President's Day

Happy Presidents' Day! Today the girls are off from work and school making it a three day weekend. Nice to have them home. My pc was down for over a week, broke down on Valentines' Day, so I could not check email, blog or do anything. You don't how much you rely on your computer until you do not have it. Are there things in your life that you can not live without? I know my cell phone and my computer are things that are connected to me at the hip and when they breakdown I feel lost. It it funny how years ago, we did not have these items and were able to pay bills by writing a check. Pulled over to find a phone booth to make a call.....Can you even find a phone booth now? And if you did would you dare touch it for the germs that it is probably housing?? Life has changed so much that now we worry about having hand sanitizer in our purses and pockets and not shaking hands during flu season. Remember the 3 second rule? When you would eat that piece of candy as a kid that fell on the ground because it had only been on the ground for less than 3 seconds. Now we worry about salmonilla and food contamination. I liked the innocence that we had when we were kids. Not worrying about bills, phone calls or germs. When you could play outside until it was too dark to see. Now no matter how old your children are, you worry about them when they leave the house, no matter what time it is. The good old days, that were not that long ago are sorely missed.
