We pay about $20 every three months per phone. We also use Ooma for our home phone, so we get unlimited local and long distance calls for $3/month. While I think it would be cool to have a smart phone, I've never had one, so it's easy to go without one. And I kind of love that I can't check e-mail and everything else in the world when I'm out. I love only being able to be reached by a handful of people (the ones we give our cell numbers to) when I'm out and then being able to chat for a long time without having to worry about pricey phone bills when I'm home.<br /><br />Sorry you had a rough time though.

He works hard as do you. Student life is difficult and you also are in the throws of having your family at its youngest. <br /><br />I'm glad you can cry sometimes and feel alright about it, it's a great way to help burdens become just a little lighter. It is just a season that will come to its close too I'm sure sooner than later and you'll look back and think "how has it been so long, since those times." <br /><br />I like your attitude though for sure. Most of the time I really try to stay positive for me my children and my husband. I mostly tell my husband we have great days, (despite kinks here and there throughout the day) but there are some days when I just say, "it was hard, annoying, and I got angry at the kids." It's life and it happens. <br /><br />You're doing great, you are blessed and it's nice to follow and rejoice in your blessings with you. Take good care,<br /><br />ShaunaShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569615918273530663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274899368014541890.post-39694706837455040302012-04-21T13:14:19.242-04:002012-04-21T13:14:19.242-04:00I needed to read this and feel of your optimism.

I do hear ya with the student life thing though. Our recent trip was the first we've taken in 8 years, and it was so foreign to us it almost felt entirely selfish, although I know it's not. I'm sorry though for what ever setbacks you did have.

I couldn't go a day with out crying but I am a sap and cry at commercials and youtube videos. <br /><br />Scott works crazy overtime all the time, thats why I have been trying to find mama groups (and I've gone to some) in the area so I can feel more "busy" and also have Judah get his wiggles out and wear himself out playing with other kids. I hope this is a short season for us both, where we can have our hubbies around us a bit more <br /><br />xoxoMycharmingcolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546056836938625454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274899368014541890.post-89479748754032270822012-04-20T16:34:19.994-04:002012-04-20T16:34:19.994-04:00We all have those moments!
