The Beginning of the End

I have been smoking for 8 years now.  I was smoking a pack and a half a day at my peak and now that I have 2 kids I need to quit.  I started a Chantix regiment on 2/20/10 and officially had my last cigarette on 3/6/11.  I am sure many of you have seen that Chantix commercials where it says that one of the side effects is " Vivid Dreams".  It is true!!!  Ever since I have started the 2mg dose of Chantix night time has been very strange.  After telling one of my co-workers about a couple of my dreams she said that I needed to blog about it to allow her to read these crazy dreams daily. 

One of the first crazy dreams that I had was on presidents day (fitting for the dream).  I don't remember it perfectly but here is what I do remember.  It was a summer afternoon and I was at my mother's house.  She lives out in the country with a small stream in the front yard, that is not deep enough to swim in.  However the strange thing in the dream was that the stream was as deep as a river but still narrow like her stream.  The water was also perfectly clear as if it was in a swimming pool.  To top it off I was swimming with George W. Bush!!!  I do not remember most of the detail to that dream i guess since it was so long ago.  But from here on out I am going to be writing it down or posting it right away.
