48 hours

My family makes fun of me a LOT because of my infatuation with the latest and greatest in technology. I super big puffy heart my iPhone, and by the time this posts, I will have been without it for 48 hours. After 24 hours, my brother made the comment that he was surprised I was even surviving! I own a Macbook Pro, a Nook color, and I love them all. I really want an iPad but hubs doesn't think it is a necessity....

Truth be told, it has been tough being without my phone. I have a written planner but I keep a lot of information in my phone as well. I use it as a watch, to keep up on e-mails when I am out and about all day, morning conversations with my bff, and to keep Brayden entertained if we are out to eat.

The worst of it has been that a lot of other things in the house have gone out (the oven element, the HD channels, our desktop computer) so when I am home, I can't even handle those things because we don't have a land line. And by the time Brandon gets home from work, it's too late to call! Luckily, I did remember to call about the oven yesterday- I am still waiting on that. But the TV thing will just have to wait.And I am ok with that.

Slowly but surely this week, I am starting to be ok with the cards life has dealt. And in the big scheme, these are very, very insignificant cards. I am really having to rely on God this week to keep my attitude in check, my emotions in check, and my words carefully chosen.

Luckily, Brayden has been an absolute angel through this week and has been TONS of fun- I am soaking it up, and knowing in the back of my head that THESE are the things that life is made of. I can't wait for more moments with him.
