We can but hope

O4 calls Yesterday afternoon (Monday) to tell me to call home on the landline because she things she’s lost her mobile. Somewhere in all the running around doing the Mum thing she can’t recall where she’s put the phone, or whether the phone fell out of her pocket or … A little stressed she offers that I can go ahead and get a new phone and I give her my old phone.

Woo hooo, YES!!

Just in time for the new iPhone (July 11) not!

Hmm, thinking to myself that I’m spending some time tonight on eBay looking for that great deal of a phone.

You know how it is living with little munchkins (kids.) Things just go disappearing for days, weeks and even months (years?) O4 picks me up from work and we’re still stressed about losing the phone (the implied waste of money.) Wohoo, new phone here i come.

We get home, and I take my back to the home-office and put it down. Smiling up from the desk is my new phone, not! O4’s phone had between the time she came to pick-me up and we got home, had walked into the office and sat on the desk.

Of course the kids are oblivious to the stress in looking for the phone.

We can but hope.
