Broken cell phone, baby kitties, and my irratation at DH

Yesterday Jamie woke up with a stomach bug so he stayed home. I got up as normal got the house picked up, ironed my clothes and headed out to work. When I got to work I went to text Jamie and tell him that I had made it and that I would call on my lunch. Well as I open my phone my screen fades out and out and out and is gone. So I come inside take the battery out remove the sim card, let it sit for a few minutes reassemble turn it all back on and it still doesn't work. So I call Jamie and tell him that my phone shit the bed and ask if we can go to the T-mobile store when I get home and see what they can do for me. He agrees to this. So I get home change my clothes and we jump in the car. Make a long story short we leave almost an hour later with no phone. I am up for renewal next month but the only thing they could do for me was to have me buy a phone out right and then put my sim card in then phone. I was all for this except the cheapest phone they had was 70 dollars! There is no way that I am paying 70 dollars for a phone that I will use for a month and then is going to sit in a drawer!! So needless to say I was a little pissed off about that.
Fast forward to this morning, I was speaking with one of my co-workers and she was telling me that when her brother broke his phone he was told that if you buy a go phone (prepaid) that the sim card will work in it. So I head to my desk and pull up the tmobile website find a prepaid phone that I can get for FREE after the mail in rebate. SCORE!!! I email DH and tell him about it and I get a response..."Whatever, can we talk about this later please". I'm a little put off but realize that he is probably having a bad day so I respond with "Ok" and let it go. Lunch time rolls around and I call him and he starts asking me about the go phone going on and on about this and that and will it really work blah blah blah. Finally I get fed up and say "Just forget it Jamie, forget I ever said anything". I was irratated because although I can dial and receive calls I can't view my screen and I can't access my phone book! If this was him and his phone we would be searching the ends of the earth to get him a phone and have it in working order. So we go back and forth a few more times: Him - we can talk about it tonight. Me - Will you please just forget I said anything! Him - Well now you are mad. Me - No I'm not I just want you to drop it. So we hang up and I come back from lunch to an e-mail telling me that he talked with someone who has a prepaid and this and that and yes we can go and get you one tonight. I responded with a very short e-mail. "Please just forget I said anything" We will see if he brings it up tonight.
On a much happier note we helped rescue a baby kitten last night. There is a stray mother cat and baby that have been hanging around and some of our neighbors have started feeding them. The mother appears to be pg again and thus pushing the little one away. So after a few conversations we were able to catch him last night. He is soo cute. Our neighbors took him to the cat clinic last night and he will have blood work done in 2 weeks.
Have a happy 4th everyone!!
