I got a new phone. Please don’t call me on it. Ever.

April 16, 2014 by not your average mom 6 Comments

Yesterday I spent all afternoon cleaning my room.

It had been a while.

Clothes.

Dust.

It was a disaster.

And Mo can vouch for that.

It was so bad I even washed the curtains.

And the dustruffle.

So today was a little crazy.

I had some catching up to do.

I had to workout.

I had a post planned, but I just couldn’t get to it.

Everything was taking longer than I thought it would.

And yesterday I dropped my phone for like the 97th time.

My screen has been shattered for a while now, but yesterday’s drop put it over the edge.

So adding getting a new phone into the mix kind of threw a wrench into things.

A little bit after 4 p.m., as I was finally about to sit down at the computer, the phone rang.

My phone has been ringing for the past 36 hours, but since I completely broke the screen, I haven’t been able to answer it.

I figured now that I had a new phone, I’d better take the call.

I thought the call was from one person.

But it was totally a different person.

Had I known who it was, I probably wouldn’t have answered the call.

Now I couldn’t hang up.

It turned into quite a conversation.

Thirty nine minutes long.

I need to tell you about it.

But that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Because as I got off the phone, I heard giggling.

Laughing.

Stomping.

Water.

Water running?

Water. Running.

And then,

I smelled something.

Baby powder.

Shit.

WATER RUNNING?

BABY POWDER???

GIGGLING???

WHERE THE FUCK ARE NUMBER 6 AND 7???

I followed the smell of the powder.

When I got to my room, there were plumes of powder clouds shooting out from underneath my door.

I thought about just turning around and making a run for it.

But I opened the door.

And found this:

    Wow. It took me to the third picture to realize that it wasn’t carpet! (To be fair I’m reading on my iPod, but still).
    Thanks for writing, I love all the stories.
