I never thought I'd get an answering machine. Now we have call waiting and an answering machine. But in part that's sort of my security system with the kids. If they're somewhere and I'm not reachable, they can call and leave a message on the answering machine and I can retrieve it from afar and have a better sense of what's going on. I can call and leave a message and say where I am or what I'm doing.
Late afternoon is just a horrible time.
And that's gone by the wayside. But we need to think about getting it back. Right now it seems our schedules aren't quite together. And that bothers me. Liz has to eat really soon.
