Guest guest Posted September 28, 2001 Report Share Posted September 28, 2001 Hi all Sorry to do this on Chris' List, but since I killed my own 2, I've decided to share this with YOU lucky people! :-) As most of you know, I'm 8 months pregnant. Also as some of you know my husband is an Electronic Design Engineer in Silicon Valley. Well, the company he works for is a solid little company. There have been no layoffs etc. In FACT, it's been just the opposite, Stocks going up (until Sept 11. anyway), awards coming left and right. In other words, no reason to worry. Especially for The Husband, he's THE expert in what he does for this company and they need him. He's been his same old self, no changes etc, no worries etc. Well, the past couple of day's I've been in panic mode (sort of and quietly). I've been thinking things like NOW would NOT be a good time for him to lose his job, we need the insurance, only another month till the baby is due etc., CHANGE IS NOT GOOD! I have been convinced that SOMETHING was going to happen. This morning coincidence nodded his/her head. CHANGE IS NOT ALWAYS BAD! His company is merging with another bigger company! Talk about WHOA! The whole thing was decided last night...Even husband was FLOORED. It's been a long time since I've had a " hunch " about something. I think it must be due to the pregnancy. I used to have them alot in my teens. It used to freak me out. Then for YEARS nothing. I thought I had " lost " the freakies (usually about bad or stupid things, so I wasn't sorry to see them go). A LITTLE about the Freakies...they run in the family, through the Scotch/Irish side of the family. Some people call it " the Gift " . Me, I like to call them " the Freakies " . Mine USUALLY come through dreams and are totally useless, because the dream is almost ALWAYS forgotten until the event happens. Then there is like a click, and the dream and the event slide together. Once in a while, (Like when my brother sliced his arm open on a trip to Canada, or when the puppy had a hole in his heart) I 'know " . Well, I don't know if I'm glad to see that I haven't completely lost the freakies or not, but I expect it will disappear again after the baby is born. Enough about the freakies, sorry for boring you. Wait till my MOTHER hears THIS one...LOLOL. Cosmically! Kathleen Petrides SmeLLeNNiuM: 101 Aromatic Stories http://www.101aromas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Hi Kathleen, What " 2 of your own " did you kill? I am very glad Hubby's job is secure and things appear to be going good. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in with all the big changes going on. Had friends (yes I do have more than one) that were involved in a thriving computer business down there and then all of a sudden it was over.... Actually, after all the dust cleared it was the best thing for them, they moved out of the state to a nice rural community and are now happy as larks. " The Gift " is a privilege and a great thing to have, be glad about it.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Kathleen: Glad you posted about the 'freakies'. I have had those for years and would about freak out when some of the dreams happened. I don't call it a gift either. I thought I was just having intellectual overloads. LOL Thanks for everything, you are one heck of a woman. Hope your child birth goes great (if a person can say great or ow, ow, ow). Best to you, Love Effie Kathleen Petrides <petrides5 Friday, September 28, 2001 11:46 AM Freaking myself out!/OT >Hi all > >Sorry to do this on Chris' List, but since I killed my own 2, I've decided >to share this with YOU lucky people! :-) > >As most of you know, I'm 8 months pregnant.
