Cave men are hot.

There was a glitch yesterday in technology in my household. It caused quite a ruckus and could have ended badly. Sometimes I want to go back to days before cell phones and texting, it was so easy to get lost and have some peace. In todays technological world, peace is a word that has almost went by the wayside in it's meaning. It's kind of like the old word gay. Now don't get your panties in a wad, I literally mean the original form of the word meaning "happy". Now a days if someone was to say "that little boy was so gay" clearly our minds would all go in a different direction, than that of what it actually means. Sort of like peace is quickly becoming. People, especially the younger generation, have lost all contact and understanding of a truly peaceful life, or even just a peaceful evening (let's start small). I'm apparently included in this statement, because yesterday had my world turned upside down. I was having a frustrating morning and wasn't feeling well to boot, and decided to text my husband my frustration. In doing so my phone decided it didn't want to send the text I had actually typed in it's entirity but rather pull up a really old text (that I had sent to my husband months ago) and add the last two lines from my new text to it. Of course he didn't remember getting the other text, we've slept since then. And he didn't even get the text I actually sent him, so the conversation was completely out of control. He still thinks I was texting someone else and meant to send it to them. Clearly we have some trust issues to work through, but we're fine. Some normal growing pains in a new marriage. However, this argument would have never occured had their been no "smartphones" or technical glitches. I was ready to throw it out the window. I want peace again. I want zero distractions and no possible avenue for accusations. I want to be able to take a nap and not worry about my phone going off and waking me up. I want to be able to go for a drive and not have to stress over if I have service or not. My family is very bad about wanting to know your every move. And that's fine, we're close, we all love each other very much. It's not a nosey thing, but a "I want to be a part of your life, be there for you, help you, know you" thing, so I'm not complaining.....just stating a fact. When I get a text or a call from my mother, I better text back immediately. Do it! Don't hesitate! Because if I don't then my husband gets a call, or texts, or both, "where is she?, Is she ok?" It's even possible that a cop show up on my doorstep for a well check. I admit....it's annoying at times, but she means well. There are times though, especially here recently when I just want to shut my phone off and go about my life. Technology is not necessarily a good thing, it's not a necessary evil either, it's just not necessary. We are talking about a very new convenience, texting has been within the last 10 years or so. Mobile phones within the last 25 maybe. And in the grand scheme of things with humanity being around for "how many years now?", this is a very new commodity. I think we will survive if something happens and technology goes to the wayside (oh how sweet the sound), or at least I and mine will. Maybe that should be our new goal as a family, to weed out technological distractions. We already are without cable and internet (I type this at work, shhhh), maybe we should eliminate smartphones next.....hmmmmmm
