Well, the kids have begged us and we have given in and gotten them Text messaging. WHAT A MESS! There is just this unleashed constant distraction now vibrating in their pockets. It's a new learning for when to and how to be politically and familially correct. GRRRR. We've resisted for so long........ now we'll see how it goes. If you'd like to send them a text message ( of which they may only send and receive 250 a month) you may do so from your cell phone to theirs, or through this handy site on the computer that I found today. http://parentsempowered.org/send/Call me if you don't have their cell phone numbers.
UPDATE: That didn't work! In three days Kacy had reached her 250 limit!! Can we believe that??!! So... we made the decision to upgrade again. They now have unlimited "in-texting" (meaning people with Verizon) and 500 monthly texts otherwise. This just raised the annual budget another $120 annual. ARGH!!) I guess that we are moving with the times...but OUCH! Did I feel pinched into the technological corner!
