"Missed the final" dream

I have had variations on ALL of the above-described dreams. However, I lived through what I call the maternity version of the “not prepared for the final exam” dream–when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with DS–in the days before cell phones, and when only doctors had beepers–my water broke. I was at work and like an idiot I drove myself home. It was New Year’s Eve day, and DH had taken the day off to shop for marble countertops for the bathroom we were renovating for the new baby. I called 4 or 5 friends to drive me to the hospital, none of whom were home, until I finally got one friend who hung up on me in her haste to get in her car and come get me.

I had to leave a note on the back door for DH that I was at the hospital! My friend stayed with me for about 3 hours until DH came home, saw the note, practically had a heart attack and raced to the hospital.

It was all good–DS is 25, working in a job he likes and off the payroll.
