionist asks me how much I'm willing to pay. I tell her $82. She thinks about this and then says okay. I say great, thank her, and hang up. I tell Jamie it's $82 and I start to gather up our things when he stops me and says, "What about this hotel room we already have? If we leave now, we lose the $82 we spent for this room." Oh yeah! I forogt we already had a room! So I say forget it and we stay.
At this point I realize that we didn't bring the book with us of places to visit in America - the book that Jamie got me for our first anniversary. I'm very upset about this as I never want to leave without the book ever again. However, then I realize that I haven't given my mom any kind of feeding instructions for our fish, or even our turtle! She could probably figure out the fish - but having never cared for a turtle, I'm not sure. I'm very upset about this and decide we have to go home to make sure everything is taken care of when I wake up.
