Sometimes it's mind boggling how much electronic time I waste all day.

I know there are many statistics about kids over using their phones and computers , but let's face it, we are just as bad.
I realized it today when I went from my car to the numerous meetings and errands I had with my phone in my hand, not in my purse.  It has officially migrated.  I get nervous when I don't have it.  I get nervous when my battery is low.  I get crazy when I realize that I have forgotten to return the 50 or so emails I now get daily.  More than once I have turned around and gone back home for my phone, panicked that I might miss something or someone.
And FORGET shopping on the web.  Those messages are now instant deletes!  What the heck happened to me??  I have succumbed.  I wistfully tell my kids stories about life BEFORE cell phones and email.  Shocking to them, they couldn't even begin to conceive of it.
Pretty soon there will be re-hab for habitual phone and texters.  I will be there for sure.  It will likely take me over a week of no phone to regain my self esteem.  But for now?  To whomever I haven't returned a call or email a blanket apology.  There is always tomorrow, as long as my phone is charged!
