Jun. 25, 2008 - Can't Believe I Did That! :)
Have you ever had days where you know God has a sense of humor and wants to use laughter to break the stress?
To be honest, I have been feeling a lot of stress over the unknown. We're so close to being done with the house. They're saying by Friday - but there's still stuff to be done. (Of course there's stuff left - otherwise they'd be done now and not Friday). 
I don't know yet when exactly we're moving, if we're packing ourselves or hiring a moving company, etc. I'm not, by nature, a patient person. (My husband, I'm sure, would put in a big amen.) :) But I know God's working on that and using all the circumstances for good. He's got it all in His hands - I just sometimes get ahead of myself trying to figure it all out.
Anyway, yesterday morning I went over to the house to wait on the cable guy. (We were getting it installed early so that he'd be done with the attic by today when they're scheduled to blow in the insulation.) My cell phone belt clip broke a couple weeks ago, so I had it in my front pocket. Nature called and, midflush, the phone fell out of my pocket and was flushed down the toilet!!!! I heard it hit, turned, & saw it disappear. I tried to rescue it. No luck. Next I tried to pull myself together - I couldn't believe it and had to laugh (and laugh and laugh). I went to a neighbor to borrow a phone and call my honey to fill him in. He told me I had to be making this up; I assured him I wasn't that imaginative! The funny thing - I could hear the phone vibrating in the toilet and, when my honey called the number to see what would happen, he got a recording that they were trying to locate me!!! 
Long story short, the plumber who happened to be working on our house yesterday tried to reach it with a tool, felt it, but couldn't pull it up. (So now I'm learning humility along with patience!) Luckily though, the plumber pushed it on through in the process. My husband uninstalled he toilet last night and it wasn't stuck in it - glad we don't have to buy a new toilet since it was brand new. Tonight we hope to install the toilet again and today I hope to go get a new cell phone. Meanwhile, if you call my cell phone and get a message that they're trying to locate me - you'll know why! :)
