Getting with the times.....

Ok so here we go. We are getting with the program and now have "texting". If you do not know what texting is it is where you can "type" a message with your cell phone and send it to someone like an instant message. There have been so many times where I have needed to get a hold of Paul for something little but important and he does not answer his phone. (I know all of you ladies have no idea what I am talking about because all of your husbands answer their phones when you call them I am sure!) Or the kids go somewhere and all I want is a simple phone call to know that they got there and everything is good. (Sorry I am an overprotective parent! They will tell you that I am as well!) Anyway we made some changes with our cell phone plan so we added that to all of our phones for next to nothing. So we are officially a part of the "texting" world. So if any of you "text" let me know I know my kids are very excited about this new feature. My theory is that now they have absolutely no excuse to not get a hold of me. Plus they can text their friends without it being long distance or costing minutes.

Another thing we have done is added satellite TV. Where we live when the new changes happen in Feb. we will not have any TV. We tried the converter box but that eliminated all of the stations except 3. Needless to say 2 of them do not even carry anything decent. So we cut everything off our phone, went to an answering machine and added basic satellite. Just so the kids can watch their smallville and we can still see our desperate housewives and greys anatomy.

Technology - it is unreal how quickly things can change around you and you not even notice. I can't wait to see what happens in another 10 years. Now we just have to figure out DVR is and how to operate it. Paul has problems with the current remote I can't wait until wed when we get the new one.

Take care & God Bless!!
