Seriously people why does it seem like when it rains it pours? I know I shouldn't complain, there are people in the world who have it far worse than I do. My family is relatively healthy, if you count 4-5 poopy diapers a day for three weeks as healthy(more on that later). I still have a job, Dave still has a job... life is pretty good overall, but sometimes it's just not fair. And generally I would have to say I don't have anyone to blame but myself!
This was what hit me when 2 days ago, once again, my poor phone winds up ruined, swimming in my sink full of dirty dishes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh! Are you kidding me? I watched it in slo-mo bounce off of the counter thru my not quick enough hands and splash! bottom of the sink- I quickly fished it out. Battery off immediately, drying with a towel, blowing water frantically out of all nooks and crannys. Straight into a bowl of rice! What you say? That's right, uncooked rice! Now the reason I say "once again" is this is not the first time for me. this year. Can you believe I dropped prettier version of same phone outside in the gutter, after the sprinklers had watered my lawn and half the street only this past February? I kicked it out,and Katelyn trying to help me fetch it, ran up and kicked it right back in the water. I did not know all of above tricks to try and when phone rang i answered it and talked until it crackled, sputtered and died. I really like my fancy keyboard, so ez to text, fun little phone and no free new phone until December they said when I called, too much money to justify buying new phone and so I had to go back to my "ghetto razor". It was soooo sad. Texting without keyboard? ugh.
Well a few months go by, I hate life a bit but make it work and then a friend of mine saves my poor texting life when she switches phone carriers and bequeths me her old phone (exact same as mine!). I am feeling all sassy again, life is grand. until splash, kerplunk, blubbbb blubbbb NOOOOOOOOOOO! 2 days go by, we put phone outside, we put phone in rice . We put phone outside in bowl of rice and don't touch it. Turn on sad little "ghetto razor" phone again. boo hoo hoo.

This morning I have hope in my heart again. I got up, took charger into kitchen and dug phone and battery out of rice,plugged phone in without battery and it came right on saying "battery required". They say the battery is usually fried for sure...but what the heck I give it a go. As of right now phone works! texting works! the only thing not working so great is the front outside keys get a little crazy and misdial a number here and there. Hallelujah!!! But maybe I should call and get some insurance????? or a waterproof phone...
set off fireworks on the 4th, 
and mom got an awesome facial!We even participated in a Tea Party march.
Just don't fly standby on a holiday, plan on driving anyway... We played with our playgroup friends at a splashpad 
& went to a children's museum. 
We went to a few birthday parties and played at the pool at our gym to stay cool. 
We also had a Pioneer day celebration and parade.
Then it was time to meet our 1st grade teacher and we found out lots of last years friends are in the same class,yay! 
First day of school was oh so exciting! 
She handled it like a pro, me not so much. "Does she know where to go?", "it's different playground from kindergarten" and "how will she find her teacher?" It's ok Mom, breathe ! lol :)
She looks too grown up to me, all legs and ideas of her own. Man, where does the time go? I swear if some boy shows up for a date next week, I will lock her in the closet until she's 25. So I do like her hair and most importantly so does she. "But I'm never cutting it again and it will look like Rapunzel" she says. Maybe she heard that locked in the closet comment?
