I had a cell phone, simple and small,
For babysitters only, when they might deign to call.

That’s all I needed, or so I thought,
Until my hubbie, the IPhone, he bought.

“Uh oh!” I thought, “my Unplugged Life is in danger!”
“Daily technology is here, and no longer a stranger!”

I was shocked as I snapped that 3G is … cool.
What an awesome and cute little net learning tool!

I can listen to radio (vive!) from France in my car,
and keep up with my blog from here, there, and far.

I can see Earth from space, and the clouds that cover it,
Get all the news - a lot, or just a little bit.

I need no window to know if it’s cloudy or sunny
There’s a new app for that, it’s really quite funny!

With my kids I just sighed, looked down and shrugged.
From now on bear with me, we’re Semi-Unplugged.

Ugh, I spent the whole morning writing a complicated post and it suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Not only that, every single post that I had written since September 2nd evaporated also! Nightmare!!

Thanks to the Word Press help forum, I was able to repair the appropriate database and all seems to be back to normal, however I am frustrated and feel like a slug that I spent my precious morning on the computer with absolutely nothing to show for it (except my new knowledge of how to repair a database table).

“Mom Unplugged” indeed. I am grumpy. I shall now truly unplug myself for today. Maybe another day I’ll have the energy to rewrite the destroyed portion of that post.

Now for a cup of tea…
