Cell Phones - what did we do without them?

Everyday when my kids get home from school, they give me a call on my cell phone. It's our link to each other.

I am sometimes away from my office (cell phone) when the after school call comes. Well, yesterday, this happened and when I realized I was not by my cell phone at the designated time, I hustled back to my office. I HAD ONLY MISSED 22 CALLS FROM HOME!!!!

Child #3, Parker, couldn't believe that I wasn't there - thus the 22 missed calls!!! I love that I was missed 22 times - but if I don't answer on the first 21 - guess what - I'm not there.

The first cell phone I ever had was when I was working at American Investment Financial and I was provided a company phone - which was the size of a regular home portable phone. I remember that it made me feel really cool (and safe) having this phone. I was pregnant with Parker when I got the phone (maybe that's why he called me 22 times yesterday).

I don't know what we ever did without cell phones! We can talk to anyone at any time and in any place.
It's an amazing thing .... That cell phone ring.... (today's rhyme)
