Today was just one of those do nothing
day. I didn't do anything, John didn't do anything,
my son is at his Dads but I KNOW him and I am
sure he didn't do anything. Just Rowan did things
and that is because she is a baby and exploring is
her thing. I am grateful nobody urinated in front
of me though.I even left the dishes, and there are
a lot since we are sort of nibbling on leftover and
grabben a new plate each time.


John did talk to his Mother in Law for
a while though but that isn't really anything new
for he talks on the phone more then anyone
I know. I have seen teenage girls walk into a
room and go "Woah, your still on the phone?"
I feel bad for my daughter for she is going to
have to compete with her Dad for phone time.


Now me, YUCK, it has to be something pretty
important to get me on the phone and even then
I am looking for a reason to get off the phone.
I seldom answer and let 99 percent of my calls
go to voice mail and I have been trying to
convince my good friend forever that it is not
just her calls I don't answer it is society at
large.


I think the phone is the worst invention
in the history of the world for its one of the last
refuges where manors have held out and a lot
of people are the one more thing type of people
that when ever you try to get off the line you get
a SURE, okay but one more................. I don't care
if you inform these people that your house is on fire
and the flames are seconds away from licking the
cuffs of your pants there will still be one more thing
they have got to tell you before you can hang up.


Now the part that really kills me is now a days
people are rude to each other all the time, face to
face and courtesy has went out the window but
when you are on the phone nobody ever stops
and says "Look, your stupid one more thing is
doing nothing for me but giving me a headache and
I don't care how important that one more thing is
I am hanging up now!" Noooooooooooooo, we
listen and say the Uhuh's when we are supposed to and
the yeah I hear ya until we slowly drift into a coma.
I am the worst with letting me drag it on and on and
have even fallen asleep before so it is just in my
best interest to not answer the phone at all.


It doesn't mean I don't like you, it just means
I am not interested in listening to you tell me
how your pea's and carrots were touching
on your dinner plate. If you feel that needs to
be shared with the world start a blog like I did!





Moral of the Day: Three rings does not mean I am
in the bathroom it means I am avoiding the call so
please stop. Five or more rings just make my head
hurt!
