THE Phone Call

So, yesterday I was chillin’ on the couch while Bubba was napping and I was obtaining further education on how to run a successful consulting business, when all of a sudden the phone rang.  I glanced down to see who it was, figuring it was Hubby annoying me being super sweet calling just to say ‘Hi!’

But when I glanced down, instead I saw this (sorry it’s fuzzy):

AHHHHH!!!!!!

The baby’s coming! Ladybub is on her way!  Woohoo!

I have been WAITING for this call and it finally came.  Needless to say, I was excited!

So, I pick up the phone all excited and say “Hello?????”

Dogs barking.

“Brandi?????”

Dogs Barking and Baby gibberish.

“What’s going on?”  I think to myself….

Oh my goodness, Brandi’s in labor, she can’t get a hold of Daddy Bub, the older boys are outside playing and don’t even know their mom is having a baby and the only one she could think of calling was her TWIN, but she’s having such bad contractions that she can’t talk, so she hit my name in her phone so Baby Bub could let me know Ladybub was coming!!!  That has to be it!

“BRANDI????”

“Yes?” She finally answers.

Oh good, she can talk now, she must be in between contractions.

“Brandi?!!!” I say again in case she isn’t fully coherent.

“Yes????” she says again, although this time there is a ‘Duh!’ sound in her voice.  Not so friendly anymore.  Not cool.

“Well, hey Brandi, this is Kari Newsom…I think your baby just called me…”

And so went the explanation of what happened which you can read on her post here.

Was I a little disappointed that she wasn’t in labor? Sort of.

Was I a little disappointed that she didn’t seem too happy to be talking to me at first?  Um, yea!

Was I a little bummed that this wasn’t THE phone call I’ve been anxiously waiting for.  Well, duh!

Was I overly excited to FINALLY hear the voice of my TWIN that I’ve known for almost 2 years in bloggy land – but have never held an actual phone conversation with?

OF COURSE!!!!!

I was elated to say the least.  How fun that Baby Bub was messing with her phone and called ME of all people.

*Sigh*

And guess what – she has a MAJOR accent!  Haha!  I love it!

She probably thought I sounded like a typical white girl.  If only Coloradans had some sort of a cool accent too!

So, still no Ladybub.

But that’s okay – I got to talk with Brandi and that was enough to make my day that much brighter!

Thanks, TWIN!

Just don’t call me again until the little girl is on her way out – kapeesh????!!!!!

Until then, I will wait!

A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
