Lucky...


I have little to no technical capabilities. And I do not even try. My computer dies..."hey Jed!" The TV isn't working..."hey Jed!" My phone is acting up or I need an App for that..."hey Jed!"

I worked for a high-tech company for almost 15 years and was a marketing manager for a techie product that I had never used because it scared me.

I have never downloaded a song. The thought of it makes me queasy.

So in lies my stress tonight. Looking at the TV listings - I see that 24, Desperate Housewives and The Golden Globes are all on at the same time. Poor planning. All day I have thought of the pros and cons of watching each one. You see, because of my lack of techno knowledge, I also don't own a DVR or tivo, or cable for that matter. I do have a VCR, but have never been able to figure out that record feature.

I am so lucky - my biggest stress today is what to watch and what will I miss.

There are so many mothers today wondering how to feed their children, to keep them safe, to provide them with shelter. They weigh heavy on my mind today.

I am thankful to have choices today. Who knows what tomorrow brings.

I'd never believe that this is the baby giving you such fits... until of course that last photo... that is the face saying "enough, stop now or I'll start it Mom!"

What a little belle!

XOXO,

Okay, I thought I was the only one on the earth who still used a VCR to tape shows. lol No Tivo or DVR here either.........
And, on another note, Astrid just grows more beautiful every day--she's gorgeous!

I, too, leave it mostly up to Jack to fix, find and repair things! Nothing wrong with that - after all we want them to feel needed don't we? LOVE the pictures of Astrid - she is beautiful and I wish I could hold her!

Very poignant. You are a good writer. I have to say, that 3rd pic down... she is saying, "yeah, I've got your number, I have this all figured out." She is sooo stinkin' cute! I do love your blog.

I love your photos of Astrid!
And you are very right, I am very thankful for the multitude of options we have...it is hard not to take everything we have for granted.
