No cell service

Yesterday I had the perfect plan-
Nap 9-10
Music class 10-11
Meet my aunt for lunch in West Hartford. Noon

What happened:
We had a long nap (10:30), which was going to make us late for music. I panic getting out the door- Unplug cell phone, clean up from breakfast (I'll wash the dishes later) throw stuff in the diaper bag, throw laundry in the dryer, throw Raviv into the car. Go to call Bil to tell him we're on our way. Where is my phone?

Get Raviv out of the car. Run into the house. Search the counter, search the bedrooms. Can't find phone. Run around the house. Oh, crap, is it in the dryer? Open dryer. Pull out all the clothes. No phone (phew). Still can't find it.

Normally I wouldn't care about not having a phone, but I was going to be crossing state lines and wanted the security of my phone (not in the phone-as-security-blanket way Bil views his, but in the stranded-on-the-highway-with-baby way.)

I try to call it but it is off. That's funny, I always leave it on. Still looking. Notice our milk is on the counter. Go to put it in the fridge, and AHA! The phone is in the fridge. Where the milk should be. Apparently our fridge does not get cell service.

Miss music, but make it to lunch only 10 minutes late.
