Yesterday was a bad day.  Well, not compared to some people's bad days, but today is better.  My cell phone finally crumbled a month ago.  I had to replace it.  The new one was slender and sleek and hard to find in my purse.  I was doing my Saturday morning shopping yesterday and I was talking to Angela in K-Mart, went straight to Winn Dixie from there.  I was going to call Candace about something on my grocery list and ...no phone.  I think when I slipped it into my purse, it fell into the cart.  When I got home I tried calling it, thinking it maight be in my car.  It went straight to voice mail without riniging.  The phone company wouldn't tell me the last call made or received on MY OWN PHONE!  It is obvious someone found it and turned it off immediately and probably slipped their sim card into my new phone.  I suspended the service so they can't run my bill up.  But now, I have none of my stored numbers and when people call, they get a recording that "the caller is not taking calls".  I retraced my steps and left my home phone number at both stores.  But the fact that it was already turned off tells me there is a dishonest person running around without a conscience. So, if you are reading this and you have tried to call me, no I am not refusing calls and no I don't have anyone's number memorized.  So please private message me with your numbers.  I got home and Kaya has learned to open the top and bottom of her crate and lock it back.  She was out and I was going to get all over Candace for leaving her out, she chewed up a few things.  I put her up and before I could get to the door she came dancing into the living room.  I went and looked and her crate was locked.  She is mad becuase I am gone from 7am to 9 pm on two days.  Candace works at night, so she is in the crate longer than she likes.  But the little snreak was smart enough to lock it back to cover her tracks!  Now I push something up against it and she can't get out.  I miss getting my Dallas.  Tutoring is over Feb. 23rd, so I can start back getting him.  They start FCAT camp then, which I am not doing.  I spent the afternoon yesterday being angry at some stranger and a smart dog.  This morning in church I prayed for forgiveness to the person with my phone and felt bad for letting something material rob me of my joy.  So today I am at peace....but I still need folks #'s.  My insurance on trhe phone will replace my phone, minus 50 bucks.  I won't get it until Tuesday.  But I am grateful today for peace of mind. 

P.S.  Dan and Dallas stopped by one afternoon for a minute....and we had to read a book.

Five minutes wasn't long enough!
