On Thursday I took Julianna to her dance class. We were running a bit behind so I decided she'd just get dressed in the bathrooms at dance rather then waste time getting dressed at home. So we get there and we go into the restroom and I set my keys and my cell phone on the floor next to me so that I can help her into her tights...next thing I know I hear "PLOP" and I think, what in the world was that? I look over and realize that Aidan has just plopped my iphone into the bloomin' toilet! Aarrrrgghhh! So I fished it out of the "clean" public toilet, dry it off best I can and then as soon I get Julianna into her class I raced home to put my phone in a bowl of rice to do some drying....
Fast Forward 3 days. I put it on the charger today and it kind of looked like it started but my calendar said it was December 31, 1969! It was ok though because my calendar was there, my contacts, everything EXCEPT that I had no connection. I left it on the charger a little longer and then the darned phone decided to reboot itself for some reason unbeknownest to me and now everything is gone! It's telling me to connect to itunes and that it doesn't have an IMEI number and it will only let me make an "emergency" call.
I've kicked.
I've screamed.
I've cried.
I've pouted.
I've cried some more.
But none of that is making my iPhone work again. :(
I know it seems so ridiculous BUT...10 reason's I'm freaking out about my iPhone being dead:
1. I can't get a new phone until April of next year, that's 6 months!
2. I don't own a home phone so the cell phone is the only way anyone can get a hold of me. When you have 6 kids you can't be without a way for some one to get a hold of you and vice versa. Did I mention I can't get a new phone for 6 months?
3. My calendar! Again 6 kids, 1 husband, 1 very busy momma. Long gone are the days when I carry a Franklin planner around EVERY appointment time, date, meeting, EVERYTHING was in that calendar. EVERYTHING. I guess I'm learning my lesson and I should've had some sort of paper record.
4. My contacts. I've had the same number for 9 years. That's 9 years of contacts. I had DIRECT numbers to all of Brinton's doctors. DIRECT NUMBERS. Do you know how hard it is to have direct numbers to countless specialists? Gone.
5. My ipod...now I can't listen to music when I work out
6. My apps...fun little diversions to keep my little Liam busy while I shopped. Oh well this one isn't so tragic but it was a nice perk.
7. MY CALENDAR!!!!!!!!!!
8. Words with friends and Facebook. Need I say more? And no I don't have countless hours to sit on the computer and play games or surf facebook. That was the great thing about my phone I could play on the go, or update facebook while I was doing something else. Blah!
9. Daily chats with my best friends. I've had the same best friend since I was 14 years old, we text eachother every single day, all through out the day. Now I can't do that anymore. Anyway, even if we didn't text and we actually had long phone conversations like I do with my other friend I can't do that anymore either...I DON'T HAVE A PHONE!
10. I really liked my phone dang it.

I'm so sorry...I wish there was a way I could help you with your problem. Why do you have to wait for 6 months?
What a coincedence. I dropped my phone in the toilet at a restaurant a week ago. Yup, fished it out but damaged was done. My phone was a dumb phone so I wasn't too hurt because it was the excuse I needed to get a smartphone!
If it was a smartphone that went in the toilet, I would be hurting. I feel for yoU!
