I digress... Back to the Blackberry...
See, I'm good at lots of stuff. Maintaining a schedule is not one of them. When I worked, I relied on BFF to keep me abreast of certain things. What time school started, when there were scheduled days off, late starts, and snow days to name a few. Even after I was laid off, BFF regularly kept me updated on the "things I needed to know". As I've told you, BFF recently moved to BFFE (Bum F**k Effin' Egypt). She now lives 5 hours north of me. What does this have to do with falling asleep clutching a Blackberry, you ask? Everything.
See, it was snowing last night. A lot. And with BFF so far away, I, for the first time in my life as a mother, needed to keep myself informed of school delays and/or closings! So not only did I sign up for weather alerts from the Twin Cities Weather Center, I signed up for school delay and closing updates from one of the local news stations. All of these updates were being sent to my Blackberry. (See! Method to my madness.) It turns out that the schools in my fun little suburb were in fact closed today (which is amazing to me). And I found out ALL BY MYSELF... *proud panda*
Here's the best part, though. Because I slept clutching my Blackberry, I received a message from BFF around 6:30 this morning telling me that schools in my town were closed and I could stay in bed. Even 5 hours away she is taking care of me... I feel so loved.
Ok, it's not this bad, but wouldn't it suck if it were?
