Braces!

I finally became a bit more technologically inclined. I bought a Go Phone for the kids. I am feeling pretty weird about it. I survived until I was 29 without having a cell phone but I've found I hate to send my kids out someplace without any way to reach them. Oh, when I say I didn't have a cell phone until I was 29, the cell phone was a "brick" which is the approximate size, shape and weight of a real brick. Husband and I shared it while I was pregnant with our first child. The agreement was that I'd call him when I went into labor. I called him a couple of times while he was a graduate student just to say, "Psych!" I amuse myself. My second phone came just after I had my second child. It was about half the size of the first phone. No way would it fit into a pocket and I certainly couldn't clip it onto my belt. Over the years they have gotten smaller and smaller and much more frustrating and enjoyable. I still don't text although I think I will need to soon enough.

So, here I am, holding a little phone that will be my communication with my kids. Sometimes it amazes me where technology has taken us.
