For all of you who have been confused about the communication gaps around here, this story is for you. It used to be that you sent me an email or left me a voicemail message and you received an immediate reply. I am afraid those days are over. I am now lucky if I can check my email once a day. Not only am I madly chasing after a toddler (which I have rediscovered is about as rewarding and as futile as chasing a cat), but I am also spending the day with 'technology nazi toddler'. Sam is OBSESSED with ANYTHING that is a gadget. I even attempt to use the laptop and he bangs the keyboard and screams and screams until I give up and close the lid. And forget about talking on the phone. He bellows at the top of his lungs for you to pass it over to him and nothing will distract him from the prize. Needless to say this makes staying in touch with people in a timely manner pretty much impossible. I am thinking that if you need an answer from me right away that sending a text message to my phone is going to be the best way to get in touch with me. That or drugging my toddler. I can read those messages without Sam seeing the phone and you do not need to be bombarded by the cacophony on this end.Once again I am overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. I thought that I could watch Sam during the day and work at night and all would be well. After a few days of childcare all day and working in front of the computer until midnight or later, I am realizing that I cannot do it all. I am too old and too tired. I need to regroup. So please be patient with me. If I am not getting back to you about something you need, please just keep hammering me. Or you can be like my friend Sara and just get in the car and come to my house when my response time is a bit slow. I will leave you with some visuals of the technology nazi toddler in action.
