Music soothes my soul. It the one thing that can determine my mood and change my mood. I love it all. I try to listen all day, everyday to something or other. And if not I be-bop around singing to the music in my head. It’s not just the music aspect of it that I love, it’s the lyrics. I will listen to a song over and over until I know every word and feel confident singing at the top of my lungs. And I get into it. I’m not just singing Alanis Morissette’s “All I Really Want,” I AM Alanis Morisette. (love the lyrics in that song by the way).
So because I love music so much, you can imagine how devastated I am to have had my ipod stolen…..for the second time!
My car was unlocked for a total of 30 minutes. DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE! At 9 am on a Sunday morning! While I was packing our stuff to go to the beach!
When we finally got loaded into the car my center console and dash were torn apart. Parking tickets, baby wipes, bug spray and at least 5 “extra” pairs of sunglasses were strewn all over my front seats. IPOD GONE. Charger GONE. Wine key GONE. Which, incidentally, I am just as upset about; a good wine key is hard to find. What, my pile of thirty Dunkin Donuts napkins wasn’t good enough for you? My febreeze air freshener? My kids toys and all of my camping equipment were still there, thankfully. But my ipod? Complete devastation.
Not only was I upset, but now my kiddo was too.
“Who took it Momma?”
“I don’t know buddy.”
“That’s not very nice of them. You’re not supposed to take other people’s things”
(No shit) “I know, it wasn’t very nice.”
“Are you sad?”
“Yes, buddy, very sad and upset.”
“Lets go look for it.” As he starts turning over his stuffed animals in the back seat and looking under the car.
“I don’t think we’ll find it here. It’s not coming back. It’s gone.”
“Lets go see if the neighbors saw anything Momma.”
(Good Idea!) “Good idea dude!”
Well….you get the idea. No one saw anything. Conversations like this have been going on for almost a week now and bless his little heart, he believes some magic ipod finding fairy is going to put it back right where it belongs. Every time we get in the car he asks “Did you find your ipod Momma?”
No.
It’s NEVER coming back.
And every time we get in the car I am struck with an infuriating rage.
So my options are: Go buy a new ipod (again), $150 bucks I don’t have or go buy an iphone, $300 bucks I also don’t have but I will come up with!
Of course….stupid ATT ignorant, unsympathetic bastards won’t let me. After I spent a good day and a half convincing myself that it was the right thing to do. I would never leave my phone in my car (to get stolen), it would be with me at all times. My digital camera is being held together by duck-tape and the iphone takes better pictures then my camera anyway. Plus I could have the world at my fingertips.
But no.
Damn you car-door-opening-ipod-stealing-theives!
Damn you ATT!
So for now I’m stuck listening to the radio and the Wiggles CD. Too bad the criminals didn’t have a need for highly annoying children’s music.
