I'll have the insecurity with a side of angst please
Today I went to run some errands with the kids and I forgot my phone at home. I felt NAKED!
The whole time I was shopping I kept thinking that I heard my phone beeping and I would reach for it to check it and I would remember that it was sitting at home. Each time it was like a tiny stab to my heart.
People are used to having constant access to me. I always have my phone right by me. All I could think when I was shopping was that surely people were trying to call and text me and email me and get in touch with me and I had let them down by leaving my phone at home. Oh, the humanity!
By the time I got home I was worn out just thinking of how many people I was going to have to explain to why I was incommunicado for all afternoon. I came in the house and grabbed my phone, sweet relief flooding over me.
No missed calls, no emails, no texts.
Now I just feel sad.
One year ago today Jesse said something kind of dumb.
Three years ago today Joseph did something kind of sweet.

That's hilarious.
I'm not a texter, and I don't get many calls on my phone, but whenever I accidentally leave it at home I feel like THAT will be the day when the school blows up or something.
hah, you're talking about me......
Gosh, Now I wish I had called you. Gramma
