infuriating

my life source crapped out on me today. that's right, my PHONE stopped working. the one item i make sure i NEVER leave home without, quit on me. i am saddened to inform you that it was a very dark couple of hours for me. i experienced almost every stage of grief in those few hours. i did everything i could think of to fix my phone. i rebooted it. i resent the service books. i took out the battery and let it sit for awhile. i even reset my account! nothing worked.

i was at my wits end when a thought occurred to me. i see kids everyday throw tantrums and everything always works out for them. what could it hurt? why not...

so... i casually stomped my foot. nothing. i even laughed a little at how stupid i felt. and then i thought, well maybe that wasn't hard enough. so i stomped again. this time with a little more gusto--you know, just to make sure i was doing it right. and then! as if magic! my phone started working again!

see mom. tantrums DO work!
hahaha.

and now, once again, all is right in my world. (grinning)
