A concert in the mall

I dreamed there were some bad storms coming, so we were trying to head out of town, when we remembered we needed to go grocery shopping. We turned around and went back to the mall to go shopping. There was a man outside of Staples selling coupons where you could get anything at Staples for only $5, but we needed groceries, not office supplies. We dropped the kids off at the play area at the mall to play so we could shop. We had Axton with us, too, as well as the cat. Then we remembered we didn't have any money.

We decided that in order to make some money to buy groceries, we would hold a church service in the mall and take up an offering. We began to set up our sound equipment, but then the mall owners told us there were two bands scheduled to play before us and that we would have to wait our turn. The first band was Altared, led by Donny Osmond, and he had the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir singing backup for them. They sang, "We are the World" and I could see Keith and Karen Taylor on the big screen, as well as the outreach pastor from Calvary Temple in Springfield waving around their cell phones in the air.

Since there was standing room only, we decided to go yard sale shopping while we waited. There was a yard sale that had a lot of small appliances in bright colors, and we bought a pink can opener, a yellow fry daddy, and an orange toilet seat for Axton.

Then I realized that we were up next, and I suddenly realized I didn't know where my music was. I hadn't seen it since we'd moved! I asked Axton to go check in the van to see if it was out there, because I couldn't find my shoes, either. I looked all over the house and finally decided to borrow my sister's shoes, but the tongue was hanging on by only a thread. Frustrated, I pulled the entire tongue off the shoe and then ran out to find the music because Axton didn't know where it was. Sure enough, my music was in between the front seats of the van, so I grabbed it and hurried back. I also had to chase the cat all over Walmart because she didn't like being stuck in the cat carrier and we had to let her loose.

I never did get to play, because Erick woke me up.
