I want to get a BlackBerry. 
Never mind it’s the last thing I really need. I’m a stay-at-home, home schooling mom. I spend a lot of time here with my laptop within reach, so easy to check the inbox when ever I want. Aren’t those email devices for people always on the go, running to catch a plane or stuck in traffic? The only thing I’ve run to catch lately is a toddler and the last time I found myself stuck in traffic, I was on the way home from vacation.
But I still want one.
I think it’s because I want to feel more important, more part of the outside world. Mothering would be transformed into a exciting life with a BlackBerry tucked in my purse. I like the tiny keypad too. What brilliant emails I could craft with a nifty BlackBerry.
That’s the difficult part of being a stay-at-home mom, watching Doc leave the house everyday. I can stay in my pajamas all day, and no one cares. Part of me misses the rushing out-the-door thing, having a place to go. Now I go for days without leaving the house. It’s isolating, this raising kids gig. A person with a BlackBerry is a multi-tasker, a gal on the go, with a knack for having fun. At least, I believe she is.
So I want the BlackBerry. Just because.
Okay, I have a blackberry. (we were fortunate that my husband’s company gave us his old phone when they upgraded to new ones). Anyway, I am NOT a multitasker! I am not a girl on the go! LOL When we first got it I set up the e-mail just to feel special and honestly, hated checking it on the phone. Within a week I stopped doing that.
I will say the nice thing is that if my phone is charging off the computer I can get on-line with my laptop wherever I go. We just discovered that feature and I have already gone to Barnes and Noble and surfed the web from their cafe with it. That right there, makes the phone for me. LOL
But you must be. That’s my perception. And it did make you feel special! See, I’m right.
I also can go for days without leaving the house. It was hubby’s payday and I told him we had to go put gas in my car. He said why? where did you go? and I thought about it, and I realized I really hadn’t gone anywhere, it was just a reaction, get paid, get gas, lol.
I like not leaving the house most days. We have stuff to do here, obviously. But come Saturday, I need a change of scene.
[...] Guess what I have? [...]
