Hold The Phone!

I never answer my home phone. Usually when it rings my response is "F off!" or "What is this?" I always wonder who could possibly be calling me and what in the world they could want. I feel like I have absolutely no information that someone would actually require. Of course that's ridiculous. Sometimes I don't answer because I am in the middle of something really important like blogging or laying naked on my bed at 2:30 pm. I can't be interrupted during that stuff! Other times I'm helping with homework or we're having dinner or one-on-one time with one of the kids and I don't answer the phone during that.

Every once in a while our phone gets this glitch. The glitch is that when people call us they get a recording that their phone is out of order. It's brilliant because it takes them days to realize that their phone is only out of order when they call us. Whenever that glitch happens Jamie and I are so thrilled that we don't get it fixed for weeks. It's a clever trick.

My girl, Robin, points out that I do return phone calls even though I won't answer the phone. I've given it some thought and have figured it out. Because of my current hectic mommy lifestyle, when people call me they are inevitably interrupting either important time with my family, or important time without my family. It annoys me because it's not on my schedule, I guess. So yeah, I'll call you back on my time table and we'll just pray that you don't have my phone issues. Or you could just email me. Emailing is hot.
